As the festive season is fast approaching... here are some tips and tricks to remember whilst you are gifting everyone else, it's easy to forget about yourself!
🎄 Chiropractic Tips for Stress-Free Christmas Shopping🎄
✅ Pack Light & Distribute Weight Evenly:
Use a backpack or carry two smaller bags rather than one heavy one. Keep weight close to your body to reduce strain on your back and shoulders.
✅ Lift Safely:
When picking up heavy packages, bend at the knees, not the waist, and avoid twisting your spine.
✅ Wear Supportive Footwear:
Opt for comfortable, cushioned shoes with good arch support to reduce foot, knee, and lower back pain.
✅ Take Frequent Breaks:
Avoid standing or walking for long stretches without rest. Find a spot to sit, stretch, and recharge your muscles.
✅ Maintain Good Posture:
Keep your shoulders back and head aligned over your spine while standing in lines or walking through stores. Avoid slouching or leaning forward.
✅ Listen to Your Body:
Holiday shopping can be exhausting—drink plenty of water and don’t push through pain. Early care is key to avoiding chronic discomfort.
