Spinal Health Week 19- 25th May - Keeping Your Spine Healthy!

Keeping Your Spine Healthy

 

In our last post we talked about the importance of keeping your spine healthy and what it means to the overall health of your body. Now, let’s explore the simple measures you can put in place to help keep your spine in top shape.

• Take regular breaks from sitting to walk around and stretch to reduce pressure on the spine.
• Maintain a healthy posture whilst sitting and standing.
• Maintain a healthy weight to reduce the load on your spine.
• Sleep on your side with your knees slightly bent and preferably with a pillow between your knees.
• Avoid twisting when lifting heavy items and always bend from your knees, not your waist.
