4 Tips to Protect the Spine

If you are facing continuous spinal problems, it's worth ensuring that your daily habits are friendly to the spine.

When you complete routine work such as cleaning the house, working at the desk, driving, gardening, even sleeping-you can give the 'breath' to the spine. You can make your spine comfortable in these four ways:

1. Choose a good sitting position

Your office chair should provide good support for your spine-ideally, with adjustable backs, lumbar support (waist), arm rests, and wheels. Arrange the workspace so you do not have to rotate the waist to pick something up.

2. Light bag

Do not load too many items or files in your bag. The more load on the bag, especially the backpack, makes your spine harder to work because of the burden.

3. Note the position when driving

Sit on your seat and, if necessary, use a rolled-up blanket or towel to hold your back lower back. Occasionally you need to shift to stretch.
