Tips to Avoid Spinal Pain While Walking

2 BAD AND GOOD MOVES WHILE WALKING TO AVOID SPINAL PAIN:

• BAD MOVE: Forward Head Walk

Looking down at the ground directly in front of you while walking will pull you into this alignment. This bad move may simply be a habit, but it will tend to become exaggerated whenever you are tired, ill, depressed, cold or stressed. A depressed chest often occurs along with a forward head alignment. The sternum, which is the front bone of the chest, is in a relatively lowered position. This results in poor ventilation, and decreased endurance may result.
