CORRECT POSTURE: HELP FOR YOUR BACK PAIN!

An incorrect postural habit can cause muscle pain in shoulders, back and various aches and pains in our body.

In this season, weather agents such as cold weather and humidity can also contribute to muscle aches. In fact, these are not good for our joints, and for those suffering from specific issues, winter proves to be a rather difficult season.

THE MAIN CAUSES OF BACK PAIN

• Incorrect posture
• Weight problems, such as being overweight
• Pregnancy overloads
• Heavy exertions due to physical activity or lifting weights incorrectly.

For those who work in the office or spend a lot of time in front of the computer, it is most important to have correct posture at the PC. Sitting incorrectly for a long time causes various pains that may not be resolved by simple postural rehabilitation in the long run.

How we sit in front of the computer then determines our shoulder, back and neck pain. For example, being bent forward for too long can cause shoulder pain. The chair is the first thing that needs to be changed in case of back pain: in fact, this must be designed to best respect the person’s physiological posture. The backrest should be supportive and supportive to the lumbar spine so that the back does not curve. The same for the arms: for typing on the computer they should form a 90-degree angle and the feet should be firmly on the ground or supported by a small elevation.

For mild forms of muscle pain, rehabilitative exercises can be done, such as stretching exercises for the lower back and neck area. Combined with these, decontracting massages can also help relieve pain.

CORRECT POSTURE, NATURE IS ON OUR SIDE

Instead, nature comes to our aid in this case with three particular plants: devil’s claw, boswellia, turmeric, and ginger. The latter two have an anti-inflammatory action and can be applied as compresses directly to the inflamed area for a little relief.

Other plants such as Boswellia and Devil’s Claw: long known for their analgesic properties. Devil’s claw gels are able to generate an intense and pleasant sensation of heat that relaxes contracted muscles and loosens stiffened joints. In general, devil’s claw gel soothes the sensation of pain in cases of stress, cold blows or sudden movements. It is useful for athletes, to warm up muscles, and for the elderly, to maintain joint function.
