Interrupting the flexed postures at frequent intervals by standing upright and bending backward will help prevent excessive strain on the spine and relieve pressure on the disks. Quitting the job may not always be a realistic option, and avoiding forward bending altogether is not recommended as it can lead to spinal stiffness. Preparing for forward bending by engaging core muscles and posteriorly tilting the pelvis may also help, but interrupting the flexed posture is the most important recommendation in this case.
