The Importance of Walking Breaks

Fanwood Chiropractor Eric Chludzinski explains the importance of taking walking breaks throughout the day.

In this study, researchers observed that participants who took a five-minute walking break every half-hour were less likely to experience standing-induced low back pain after two hours than those who didn't take breaks.
