Even down time can be a source of aches and pains. Do you often lie across the couch with your head turned toward the television? You’re setting yourself up for a sore neck – especially if you fall asleep in that position.
Solution: Maintain good posture even when you’re relaxing. Sit up straight on your couch by sitting all the way back on the couch and make sure your TV is not positioned too high.
I would guess that at one point or another you have had some type of pain or spasm in your back. This is a pretty safe assumption. I would bet that you have also had some kind of problem that was brought on by something very small. Let me give you an example. You wake up in the morning and walk into the bathroom and as you go to squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube you drop the lid on the floor. So you bend down to pick it up and zap, lightning sharp ache shoots up your spinal column and back down again. You try to stand up straight but for some reason it feels like someone is pressing against your back causing you to hunch over and making it impossible to straighten up.
