Prevention with modern media
The "transparent person". What was once a symbol of the newly discovered methods in medicine of looking beneath the skin with the aid of physics, to see bones, blood vessels and nerves on a living subject, is today also a symbol of people being "thin-skinned" and vulnerable. Just a thin layer of skin separates a person from the many influences of the working world and the environment. Good reason for us to take good care of our health, both at home and at work. For example: sitting. Millions of people have become immobile through comfortable means of transport and modern age offices and particularly since the introduction of computer work stations.
The result has been a steady increase in the number of back complaints, especially for office workers, due to the lack of exercise essential for the discs and back muscles.
A problem which, incidentally, should be solved not only with better chairs but also by improved work organisation. "Foot-mail, not e-mail".
