3 Tips To Help Avoid Back Pain And Stiffness This Winter
As we move into the winter season it can be common for people to suffer more with aches and pains. Back pain, in particular, is a complaint that a lot of people come to see me in the clinic looking for help with, when the weather gets colder and the evenings get darker.
There can be a few reasons for this such as a reduced amount of daylight available which can make exercise harder to fit into your day. While it is still possible to get out and exercise at night, you don’t quite get that same feel good factor that you get during the day from the sun shining on your face.
If it’s cold and lashing rain in the evening it can also be a bit off putting and of course the damp weather in Ireland can affect people who suffer with arthritis.
Also, due to the current level 5 Covid restrictions, gyms, pools and attending classes in person are not allowed which takes that option of exercise away from people. All of this basically can mean that you may not be as active during the Winter months, which can lead to more back ache, pains and stiffness.
But is there a way to counteract this and keep yourself feeling free and mobile.
I believe there is and I have come up three tips to help you.
