Top Physio Life Hacks You Can Start Today
For Men: Ditch the Wallet in Your Back Pocket
Sitting on your wallet may seem harmless, but it can cause hip elevation and spinal misalignment, leading to sciatic nerve compression and chronic back pain. Instead, keep your wallet in your front pocket or bag to maintain proper posture.
For Women: Prioritise Core Activation
Whether you’re lifting groceries or doing yoga, engaging your core helps stabilize your spine and prevent injury. Try incorporating pelvic tilts and deep abdominal breathing into your daily routine to build strength and support.
For Desk Workers: Reset Every 30 Minutes
Prolonged sitting can lead to tight hip flexors and rounded shoulders. Set a timer to stand, stretch, or walk every half hour. Bonus: use a lumbar roll to support your lower back and maintain spinal curvature.
For Active Individuals: Warm Up with Dynamic Movements
Static stretching before exercise can reduce performance and increase injury risk. Instead, opt for dynamic warm-ups like leg swings, arm circles, and walking lunges to prepare your muscles for movement.
