Traveling should be exciting and relaxing, not a source of back pain. Long hours of sitting can put strain on your spine, but there are many things you can do to prevent this from happening:
- Pack Smart: Packing can make or break your travel comfort. When packing, try to distribute the weight evenly inside the bag. Put heavier items on the bottom and closer to the wheels. It also helps to roll your clothes so you can maximize the space.
- Maintain Good Posture: If you’re traveling for a long time, it can be easy for you to have poor posture. It’s so important to maintain good posture to prevent back pain. If you’re able, try to get up every 30 minutes to an hour to stretch your back.
- Stretch Before Traveling: Stretching before traveling can help to keep your spine and muscles relaxed which can help prevent pain.
