Back Care Awareness Week

Gives us all the opportunity to focus on back pain prevention!

What we can do to avoid or reduce back pain.

Develope and encourage Good Habits.  

Avoid back pain in our children;

- consciously act and lighten the school bag.

- buy a bag on wheels.

- buy a chair that encourage movement and give support.

- check on their posture, is the desk at the correct height for them?

- encourage good posture.  

Become conscious of the way you work.

Improve posture at work;

- When standing, watch your posture.

- Sit upright - don't slouch.  Sit with your hips a bit higher than your knees and your feet flat on the floor - or flat on a footrest. Try to be aware of how you sit, after a while you'll have taught yourself good posture.

- Change your position frequently while sitting and get up and move every 30 minutes

- Include body stretches in your day. - Drink water - a hydrated body heals quicker, works better.

- Lift correctly - using your leg muscles not your back.

- Always bend your knees and hips not your back.

- Exercise regularly.

- Maintain a healthy weight.

Your back care solution could be in your own hands.
