Most of us get back pain from time to time. This may be due to a
variety of reasons like an accident, sports-related injury or medical
conditions like scoliosis. But most of the time, we suffer from back
pain due to our lifestyle. Today, most of us sit in front of the
computer for several hours and spend a couple of hours watching TV as we
get home to relax. As a result, our spine is compressed; thus, causing
pain in your neck and back. Fortunately, there’s a lot ways to prevent this problem. If you want
to have a good posture and relieve back pain, consider the following
tips.<br />
<br />
<strong>Exercise</strong><br />
If your back hurts, most of you may think that the best way to get
relief is take a rest and limit exercise. While resting for a day or two
may help, resting for a couple more days will not help in addressing
the pain. Experts believe that regular exercise can help ease muscle
tension and inflammation. The benefits of exercise are incredible. The more you move, the
happier and healthier you get. Plus, people who exercise regularly and
keep their muscles toned are less likely to deal with issues like neck
and back pain.<br />
<br />
<strong>Maintain a good posture</strong><br />
Good posture can help prevent neck and back pain, compressed nerves,
ligament strains and other injuries. It also plays a major role in our
health and improves our appearance. By maintaining a good posture,
you’ll be able to stimulate the work of your digestive and circulatory
systems and improve your respiratory capacity. Plus, it can help you
project self-confidence.<br />
<br />
<strong>Stretch everyday</strong><br />
Those who are dealing with neck and back pain would find that stretching is a great way of addressing this problem. Do some exercises that will help increase your flexibility. This will
not only keep you fit, it will also strengthen your muscles. Allot a
few minutes each day to stretch your body and relax your muscles.<br />
<br />
<strong>Avoid high heels</strong><br />
We understand that women want to look stylish and beautiful, but
wearing high heels can shift your center of gravity; thus, straining
your lower back. But if you really need to wear high heels, it would be a
good idea to bring along a pair of flats with you so you can slip into
them once you become uncomfortable.laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09187069755273632377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790058713443805347.post-76482546129037790042014-02-10T05:30:00.002-08:002014-02-10T05:30:42.672-08:00Mid-Winter Self-Care BreakIt's Monday morning and there's more snow on the ground, and another storm is expected later on this week. If you're feeling battle weary from the shoveling, de-icing, power outages, kids' snow days, etc, that this winter has brought us, a self-care break might be just what you need. Cumulative stress can impact both body and soul, and a mid-winter massage can do wonders to lift your spirits. So take time for yourself and schedule your personal care time-out. You'll be glad you did.laurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09187069755273632377noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790058713443805347.post-68401394761001522382013-11-28T06:04:00.000-08:002013-11-28T06:04:25.316-08:00Pausing from Repetitive Stresses<span class="userContent">Happy Thanksgiving!
