Using a 90-degree angle when getting up from the bed will help alleviate back pain. Getting in early movement and steps will reduce stiffness and early morning back pain. When you are playing golf check what’s in your bag before you begin playing and only take what you actually need. If you are a golfer doing a reverse swing as part of your warm-up can help with stiffness. Change the position you sneeze in by arching your back. Use the wall to lean on when cleaning your teeth so that your hand reaching forward to the wall takes some of the strain. Bring your foot up towards your knee to help you put socks and shoes on. When standing in a queue adopt a split stance with your feet, one foot slightly in front of the other. Everyone is different and their back pain will be different so you need to do what is right for you.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Getting in and out of cars is a big deal if you suffer from back pain’ ‘Listening to your body is very important’ ‘Try and change the way you do the activity’   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Back Pain Podcast   ABOUT THE HOSTS Dave Elliot Dave is the owner of Advanced Chiropractic, a chain of Chiropractic and massage therapy clinics in Essex, UK.
