Question

Martin plays video games for 9 hours a day. He spends 3 hours sitting on a dining chair playing games on his X-Box Series X, and 6 hours sitting on his bed playing games on his laptop. He has started to complain about excruciating pain in his back. What advice would you give him to reduce this pain, based on his daily gaming activities?​

Answer 1

I would tell him to sit himself up, get pills, go to the doctor, get some kind of back brace, etc

Answer 2

Martin seems to play too much on his devices. Furthermore, it isn't shocking to hear his back hurts. I would advise him to cut the game time he exerts in a row. In other words, he needs to stop playing games for that long straight. He should not play for 9 hours straight.

The main reason Martin's back aches is because of the lack of movement and placing his back on a surface for an extended amount of time.

If he takes breaks between his 6-hour game time, he would have done other activities causing him to move around.
