It’s the holiday season! This means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but one thing is for certain – people will be traveling.🚗🚌✈️🚉
Whether its by car, plane, or even train (do people still do that?), traveling can frequently bring out some extra aches and pains in people. We thought we’d pass along some ideas to help minimize the chances of your discomfort while you’re out and about.
1️⃣ First and foremost, MOVE! 🏃♀️ Unfortunately, traveling often includes extended periods of time spent sitting. This prolonged sitting can lead to some serious discomfort, especially for people who aren’t used to it. A good rule to follow is to stop and get out to move around about once per hour. If you’re traveling anything more than 1.5 hours, we’d recommend at least one stop to get up and walk around. We know you want to get to your destination, but is arriving 10 minutes later worth not being sore for 3 days?
2️⃣ Use your lumbar support. As stated before, travel often includes a lot of sitting and let’s face it, a lot of us sit with pretty poor posture. Adjusting your lumbar settings can be very helpful in providing the support your lumbar spine needs for those extended periods of sitting.
3️⃣ Practice safe lifting techniques when lifting your luggage or bags. This is especially important after those long periods of sitting. The last thing you want to do is sit in your car for several hours and then get out and lift your luggage awkwardly. With your back stiff and your muscles tight, this can be a recipe for pain.
4️⃣ Watch your step. Winter is here whether you like it or not. Driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, they’re likely to be slippery. Throw this on top of being somewhere you may not be as familiar with, this can lead to an increase to a risk of falling. Remember if its icy, waddle like a penguin 🐧. For more information on this, check out a previous post of ours about safety while walking on the ice. (We'll put a link in the comments)
5️⃣ Drink more water. Be sure to drink water before leaving and bring some extra water and healthy snacks for your trip. Poor hydration can lead to a host of issues like cramping and joint pain/stiffness. Plus, as an added bonus, it will help by circling back and making you do more of our first tip 😉
