Have you ever felt stress or tension at work? Chances are good that you wouldn't have a pain or worry if you didn't. The reality is that people are often called on to do even more with fewer resources. They are faced with more responsibility and more deadlines to get their tasks done. The health of your spine may be at risk with these mounting pressures. But scientists have helped us learn that we have a defense against these mounting pressures. They have shown the importance of using the "Three R's" to help ease tension and reduce spine pain at work. Here are the three Rs:
Rest
This includes taking frequent breaks during the work hour. It also means choosing alternate activities to get your mind ready for a new job task. Activities include deep breathing, walking, napping, or exercising.
Relaxation
Take a load off. Lie back. Turn down the lights, and listen to your favorite music. Attempt to breathe slowly and deeply, allowing your abdomen to rise and fall rhythmically. Using visual imagery can also aid in relaxation. Try to visualize each muscle relaxing one after another.
Recovery
Our bodies need a chance to heal. Repeated and prolonged activities can take their toll if your body doesn't get a chance to recover. Recovery helps repair these sore and achy tissues along the way, keeping them healthy.
