Thousands of Hongkongers suffer some form of chronic pain, although there are fellowship programme to train medical practitioners to become pain specialists, that these initiatives are undoubtedly a flip for chronic pain sufferers who don't seem to have paid much attention to the problem.  Some patients who have already received successful treatment for whatever disease they have, the pain still afflicts them renders them immobile, severely affecting their life and their family. Chronic pain is horrible, don't wait until it's too late, why not take a simple action to prevent chronic pain?

For posture when standing, we need to make sure we have a neutral pelvic position. Stand upright, face facing forward, back straight and balance our weight evenly on both feet, always keep our head in line with our spine. For posture when sitting, a good seat for working should have good back support, arm rest and a swivel base. When sitting, we need to keep our knees and hips level and feet flat on the floor. Ideally be able to sit upright with support. 

Sometimes we might forget to upright our body, this may lead to chronic pain! Upright Go is a smart gadget reminding you to stay upright, no matter you are standing or sitting, get one now, what are you waiting for?
