Five helpful tips for you

BACK PAIN

According to a January 2024 survey of 11,086 adult women, 89% sometimes — or even often — experience back pain. The soreness can be caused by muscle tension, overuse, poor posture, or sudden movements, but fortunately there are several things you can do — both to prevent it and to relieve it if you find yourself standing (or lying) with back pain.

Keep going

Gentle activities such as walks and stretching exercises can relieve and improve blood circulation in the back. Studies show that early physical activity and movement can improve function and reduce pain if you are experiencing a back spasm.

Give the area warmth

Scientific studies show that heat therapy can be effective in reducing back soreness. Use a heating pad or a good warming roll-on on the affected area, preferably several times a day. The heat increases blood flow and relaxes the muscles, so in this way you not only relieve your discomfort, but may also help address the underlying cause of your pain.

Avoid further strain

To relieve soreness, it's important to give your back enough time to recover. Avoid heavy lifting, repetitive strain, and sudden movements that can worsen the condition.

Massage the area with magnesium

In addition to caring for the skin, magnesium can also play an important role in restoring the normal balance of cells in the muscles. For this reason, it can be a good idea to prevent or relieve tension by massaging the area with a high-concentration magnesium serum.

Prevent soreness

In cases of intense pain, as a last resort it may be necessary to combine the warming treatment with pain-relieving medication.

Once you've got your back under control, you can fortunately prevent being severely affected again. Make sure to keep moving, apply magnesium several times a week if you wish - and then use the warming roll-on every single time there is the slightest sign of trouble. For most people, that will be enough to keep the pain at bay - every time.
