It is important to keep moving and vary your activities to help avoid pain. Break up your activities and been careful about repetitive motion for too long at a time. When my husband built my sewing center he made the top drawer in the drawer section to the left of my machine to be an ironing center complete with a specially hinged ironing board that pops up. It was such a nice thought but I rarely use it because I need to get up and walk to the ironing board to press during the construction process. Sitting too long is not good for our bodies.
