Driving can be a pain, literally. Sitting for long periods of time can lead to cramps and aches that make it difficult to drive comfortably. A few changes in behavior can make a huge improvement in how you feel during and after your drive.
- Slide your pelvis backward on the seat, align it with your torso and pull your feet toward the seat. You may find you need to scoot your seat closer to the pedals to reach them.
- Relax your back by letting your ribs drop toward your pelvis rather than lifting your chest, and don't push your shoulders or head toward the back of your seat.
- Realign your shoulders whenever you're feeling achy by doing a shoulder roll with each side, up and down.
- Gently stretch your neck and head periodically, and keep your head aligned with your spine. Leaning your head too far forward or sticking your chin up can cause compression and discomfort.
