Driving long distance can cause back pain. If your job involves long hours of driving or if you drive more than 30 minutes to work and more than 30 minutes from work you can develop back pain. Driving exposes your body to different forces that can cause pressure on your back. These forces include sudden break, vibration, acceleration and deceleration. Longer heavy goods drivers are exposed to a lot of vibration and consequently this group of drivers report more back pain.
Below are 8 tips to help prevent or alleviate back pain:
(1) Plan your journey. Knowing how long your journey will be, will help you to take regular breaks before the back pain begins.
(2) Take regular breaks and move around.
(3) Do back stretches before you begin a journey, during your journey take breaks and do stretches when safe and possible and after the journey do stretches.
