BACK PAIN PREVENTION SIMPLE SOLUTIONS FOR A LIFE FREE FROM PAIN
A little prevention goes a long way. If you want to avoid future back pain, you can make sure you’re being good to your back.
LIFT PROPERLY You pick things up constantly. Even if you’re lifting something light, make sure you’re first facing the object and standing as close as possible. Then squat while keeping your spine straight. Lift with your leg muscles, as this will reduce the pressure placed on your spine. USE GOOD POSTURE When you’re standing, imagine a string is attached to the top of your head—lifting you up. This will keep your hips, spine, shoulders and neck aligned. If you’re sitting, don’t slouch. USE STRENGTH TRAINING Yourbodyhashundredsofmuscles.Thesemusclesprotectandcontrol your spine. By lifting weights, running and swimming, you can keep them strong. Train your core muscles. In doing so, you’ll easily control quick, lifting movements. It never hurts to visit Ottawa Health Group, either. Get regular check- ups, and make sure your body is in good condition. If you have a history of back injuries, pain or minor aches, don’t hesitate to talk to a professional.Youdeserveapain-free life,andyourbackwill thankyou.
