Stretch Your Muscles

Stretch your hip and leg muscles, especially before an activity. This removes stress on your spine and helps prevent injuries.

Avoid Poor Posture

Slouching can strain your spinal discs causing it to become herniated.

Strengthen Your Core 

Abdominal muscles help in supporting your spine. Strengthen them by doing core targeted exercises such as planking.

Lift Properly 

Don't twist or bend your back when lifting an object. Make sure to keep your spine straight when lifting. If the item is too heavy, ask for help.

Stop Smoking

Smoking reduces calcium absorption and restricts proper blood circulation. This increases the risk of developing osteoporosis and slower healing.

Don't Sit Too Much

Too much sitting not only causes problems in your spine but also on your overall health. Take a break from sitting by standing up every 30 minutes.

Walk

Walking removes stress off the spine. It also helps strengthen your hip and leg muscles.

Maintain A Healthy Weight

Excess body weight can cause your spine to tilt. This leads to chronic back pains.

Relax

Stress tightens your muscles making it harder for them to support your spine.
