It is officially spring, which means it’s time for spring cleaning! This taxing task often takes several days to complete and can cause back pain and muscle soreness. Here are our tips for a painless spring cleaning session.
Take Breaks
The chiropractors at Bird Chiropractic suggest you take plenty of breaks when doing tasks that can be both physically demanding and lengthy. Trying to accomplish too much too quickly is a sure way to invite back pain. Try to take a small break at least once every hour to give yourself time for you to stretch, which releases tension that can build-up in the body while getting the job done.
Divide the Workload
It’s best to divide a heavy workload — not only will it be less taxing on your body, but it will be more enjoyable! Take a good look at your list and find a few things you can have your family help with. Getting help with the chores can help keep you from overdoing it, which can lead to body and back pain.
Practice Good Posture While Doing the Heavy Lifting
Most people don’t associate proper posture with good health, but we know just how important proper posture is to overall wellness. Whether you are being active, relaxing and looking at your phone, or doing household chores, proper posture plays an imperative role in keeping back pain at bay.
