The time for summer travel is here! As exciting as traveling is, it also comes with some setbacks. From hauling luggage across the airport to sitting for hours at a time, traveling can be a real pain. Here are our tips to help relieve your travel-induced aches.
Stretching for Travel Pains
At Bird Chiropractic, we want to provide you pain relief. One of the best ways to do that is by incorporating yoga into your travel itinerary. Yoga is not only quiet and relaxing, it also stretches those parts of you that we usually stretch for you. It is a great and convenient solution that requires no equipment. Yoga gives you a calm, stretching exercise routine that you can do anywhere, anytime. It is the ultimate in traveling pain prevention and relief.
Incorporating Yoga into Your Travel
When most people think of yoga, they think of mats and heat, and sometimes even goats. But in reality, most yoga can be done alone, such as while on a trip, because it uses your body weight to keep muscles stretched, active, and toned. Our favorite stretching exercise comes from basic yoga since most people are able to participate. For example, if you were experiencing knee pain, we believe it to be essential to do yoga, as it works and stretches the muscles around your knees. This can include positions like lunges, child’s pose, or prone poses, like bug.
There are many yoga positions that can help with your tension, aches, or pains. It’s only a matter of finding out which positions help you specifically. What’s more, is that you can take this travel tip and change it as you need. Having custom yoga routines is very helpful in relieving your specific stress and pain.
