BACK-CARE TIPS

1 Enroll in a prenatal exercise class that focuses on building the strength and suppleness of the pregnant body.

2 Change your environment to ease the workload on your back.

3 Think posture, posture and posture all the time.

4 Massage is a wonderful way to ease pain and tension in an aching back.

5 Use heat to ease spasm.

6 Visit an osteopath chiropractor or physiotherapist for treatments if the pain is intolerable.

7 Maintain excellent nutrition. This will boost your energy levels.

8 Lastly, don’t take your back for granted. It is the coat hanger that your body clings to, so take good care of it. It cannot be replaced.
