Alleviate back pain
Some of the steps you can take to alleviate your back pain while driving
Office chair
An ergonomically designed seat that is correctly adjusted can help to reduce the strain on your back.
Car seat
The seat is at the right height and that your hips are slightly higher than your knees. You should also be able to reach the pedals without straining
Invest in back support
Using a lumbar support cushion or a contoured backrest can help to reduce the strain on your back muscles.
Take regular breaks
Taking a break every hour or so can help to alleviate the strain on your back. Stretch your arms and legs and take a few minutes to move around.
Adjust your position regularly:
Change position when driving, if making a long journey. Move your seat back or forwards, and make sure you are not leaning too far forward or back.
Stretch your back muscles:
Take some time to do simple stretching exercises that target your back. This can help to reduce any tension in your back muscles
