Habits – Seven good habits to avoid back pain. Part 1

6/15/2016

0 Comments

 
Habits, in my experience form the largest percentage of chronic or recurrent back problems, so over then next few posts I will present some of the most common ‘land mines’ to avoid to easily prevent back pain.

1 - Handbags on shoulders.  Handbags are a well enjoyed fashion accessory, and for some reason at the moment, bigger is better.  I’m not saying leave your huge handbag at home (heaven forbid!) but try this experiment – put it on the other shoulder.  If it feels weird or uncomfortable then there is a good chance you are training your body to hold your handbag on one side.  This usually causes a lean in the shoulders to the opposite side and also a lean in the neck to the opposite side among other compensations depending on the tonnage of the handbag load.  This in turn causes shoulder pain, pain between the shoulder blades, neck pain and can cause headaches.  Tip number 1 - If you do like carrying around a big handbag, or any shoulder bag for that matter, then try and get in the habit of swapping sides regularly.
