When embarking on a long journey divide your trip into short segments of two hours. This avoids driver fatigue and your back will thank you for the break. Get out and walk around your car or to the restrooms, this helps stretch your spine and takes pressure off your back. Remember to take your lumbar roll if you have back problems.
Take your pillows with you if you have neck problems, as sleeping in a different bed with strange pillows may aggravate your neck pain.
Take a daily walk of about half an hour – it will decrease your pain and help your blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes.
Don’t take a break from your physio exercises even if you are on holiday.
Drink water, maintain a healthy diet and get enough sleep.
