1. Perform exercises, walk or do gymnastics in the pool. It is also good to spend a few minutes practicing specific exercises for the lumbar. On the other hand, sports that involve over-stress should be avoided.

2. Walk with your back straight and your head elevated. In many cases, one usually walks with a hunched back, carrying the weight of the shoulders forward. Nor should we abuse the high- heeled shoes or the heavy bags, which carry the weight on a single side of our body.

3. Take care of the posture while you sleep. The best posture is to sleep on your back, placing one pillow under your knees and another under your lower back. If it is very uncomfortable, you can sleep half-way, with your knees bent and a pillow not too high. Also, the mattress should be in good condition.

4. Watch the weight. Being overweight causes more tension in the muscles of the back. In the case of pregnant women, there are specific girdles to relieve discomfort.

5. Do not neglect the posture in front of the computer. The top of the screen should be at the level of our eyes. The back should be supported on the back and feet, on the floor. An adaptable chair, a footrest or a small cushion can be very useful.

6. Bend your knees and keep your back straight for weight. When bending down, it is not good to lean your back. If this type of movement is frequently repeated, it may be advisable to use a protective girdle.

7. Flee from repetitive motions. Repeated gestures constantly overload specific areas of the musculature. If it is mandatory to perform them, it is essential to rest for stretching, changing posture or walking a little.

8. Avoid total rest. If you suffer from this type of pain, you should live a normal life, without lifting weights or making sudden movements. It is advisable to exercise moderately. Staying in bed is recommended only at the beginning if the pain is severe. In any case, you should change your posture every two hours.

9. Apply heat. The source of the pain is usually muscular so that the thermal therapy helps to relax the area. It can be applied in twenty-minute sessions, either with an electric blanket or hot water bags. The massage or application of ultrasound may also be desirable to relieve pain.

10. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about the use of analgesics and anti-inflammatories to relieve pain, or about the possibility of taking muscle relaxants, if the pain is severe and as long as its use does not exceed the week.
