This is the proper way to sit.

Proper way to sit

Whether you drive long hours to get to work or you are planning on going on a long ride for vacation, the way you sit in your car is important for your back support and health. At Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac in Kenosha, WI, we want to make sure that you know everything you need in order to learn the proper way to sit in a car to prevent back pain. This is not the proper way to sit in a car. For a few reasons. It happens to many of us. Long hours, traffic and long commutes can make us have poor posture as we sit in a car. We would like to share a few tips that will help your back in the long run. The first one is easy, simply don’t just slump in the car. A slumping or slouching position is definitely taxing on your back if sustained over long periods of time. So, how you should sit? Well, step in and lead with your hips. As you are getting inside your vehicle, bring your hips in and ensure that the hips go first and then let the rest of you follow. This will ensure that you are sitting on the back of your thighs and not on your tailbone. Now, after you have positioned yourself inside the vehicle, bring yourself forward or backwards in order to create the proper distance between you and the steering wheel. You can use a small blanket or a t-shirt in order to create extra support for your back. Place it right up into the region of your upper spine; this helps to create a natural position. If you can feel your neck, shoulders and lower back relaxed; it's doing its job. Now, you are ready to go on the road. Remember that for any more tips on how to take care of yourself and your family on the road, or to learn more about our inventory of new cars or services; keep in touch with our blog at Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac.
