We’re sure the cave people didn’t have this amount of back trouble. Modern lifestyle means we need to take extra care of this precious asset even more than before.
Here are some simple back care tips to keep in mind:
- Regular exercise – it really does help
- Don’t sit on your work chair for more than 30 minutes. Set a timer online and get up for a drink of water or to do something standing up, every half hour
- Lifting – if you think it’s too heavy it probably is. Do it in two loads or grab a mate to help
- If you are in pain, seek help sooner rather than later. It will save you money in the long run as you will need fewer treatments
- If you drive a lot and are sitting in the same position, take breaks to stretch
- Be aware of carrying heavy bags only one side
- Be kind – it is the only back you have. The trade-in market does not exist. Yet
Don't just soldier on...
