World Spine Day - Take Aways

World Spine day.jpg

It was World Spine Day on 16 October. The 2019 message is Get Spine Active. But what does that mean?

It’s a great way of raising awareness about back health…

So, what tips are being shared?

  • Use the stairs more often – a great way to add a little cardio exercise into your day

  • Active doesn’t mean strenuous – don’t assume you have to be a regular gym visitor – walking rather than driving can be a great way to keep fit

  • Park further away – don’t always look for the space closest to the building

  • Be phone mobile – stand up or walk around while on the phone rather than sitting – stretching your spine and legs, and getting in a few extra steps

  • Mind and body – being active is just as good for your mood, stress levels and mental health as it is for your physical health
