🚗 Balik Kampung? Don’t Let the Long Drive Wreck Your Body! 🤕
Excited for Raya but dreading the long hours behind the wheel? Sitting too long in one position can lead to back, neck, and shoulder pain—and before you know it, your body feels like it just went through a marathon (but without the fun)! 😩
🔎 Why Does Long-Distance Driving Cause Pain?
🔹 Bad posture sneaks in – Slouching, sliding down the seat, or bending forward messes up spinal alignment.
🔹 Stiff neck & shoulders – Keeping your head in one position too long = tension overload.
🔹 Back pain alert! – Prolonged sitting compresses spinal discs and strains ligaments & muscles, leading to soreness and nerve irritation.
💡 Physio-Approved Hacks for a Pain-Free Road Trip
✅ Adjust & move! – Shift your sitting position every 30 minutes.
✅ Take breaks! – Stop every 2 hours, get out, walk, and stretch.
✅ Stay hydrated! – Your muscles need water to stay flexible and avoid cramps.

🚀 Drive smarter, move better, and arrive feeling fresh! Say goodbye to post-road trip body aches and enjoy your Raya celebrations! 🏡✨
