People who drive often have this kind of trouble: after driving for a long time, the neck will be sore. And if you don’t pay attention, you will be entangled in cervical spondylosis after a long time. Especially for online taxi and taxi drivers, who drive longer than the average person, the chance of suffering from cervical spondylosis is greatly increased.
1. Standardize sitting posture and engage in appropriate activities
When driving, the sitting posture should be kept standard: raise your chest, keep your chest and abdomen intermittently, and do not bow and lean forward. When parking and resting, you can learn some massage movements and move your neck and shoulders:
1. Cross your fingers, place them behind your neck, and rub them left and right to relax your neck.
2. Slowly shake your head and turn 5-10 times clockwise and counterclockwise.
3. Shrug your shoulders (keep your neck still), move your neck and shoulders, relax your tendons and promote blood circulation: raise your head and raise your chest, look ahead, put your arms on both sides to droop naturally, then shrug your shoulders up as much as possible at the same time, pause for 2 seconds, and then sink hard at the same time.
2. Adjust the seat in time
At present, the height of most car headrests can be adjusted, so be sure to adjust the headrest to the position opposite the back of the head. This position is the most suitable. You can clearly observe the road conditions without stretching your neck or nodding, and the back can be fully attached to the backrest.
3. Add a low-height pillow
If you feel that the headrest and backrest cannot support the neck, you can add a small pillow under the headrest and backrest.
