Suffering From Back Pain While Riding Your Two Wheeler

However, there’s a bigger price to pay! The two-wheelers available in India are not designed keeping in mind the comfort and convenience of the rider, leading to increased complaints about back, neck, and shoulder pain.

The poor design of the two-wheeler such as a sunken seat or upraised back seat makes the rider lean way too much in order to grip the handlebars. As it’s important to keep the back straight as much as possible, too much-leaning strains the upper back area which can even lead to spondylitis or frozen shoulder in the longer run.

Books or laptops, it’s common to see people carrying their bags on their shoulders while riding on their two-wheelers. While the weight of the bag might not look too much but carrying the load on your shoulder on a regular basis strains the back and shoulder causing musculoskeletal aches.

There is a reason why fathers keep reminding their kids to get their bikes and scooters serviced! Sometimes the damaged shock absorbers in the two-wheelers fail to protect the rider from constant shocks during the ride.These regular vibrations stress the lower back and the discs below them. Therefore, a silly negligence affects the lower back area and leads to serious issues later.

It is really important to strengthen your core in order to reduce the risk of developing back pain! While riding a two-wheeler, our core muscles are constantly under pressure so as to maintain the balance of the vehicle and keep the body upright. Therefore, it becomes impertinent to engage in regular back strengthening exercises to keep your muscles strong. Following a consistent yoga routine, that includes knee-to-chest stretch, lower back rotational stretch, shoulder blade squeeze, etc., helps keep a healthy core!

Do you love to go on long rides on your bike? Well first, make sure you sit right! The best way to avoid back pain while driving is to be more conscious of your posture. Before making a purchase, ensure that your two-wheeler does not strain your body as you reach for its handlebars, make sure that the seat of your bike and its footrest are adjusted to your comfort, and lastly, try to keep your back straight instead of leaning in continuously. A right posture is the best precaution for maintaining a healthy back.

If you have the habit of driving long-distance, be certain that you stop at regular intervals to stretch your back and shoulder. Traffic lights and long jams are also a great excuse to give your back a break! Some simple stretching exercising, such as touching the back of your seat while holding the handlebar with one of your hands or clasping your hands behind your head and swinging your arms side to side, help relieve the stress from your muscles.
