Bancroft & Sons Blog—How to Avoid Back Pain While Driving

          Truck drivers drive more than just about anyone, and with that comes back pain & discomfort. Common complaints from truck drivers include:

•            Dull pain throughout the entire back.
•                Soreness in the upper back & neck.
•                Sharp pains while sitting.

We’ve put together a list of helpful tips & exercises to keep you feeling good, so you can perform your best!

• Don’t sit with items in your pockets.

Sitting on your wallet, keys or other items can cause back pain due to sitting on an uneven surface. Find a safe place for your personal items before you start driving.

• Take breaks to move around

It’s important to get up and move around every couple of hours. Pull over to stretch, or do some yoga to alleviate your back pain!

• Eat healthy foods!
