HERE ARE DAILY ROUTINES TO HELP KEEP BACK PAIN AWAY:
SLEEP WITH A PILLOW UNDER YOUR KNEES
SLEEPING ON YOUR BACK BRINGS PRESSURE TO YOUR SPINE. ELEVATING YOUR LEGS HELPS RELIEVE THAT PRESSURE AS YOU SLEEP.
WORK YOUR CORE
FREQUENTLY INCORPORATING CORE EXERCISES TO YOUR WORKOUT ROUTINE CAN HELP YOU REDUCE YOUR RISK OF BACK RELATED INJURIES.
CHANGE YOUR SHOES
WEARING COMFORTABLE, LOW HEELED SHOES HELP PREVENT STRAIN ON YOUR BACK WHILE STANDING. TRY SHOES WITH LESS THAN 1-INCH HEEL FOR MOST RELIEF.
STAND TALL
GOOD POSTURE PROTECTS AREAS OF THE SPINE & KEEPS THEM HEALTHY AND FUNCTIONING. AVOID ROUNDING YOUR SHOULDERS, SLOUCHING, OR BENDING SIDEWAYS WHILE STANDING.
DON’T SLUMP OVER AT YOUR DESK
INCORPORATE THE SAME POSTURE OF STANDING TALL WHILE YOU’RE SITTING AT A DESK. AT WORK, YOU’RE SITTING FOR MANY HOURS IN A DAY SO MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE A QUALITY CHAIR THAT PROVIDES FIRM SUPPORT FOR YOUR LOWER BACK.
