Top Hip Tips for this Holiday Season!
Tip 1: Reduce Pain Whilst Standing
Try and reduce sway posture this holiday season (standing posture where people tend to lock their knees in and throw their hips too far forward). Instead, relieve pressure on your hips (and back) by bringing your weight back to be roughly two thirds on your heels and growing gently tall.
Tip 2: Reduce Pain Whilst Sitting
These holidays you might find yourself driving to visit family or friends, or just to take a break, attending plays, social occasions, meals and drinks out, but how can you make sitting a more pleasant experience these holidays? A supportive cushion might be the answer for you!
Tip 3: Reduce Pain Whilst Sleeping
As we all know, the holiday period can be a stressful and exhausting time for many of us, so getting enough sleep is imperative. However, sleeping may be where your hip and pelvic pain can bother you most. Knowing the appropriate strategies to sleep better and reduce hip pain can be vital this holiday season!
