Things you can do…
• Avoid standing and sitting for long periods.
If you have no choice but to stand for longer times,
you should then tilt your pelvis forward so that your
buttocks tuck under and your shoulders are kept back;
don't slouch. If you are sitting, move to the back end
of the seat (so that your posture is as erect as possible)
and rest your legs on another chair if possible. Try
walking around in intervals.
• Do some gentle stretching exercises, yoga that
is recommended by someone who is well-versed with such
a condition or some exercise that helps strengthen the
back muscles. Swimming is the other option
• Wear flats only with good support. Avoid platforms,
or heels. Now is the time to focus on comfort.
• Avoid back twisting movements such as racket
games or housework like mopping or vacuuming
• Bend from knees when lifting things
• Avoid putting on too many kilos - it just brings
its own load of problems.
