Doctor's advice:

• To prevent back pain, the following rules should be followed: do not lift weights of more than 5 kg; everything you carry, keep it at chest level, press it to your body; you lift "from the floor", sitting down like a weightlifter; do not make sudden movements, especially turns of the body when leaning; keep your back straight; when carrying loads, try to evenly distribute the load on both hands. Use a cart, a bag or suitcases on wheels, backpacks on both shoulders to carry; if you often work at the computer, then the monitor should be opposite you, you should sit leaning on the back of the chair, the back should be straight, but somewhat relaxed; periodically take breaks from work for gymnastic warm-up; shoes without heels are as harmful as shoes with high heels. Correct selection - no higher than 5 cm; do not overcool, avoid stressful situations, they lead to spasm of the back muscles; get an orthopedic mattress, pillow, insoles, chair (for the selection of orthopedic products, you should contact a specialist); physical activity is mandatory, but the type of exercise (swimming pool/Pilates/Yevminov board, etc.) must be agreed with a neurologist or orthopedist based on your individual spine condition.
