The holidays should be a time of joy—not nagging back pain. But for many, the season brings more than gifts and family gatherings. Holiday stress, travel, and long hours on your feet can trigger or worsen back pain, making it hard to enjoy the festivities.
Why Does Stress Make Back Pain Worse?
When you’re stressed, your muscles tense up—especially in your neck, shoulders, and lower back. Add in lifting heavy packages, decorating, or sitting for hours during travel, and it’s no surprise your back can start to ache.
**Muscle Tension: Stress tightens muscles, leading to stiffness and pain.
**Poor Posture: Holiday activities (like wrapping gifts or cooking) can strain your spine.
**Less Exercise: Busy schedules make it easy to skip movement, which your back needs to stay healthy.
Simple Ways to Protect Your Back This Holiday Season
**Take Short Breaks: Whether you’re shopping, traveling, or cooking, pause every 30–60 minutes to stretch and move.
**Lift Carefully: Bend at your knees, not your waist, and keep packages close to your body.
**Watch Your Posture: Sit up straight, keep your shoulders relaxed, and avoid slouching.
**Manage Stress: Deep breathing, walking, or just a few quiet minutes can help your muscles relax.
