Stretch and Go!
Trucking and back injuries – sitting behind the wheel for long periods of time can be a real pain in the back for truckers. It's important for all drivers who spend long periods of time on the road to remember that staying active is the best treatment for back pain. Take a break to stretch your lower back muscles and relieve muscle stiffness.
Strengthening your core is a great way to:
improve posture,
prevent lower back pain,
strengthen muscles and
improve flexibility.
*Before beginning any exercise program, be sure to consult your physician.
