Stretch daily – Stretching can help to improve the flexibility in your back muscles and reduce any potential pain.
Get adequate rest – When your body is tired and overworked, it can be more prone to pain and inflammation.

Easy Healthy Habits to Add to Your Day
Adding small, healthy habits into your day is an easy way to take better care of your body and improve your overall health. Here are three simple yet effective ways you can start taking care of yourself, reducing strain on your back and improving flexibility:
• Take short walking breaks. A 10-minute walk can help to release tension and stretch out your spine, reducing any potential pain.
• Drink plenty of water – Dehydration can cause increased muscle tightness which may lead to more severe pain. Make sure you drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
• Sleep on your back – It may be difficult to adjust to sleeping on your back, but it can reduce pressure on your spine and help you wake up feeling more rested. Invest in a good quality mattress and pillow that will provide you with the right amount of support.
