Doctor's advice
To prevent spinal pain, we should have a healthy lifestyle, which is to maintain regular exercise, and should warm up well before starting work. Maintain body mass index within normal limits (not too fat and not too thin). In particular, when standing, the posture must be straight, head straight, looking straight, shoulders back. When carrying heavy objects, do not twist the spine but bend the knees, straighten the back, and carry the object closest to the body.
When working with soil and sand, keep your back straight by stepping forward with one foot and bending your knees, using your knees as a support point to avoid twisting your spine. If you have to stand for a long time at work, use a low-backed chair to rest your feet, and change your feet on the chair every 5-10 minutes.
If you have to sit for long hours at work or drive for long periods of time, take breaks to avoid muscle tension. Use an upright office chair to keep your spine straight. When sitting at work, place your feet slightly higher than your hips. Use a swivel chair to limit twisting of the spine.
In addition, you should always pay attention when carrying a handbag, wear it on your shoulder rather than holding it by hand, it is best to wear it evenly on both shoulders. When handling heavy objects, the action of pushing the heavy object is prioritized, avoid pulling the heavy object which can easily cause injury. Avoid wearing shoes or clogs that are too high (heels higher than 5 cm), you should use shoes and sandals made of soft materials.
