Rachael’s end of year tips…

1. Keep your back guessing! Alternate between sitting and standing.

2. Walk tall and keep your head held high! It will show you are happy and confident whilst improving your posture.

3. Keep your back fit – walking and swimming are generally the best ways to do this.

4. Losing weight will help – gravity is something we cannot change but you can ease the stress on joints by being within a healthy weight range.

5. Keep moving even if your back is sore. See our ‘what to do when you have acute back pain’ page.

6. Use a towel, a jumper or a lumbar support (available at MO) whilst driving or sitting at a desk. Use pillows when sitting on the couch!

7. Make stretching part of your daily routine. It will decrease stiffness and help your muscles stay supple.

8. When lifting, make sure the load is not too heavy, large or awkward. If possible, hug the object to you – it will keep your centre of gravity close to you and decrease the strain on your back.

9. If you are waking up stiff and sore, think about your mattress and pillow – are they right for you? MO Osteopaths can advise you on this.

10. Always feeling tired, sore and worn out? The Osteopaths at MO can help get you back on track – decrease pain and leave more energy for living!
