Dealing With Back Pain Out And About












When You're Shopping:


  • Don't shop until you drop - take regular rests or make several short trips
  • Don't overload your trolley and use a high 'tray' trolley rather than a large deep one
  • Distribute your shopping evenly between both hands or hold a bag in front of you, or use a small backpack (not large or over-filled)
  • Wear comfortable shoes


In The Car:


  • Adjust your seat properly so your arms have a slight bent at the elbow when your hands are on the steering wheel
  • Support your lower back with a small cushion or rolled up towel
  • Take regular breaks on long journeys and get out of the car for a stroll and a stretch
