How to Avoid Back Pain While Watching Summer Fireworks

A cool summer night with some fireworks is the perfect way to end the day; however, spending hours seated on the grass can take a toll on your back if you’re not prepared. Here’s what you can do to avoid backpack and enjoy the fireworks:

  • Prepare with Supportive Seating: How you sit can make or break your experience. If you’re sitting on the grass, you’re going to want to bring a supportive cushion or folding chair. 
  • Stretch Before and After: Loosening up your back and shoulders can help to prevent stiffness and promote blood flow. After sitting for a long time, stretching can help to realign your spine and ease muscle tension.
  • Hydrate and Stay Cool: Water helps to reduce muscle cramps or tightness associated with long periods of sitting.
