June Wellness Tip
By Jen Milquet, Wellness Coordinator
With the weather getting nicer, we may be feeling more motivated to venture out. For some of us, this may mean taking a road trip to a favorite destination or maybe somewhere new! However, road trips for some of us can lead to stiffness and discomfort from sitting in the same position for hours in a car. While vacations are fun, we want to make sure we continue to take care of our bodies. During your drive, try to stop every 1-2 hours for quick stretch breaks. Below are a few simple stretches that, along with staying hydrated, can make a big difference in how you feel when you arrive at your destination!
Standing Backbends: Place hands on your lower back and gently lean backward to counteract the forward driving position.
Shoulder Rolls: Roll shoulders backward and forward to relieve upper back stiffness.
Chin Tucks: Gently tuck your chin towards your chest to stretch the back of your neck.
Side Bend: While seated reach your arm over to the opposite side and lean to the side. Repeat on the other side.
Hamstring Stretch: Place your heel on a bumper or curb and gently lean forward to release tension in your legs and lower back.
Seated Cat Cow: Slowly alternate rounding and arching your back. While arching your back pinch shoulder blades together for added stretch.
Ear to Shoulder: Keep your shoulders relaxed and slowly alternate bringing your ears toward the same side shoulder.
Applying these few tips will help to make your traveling in June pain free!
