But you can do a lot to take care of your back and promote healing with this easy to follow routine: 1. Keep moving. Avoid sitting or standing in the same position for an extended period of time. Our spines like movement, so it’s a good idea to get up or change positions every 30 minutes to an hour. 2. Maintain good posture. When you’re standing, hold your head up high, shoulders back and your core muscles engaged. It’s really important to do the same thing when you’re sitting or working at the computer as well — head up, shoulders back and your stomach muscles working to support your back. Get a better chair, a back rest or adjust your computer monitor to help you avoid slouching or craning your neck forward. 3. Bend the right way. Learning the right way to bend, using your hips and knees instead of hinging from your lower back. This is good practice wherever you are, including lifting a child or a shopping bag. 4. Maintain neutral alignment
For long-term back health, try to remember to protect your back by holding it in a neutral position.
