How to deal with back pain

• If you have back pain, see an osteopath sooner rather than later
• Hours in one position can cause problems – avoid ‘computer hump’
• During repetitive tasks, vary your rhythm and take frequent breaks
• Adjust car seats and, on long journeys, take regular breaks to stretch
• Pace yourself with heavy work like gardening – don’t ‘risk a disc’
• Watch children’s posture – they shouldn’t carry bags on one shoulder
• During pregnancy, see an osteopath to help your body adjust to changes
• Avoid strain when lifting (particularly small children and shopping)
• Take regular exercise – your osteopath can help you find what’s right for you
• If symptoms do not clear up within a few days, consult your osteopath for advice and treatment
• If it hurts, don’t do it!
