Backache Educators should do back exercises daily

Particularly stressed: educators should do back exercises daily
Millions of people in Germany always suffer from back pain. In most cases the symptoms are muscular. Some professional groups are particularly burdened in their work. Educators are advised to do back exercises daily.
Do exercises for your back every day
Back pain can sometimes have psychological causes, but more than 80 percent of the complaints are according to experts muscular. Not infrequently, the professional activity is partly responsible. In some jobs, the risk of getting a backache is much higher than in others. For example, with educators who need to tie their shoes or lift them up. Health experts advise them to do at least ten minutes of daily exercises to strengthen the back.

Stretch arms in world champion pose
Anette Wahl-Wachendorf, Vice President of the Association of Plant and Factory Physicians, told the news agency dpa that simple positions with the Thera band - a sort of gymnastic band - are well suited for home use. It is recommended, for example, to stretch the arms in a world champion pose and then wrap the band with your fingers and pull it apart. The back should be straight. Ideally, employees can be shown several exercises for at home by the company doctor.

Special burdens for kindergarten teachers
Only recently did a study show that kindergarten teachers are ill more often than the average. The main reasons for the sick leave are mental disorders and diseases of the respiratory system, but also back problems are more common in them than in many other occupational groups. Your back has to do hard labor every day. But even if the burdens are high, not only the individual is required. The employer is also in demand and should set up day care centers for the baby. For example, small pedestals make sense, so that employees do not have to bend down to the floor to tie their shoes. Also recommended are cots with doors, because then the little ones do not have to be lifted out, but can rauskrabbeln themselves. (Ad)
