BACK-SAVING TIPS FOR
THE OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST

By: Esther Gokhale

...during the long haul to your nearest national park, it's easy to strain your cervical spine (the vertebrae in your neck) by craning your neck forward to see the road.


Justin Bieber, in this photo, is demonstrating forward head-his ear is forward of his collar bones, and his chin is far in front of his sternum.

If you notice your head drifting out of alignment with the rest of your spine, a quick fix is to gently pull your chin in so it aligns above your sternum, and stretch the crown of your head - the part of the head that's home to many a cowlick - up towards the roof of the car.


You can even give your neck a little manual lengthening, lifting any ponytails or bulky hair accessories above the headrest so they don't force your head forward.

Once you've lengthened your neck, relax your head into alignment with the rest of your spine. It should be a smoother drive from here on out!
