Backs and Bleachers

As football season is about to be in full force, perhaps you are not looking forward to hours of sitting on uncomfortable bleachers that can lead to back pain. Here are some tips to help you this football season.

• Practice good posture: Sit with your back straight and shoulders back. Avoid straining one hip by keeping your weight balanced. Make sure your feet are always flat on the floor. Move frequently, switching positions every 30 minutes.
• Invest in a stadium seat: Look for a stadium seat that has plenty of cushion and a straight back.
• Visit the Chiropractor: If you have back pain caused by the bleachers, don't deny treatment. Save your back from the bleachers. Come to Vero for all your needs this football season!
