☃️Your Spine's Survival Guide for Festive Travel 🚙🎁🎄
Long car rides and cramped airplane seats can leave your spine feeling stiff and achy. When you're stuck in one position for hours, spinal joints lose mobility and surrounding muscles grow fatigued trying to support you. This combination often leads to that uncomfortable "locked up" feeling when you finally stand.
Before you hit the road, try these travel-friendly habits:
⛄️Roll a small towel or use a small pillow and place it behind your lower back for lumbar support.
🎅Stop every 90 minutes to walk and stretch for just 5 minutes.
🧑🎄Adjust your seat so your knees are slightly lower than your hips.
🤶Pack a tennis ball to roll along your mid-back while resting.
