How about something that will actually make you feel better too (and not just because it's free)? Yes again.
Here are a couple of free tips from me to you, I hope you take one or both on board.
Sore back when washing the dishes? Often the smallest forward tilt can bring on a great deal of back pain.
TIP: There are two quick and easy ways to help alleviate the pain
1. Stand close and lean your hips onto the bench. This will make your body bend more naturally at the hip rather than through the spine, relieving the pressure instantly.
2. Open up the cupboard door below the sink. There is often a small ledge which is the base of the cupboard. Rest one foot up on the ledge and keep the other on the floor. This can change the weight distribution through your back, and give sore and tired muscles a break.
Sore hand / wrist when squeezing the petrol pump trigger? It can take a few minutes of standing and squeezing to fill a car. And that can place a lot of strain on already sore fingers, hands and wrists.
TIP: You don't have to squeeze the trigger the whole time! See if the pump has a little attachment like below..
OR use petrol cap lid and slot it into the trigger space. The petrol will continue to fill automatically and you can just stand next to it with hands on hips or getting your discount voucher ready or if you are really keen, clean your windscreen while your car is getting filled! The petrol will stop flowing once the tank is full, so there is no risk of the petrol overflowing (in Australia anyway).
Hope you found those useful!
Until next time,
