Posted on Sept 27, 2022 by Jessica Williams

1-      Maintain a healthy weight to reduce the strain on your back.

2-      Exercise regularly to strengthen your core muscles and improve flexibility.

3-      Use good posture when standing, sitting, and lifting to avoid putting unnecessary strain on your back.

4-      Lift heavy objects properly by bending your knees and using your leg muscles to lift, rather than your back.

5-      Avoid sitting in one position for long periods of time. Take regular breaks to stand up and stretch.

6-      Use a lumbar roll or other supportive device to maintain the natural curve of your lower back when sitting.

7-      Sleep on a mattress that is comfortable and supportive to help keep your spine in alignment.

8-      Wear comfortable, low-heeled shoes to help reduce strain on your back.

9-      Avoid smoking, as it can reduce blood flow to your spine and contribute to back pain.

10-   If you have a desk job, make sure your computer monitor is at eye level, your chair is comfortable and supportive, and you have a good workspace setup to reduce the risk of back pain.
