🎄 Travelling to Family or Friends This Christmas?
(Save your spine before the drive ✨)
Long car rides, flights, and hauling gifts can leave your body feeling not-so-festive. A few simple tips to keep you comfortable and moving well:
🚗 If you’re driving:
✔ Adjust your seat so hips are slightly higher than knees
✔ Support your lower back with a small cushion or towel
✔ Take a break every 60–90 minutes to stretch and walk
✈️ If you’re flying:
✔ Keep shoulders relaxed (no hunching over phones!)
✔ Gently rotate your neck and roll shoulders during the flight
✔ Stay hydrated — muscles don’t love dehydration
🎁 Lifting gifts & luggage:
✔ Bend at the hips and knees, not your back
✔ Keep items close to your body
✔ Ask for help — Christmas injuries aren’t cute 😉
💆♀️ Feeling tight or sore already?
A quick chiropractic adjustment or massage before travel can help:
✨ Reduce tension
✨ Improve mobility
✨ Make those long journeys more comfortable
📅 Ask your practitioner for some stretches just for you! We still have limited appointments before Christmas — your body will thank you https://www.alignedhealthclinics.co.uk/booking
