Here an article I came across for all travellers.
"How to 'ground’ back pain
Flying can be a pain in the neck and the back. We have some travel tips to avoid back pain from Dr. Todd Sinett, a chiropractor and author of The Truth About Back Pain.
1. Move around. As long as the seat belt sign is off, you can just stand in place and do some stretching.
2. Pack light. Do not overstuff your carry-on or shoulder bag, which can cause painful neck and shoulder injuries.
3. Pick your luggage for comfort and your particular needs.
4. Consider a backpack, but don’t overstuff it either.
5. Sit properly in your seat. It can save you a lot of backaches.
6. Support your lower back with a rolled blanket, sweat shirt or jacket.
7. Do some stretching exercises while standing in line at security or at the gate or waiting your turn for the plane’s restroom.
8. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. There is a link between tight clothing and back pain.
9. Bring your own healthy snacks.
10. Chill out. More than 80 percent of travelers consider flying stressful, which is the No. 1 factor when it comes to back pain."
I hope youi find this of interest, let me have your comments.
