Save it for the fun stuff. If you find yourself troubled by muscle or joint pain, pull the shoulder strap of your seatbelt into the car with you as you go. Don t twist and strain to reach it once you re already seated. Once seated, check your posture. I know, I sound like your mother, but it s true.
Proper posture can prevent soreness later on, particularly for long trips.
If possible, carry a lumbar support cushion, rolled up hand towel or small pillow. These items can easily be used for support under the knees or as a foot rest. Likewise, bring a seat cushion for extra padding where you need it. Whatever s most comfortable for you. And always remember to adjust your head rest for maximum support, comfort and safety.
