When seated, stand up every 30 minutes and stretch your shoulder blades back
Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees
Do not lie straight down or sit straight up; rather, lie down and sit up via side-lying.
Avoid high heels, large heavy purses and briefcases
When bending and lifting, use knees and tuck in abdominals
When lifting, keep object as close to body as possible
Avoid bending forward at waist, particularly while twisting
Avoid double leg raise exercises, rather lift only one leg at a time when lying on the back or the stomach
Use a chair that swivels rather than twisting with your lower back constantly
Flip or rotate your mattress every 3-6 months and replace it after 10-15 years, especially if it’s soft, lumpy, or you wake up with a sore back.
