Are you flying for a business trip? Long hour of sitting or carrying heavy luggage can be a disaster to your back, leading to problems in your musculoskeletal system. Read the following tips to keep yourself protected from a back injury: Keep a proper posture while you are sitting - Get seated with your back straight and adjust your chair in the comfortable position. Feet should be perfectly resting on the floor and knees bent to 90-degree angle. The strain on the body should be reduced as much as possible. Provide the right support to the back - Airplane seats may be uncomfortable sometimes. Give your spine a natural position by placing a small cushion, towel or blanket behind your back. In addition to placing an object behind the back, keep your back in the reclined position to reduce pressure on your spine. Give movement to your body after a short period - Prolonged static position for long hours can stiffen your muscles and can have a negative impact on your spine
