Healthy Back Tips
Exercise regularly- Something as simple as a daily walk can make a huge difference.
Eat a healthy diet- Healthy nutrients allow the body to repair itself easier.
Keep good posture- Sit up straight and keep your shoulders down.
Stretch your spine- A daily stretch can help alleviate many aches and pains.
Don’t overload your backpack or purse- Remember to carry it over both shoulders to balance the load.
Get up and move once every hour- Whether at a desk or in a car, this will help prevent tightening up and keep the cardiovascular system pumping strong.
Never cradle the phone- Use a headset to keep your neck and shoulders from straining.
Sleep on your back or side, not your stomach- Put a pillow between your knees when on your side or a pillow under your knees when on your back.
Invest in a good chair, pillow, and mattress- When you think about the time you spend using these items daily, it’s worth it.
Get regular spinal check ups- It’s much easier to prevent a problem than to correct a problem.
