This is my second part of blog on tips to reduce back pain in holidays. In first part we learn that preventing injury and Managing Pain. The best medicine is prevention! Keep your back healthy and you won’t have to deal with the trauma of a bad back.
8) No bending
Do not bend your back or shoulders while picking up something from the ground. Bend your
knee and then pick it up. This exercise is helpful in backache pain relief.
9) Complete Rest
Proper rest is very important for backache cure. Rest flat on your back for at least 2-4 hours
10) Strike a pose
Stand tall, with your ears, shoulders and hips in a straight line. Keep your head up and your
stomach pulled in.
11) Sit with good back support
Make sure your chair has good back support and is the right position and height. If you have to sit for long periods of time, take frequent breaks (and get caught up on the water-cooler gossip!).
12) Lift with the legs
Keep your back straight, and avoid twisting. Better yet, enlist a lifting buddy if the object is just too heavy or awkward.
13) Always Move
I invested in a Pilate’s machine and do the exercises faithfully every day. It strengthens 'the core' and it has made a wonderful difference in my life.
14) Do not sit for long time
If sitting for a long time, get up and walk around your office for about two to three minutes. I
find this helps my back not to get so stiff. In an eight-hour day I do it about very hour.
15) Try yoga
Yoga can help you in getting relief from back pain which had been intermittent for many years.
Basic positions taught in a class are very effective.
In next blog I will publish some easy to use home remedies for back pain
