Travelling is one of the most common hobbies we all participate in as humans. Going on a trip or vacation is fun, but the exhaustion and pain that comes with it can be unpleasant. At Buchanan Health Center in Leesburg, FL, we provide integrated medical services, including physical rehabilitation, chiropractic, and massage therapy, to ease the pains and aches after traveling. Here are some effective tips to help you avoid body pains, whether you're traveling by car or plane.

When Traveling by Plane

• To avoid straining the spine, sit in a proper position. Pillows may help protect the back, neck, and waist.
• Avoid carrying heavy hand luggage. Put your hand luggage at the side or top carrier to avoid holding it on your lap as it is likely to tire your legs.
• Do not sit directly under the air conditioner as the cool air causes your muscles to tense, causing pain in your body.
• Book your seat next to the aisle so that you can manage to stretch your legs occasionally.

When Traveling by Car

• Adjust your seat to suit your comfort. The best position is where your back and knees are not straining.
• Have breaks along the journey to enable you to stretch your legs and rest your entire body.
• To avoid the strain on your knees and legs when driving, use cruise control.
• Wear comfortable clothes and shoes to avoid strain on your body during the journey
• Change your grip on the steering wheel from time to time to relax your hands.
