Hello,

As sitting for long hours working on a computer in a static position may lead to troubles like lower limb tightness, pain in knees, swelling etc based on the pathologies they have in the past like blood pressure, high sugar levels, less physical activity, pain and aches of the back, etc.

I will advise you to get involved in the physical exercise 30 minutes a day which will.help improve the overall muscle strength and avoid fatigue setting in faster in the muscles. Also, do posture correction while working on a computer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
