WATCH YOUR POSTURE<br />
Avoid sitting or standing in a hunched<br />
position for a long period of time. This position<br />
actually places, even more, stress on<br />
the back and spine, which are already under<br />
extreme pressure as it is. And, when<br />
having to sit or stand up for many hours<br />
in one position, be sure you take breaks<br />
and also try to switch positions often.<br />
Keep your knees a little higher than<br />
your hips when you are sitting. Never sit<br />
straight, nor slouch. Make sure your spine<br />
maintains a natural curve. Using chairs<br />
with wheels can help you adjust position<br />
often and keep excessive strain at bay.<br />
TRY SWITCHING TO YOGA<br />
If you have a lot of back pain and<br />
do a lot of situps and crunches for building<br />
strength, you need to find other exercises;<br />
those only make the pain worse. The<br />
yoga plank position is a good alternative<br />
and can help your back and core.<br />
