back painDay in and day out, we find ourselves waking up to the same routine and doing the same things. While this isn’t an awful thing, since developing a schedule for yourself can actually be quite good, many of us are forming bad habits. These bad habits are different for everyone and can affect many of the things you do. Although they can seem minor, back pain over the course of a day, day to day, week by week, could drain your energy. 

Something that is commonly shared among many office workers is lower back pain, which can be caused by a combination of these bad habits including sitting at the desk for hours on end and not stretching enough during the day. 

Taking time out of the day to go and see a professional isn’t always everyone’s first option when dealing with back pain. Here are some at-home remedies you can try to follow to help reduce that aching back pain.

Yoga

There are a lot of people who are skeptical of going out and trying yoga. It’s completely understandable because some of the positions that are done are quite intimidating. However, don’t stress yourself out about it! There are many different techniques and levels to start with, so you won’t ever be starting with poses that are hard to achieve. Yoga is very beneficial to your body as a whole, not just your lower back. So if you want to work on all of your troubled areas, yoga is the way to go. Yoga is so much more accessible today with classes on Netflix, YouTube, and at the gym.  There are even different routines that will help you target pain in specific areas.

Essential Oils

Essential oils are a must when it comes to helping reduce pain as well as stress. There are so many different oils to choose from, so make sure you do some research on what ones you will need specifically. Lavender is very good for reducing aching and can be applied directly to the skin to help with any issues you may be experiencing. A super easy way to help keep your home an environment surrounded by essential oils is a diffuser. A diffuser allows you to choose an essential oil and then choose many different options regarding it, such as how often you want it to go off. Also, many of the diffusers are fun light-up colors that can really allow for a relaxing mood.

These at-home remedies, along with many others, can help reduce the pain you are getting from long days at the office. Of course, if pain persists, make sure to seek a professional who can lead you in the right direction to the right track in terms of relief.

Wouldn’t you like to be sending me a testimonial like this one?

“Janet is great. 30 minutes is perfect for a comprehensive massage with the focus on key spots. 15 minutes is good too if you have a focus area that needs to be addressed but not a lot of time. She always seems to hit the spot and provides relief where needed! An awesome benefit that my company provides at a reasonable fee.”
