Lifestyle Solutions to Prevent or Relieve Your Lower Back Pain
Acknowledging the need to make changes marks the first step towards embracing a proactively healthier lifestyle. Luckily, a range of practical options can help offset one's sedentary lifestyle or choices, which include the following –
- Be mindful of how you are sitting.
- Include stretching in your daily routine as this maintains flexibility, strengthens muscles, and realigns the spine.
- Take regular breaks to move around and stretch. Changing your position every 15 to 20 minutes can minimize lower back disc problems. Consider putting in one or several computer/phone reminders so you get up and walk while chatting on the phone, etc.
- Modify your work environment as necessary. Position your chair to support a relaxed posture for your shoulders and back. Make sure your forearms are parallel to the ground or slightly lower while typing, which helps prevent shoulder shrugging.
