5 Tips to Beat Back Pain

Daily stretching helps you to feel better, prevent injury and improve overall well-being. Just five minutes a day will make a huge difference in how you feel and look.

When you do have back pain these tips can help provide some relief:

  1. Sit with your knees slightly higher than you hips to provide better low back support. 
  2. Keep within 10 pounds of your ideal weight. 
  3. Lift with your legs, not your back and keep the object close to your body.
  4. When sleeping on your back add pillows under your knees or lay on your side with a pillow between your knees to reduce the pressure. 
  5. Treat minor back pain with anti-inflammatory and gentle stretching, followed by an ice pack.
