When we think of protecting fragile things, we usually picture storing breakables in a cabinet, or keeping them locked in a safe place where nothing can hurt them.
And while we only get one spine, the best way to protect it is much different. In fact, the best way to ensure your spine works properly for years to come is to keep it moving! You may even find it helps with back and neck pain or sore muscles.
For our spines, motion is medicine, and it's important to make sure your spine gets its daily dose of movement regularly. As many of us sit for work each day, consider this your reminder to get up and take that walk during your lunch break. Setting alarms every couple of hours on your phone can help remind you to stand up and move.
