Working long days at the office can take a toll on the body. Invel’s bioceramic-infused shirts can make a big impact on some of the side effects that come with a desk job.
Sitting for long periods of time can have negative effects on posture. Often, this stress happens in the lower back.
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases suggests a few ways to combat discomfort in that area, which not surprisingly, includes various stretches to elongate and strengthen the area, as well as diet recommendations. From their website:
- Flexion exercises have you bending forward to reduce pressure on the nerves, stretch the back and hip muscles, and strengthen the stomach and buttock muscles.
- Extension involve bending backward, such as lying on your stomach while you lift your leg or raise your trunk. These exercises may reduce pain that spreads from one place and develop muscles that support the spine.
- Stretching improves the extension of muscles and other soft tissues of the back. These exercises can reduce back stiffness and improve range of motion.
- Aerobic exercise gets your heart pumping faster and include brisk walking, jogging, and swimming. Avoid exercise that requires twisting or bending forward quickly, such as aerobic dancing and rowing. Avoid high-impact activities if you have disk disease.
In addition with the suggestions above, Invel’s bioceramic clothing is also a great way to soothe your lower back.
How does Bioceramic clothing work?
The Bioceramic technology in Invel’s clothing emits Far Infrared Rays, which promote the increase of localized Nitric Oxide production in your body.
Nitric Oxide is naturally made by your body, and used for a variety of things: it regulates blood flow, prevents your arteries from hardening and plaque buildup. It can also reduce swelling, and relieve the discomfort that comes with it.
