The invisible price of your profession
As a nail stylist, you probably spend hours sitting, focused on your clients. Have you ever thought about how this affects your spine?
- Prolonged sitting and slouching put strain on your spine.
- Lower back, neck and shoulder pain become constant companions.
- Over time, serious problems can develop that affect your work and quality of life.
Worst of all, we are often not even aware of these problems until it’s too late.

Why are there injuries?
Injuries are mainly caused by overloading the back and/or lack of exercise. In both cases, the spine starts to lose flexibility and movement becomes restricted.
Excessive or constant stress on the intervertebral discs causes the fluid that makes them up to leak. As the intervertebral discs gradually dry out, the distance between the vertebrae decreases, leading to friction, which often results in a pinched nerve or even destruction of the intervertebral discs.
How can I prevent back pain?

Regular physical activity
Movement is one of the best ways to relieve back pain. Focus on trunk strengthening exercises and regular stretching. Stronger muscles and better mobility reduce tension and relieve pain.
Start slowly and gradually increase the intensity. Just 30 minutes of walking, swimming or cycling several days a week is enough.
Ergonomically designed working environment
Prolonged sitting in a bad posture often causes back pain. Adjust your chair and desk so that you are sitting upright, with your feet on the floor and your work surface at a suitable height.
Use a chair with lumbar support or put a cushion to support your back. Take regular breaks – get up every 30 to 60 minutes, stretch or take a quick walk.
Maintaining a healthy weight
Excess weight puts extra strain on the spine, especially the lumbar spine. Reducing weight reduces pressure on the vertebrae and back pain. A healthy weight has a positive effect on overall well-being and reduces the risk of disease.
For a healthy weight, eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly and choose wholesome foods. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks.
Stress management
Stress often causes back tension and additional pain. Learn relaxation techniques – less stress means less pain and better mobility.
Try breathing exercises, meditation, yoga or simply activities that relax you. Relaxation reduces muscle tension and eases back pain.
