5 Tips to Beat Holiday Stress and Pain

The holidays are fast approaching. That means shopping, cooking, decorating, traveling, and making time for family. As exciting as this time of year is, all of the increased activity and added holiday stress can take a physical toll on your body.

Joint, hand, and back pain are all common this time of year. Whether your shoulder hurts from preparing for a cookie party, or you hurt your back hanging Christmas lights, we know when January rolls in you’ll be feeling a little more pain than usual.

To add to the problem, back pain often gets worse during the winter, and experts say holiday stress is the major culprit. Running around in traffic, trying to meet work deadlines to have time with the family, traveling long hours in the car or on a plane, and carrying heavy packages are all hard on your back. With so much to do, you can easily get run down this time of year.

If this sounds like you every year, pain may be interfering with your holiday plans and happiness.

Here are some tips to ease pain and help with holiday stress this season:

  1. Travel Smart:
    Don’t pack everything in one, big bag. Even though it may cost more, packing two smaller bags is safer and easier on you than one large suitcase. Choose a lightweight bag, and get help  lifting your carry-ons overhead. Traveling is hard enough on your body; don’t make it worse with bulky baggage.
  1. Stay Healthy
    Indulge in those special holiday treats, of course, but remember to still eat veggies and fruits, and drink plenty of water. Don’t stress about weight gain at the big family gathering or work holiday party, live a little!
