In skilled trades, back pain and joint diseases are a common problem. Heavy lifting and carrying puts a lot of strain on the back, and often incorrectly.

Five tips for a healthier back

We have collected some helpful tips against muscle pain. Ergonomics products for the back, so-called back support belts, should also be used as support for this work. These support the correct carrying and lifting and thus support the back muscles. By wearing back supports, pain during and after work is significantly reduced and absenteeism due to illness can be reduced.

Back protection is occupational protection

Back support belts are available in many different designs. The different models are precisely tailored to the corresponding activities and requirements. You can find a wide selection in the www.omniprotect.de shop.

Back protection tips:

  1. The most important thing is: keep moving. Even if you are in pain and would prefer to stay in bed, exercise in the pain-free room helps. Blood supply your body and thus actively help.
  2. Warm the painful area: It is best to place a damp cloth on the area and then a hot water bottle on top. The heat reaches the muscles so quickly!
  3. Treat yourself to a bath: After a stressful and exhausting day, a warming full bath can work wonders. Not only is the stress reduced, but the back is also supplied with blood. By the way, stress is one of the main reasons for back pain.
  4. A walk: As described above, keep moving. A walk helps and also reduces stress.
  5. If the pain persists: Consult a physiotherapist, who will help you with the appropriate massages and can also see whether you may have a faulty posture.

In any case, no one wants to live with such muscle pain for a long time, so take the initiative!
