Don’t Let Back Pain Spoil Your Holiday

Holidays are meant to be enjoyable. For some this means lying on a beach, soaking up the sun, for others it may mean being more active whilst for others it means spending quality time with family and friends. Whatever you want out of your holiday our chiropractor at Witney Chiropractic Clinic is certain it’s not back pain!

If your holiday means that you have to fly to your destination then our chiropractor offers these simple steps for you to follow which should minimise the risk to your back when travelling.

Preparation

Think about the luggage you are going to use. There are plenty of lightweight luggage options on the market these days so if your case is heavy even before you start packing invest in a lighweight on. Choose a case that has wheels which will allow you to push the case rather than pull it behind yourself.

Avoid having to struggle to identity the case on a carousel by making it stand out, if it doesn’t already!

Have a good night’s sleep before heading off. Tiredness can result in accidents!

At the airport

If you can avoid using a trolley then do so. All too often they have wheels that have a mind of their own and it’s so easy to put your back out struggling with one!

On the flight

Do exercises in your seat to help avoid stiffness. Shoulder shrugs, foot circles and buttock clenches are good ones and can be done in your seat. If you can get up and have a walk around then that will help.

At the other end

Get moving as quickly as possible. Walking as much as possible will help.

Don’t let back pain spoil your holiday. Following these simple steps from our chiropractor should help.
