Partying under pressure this Christmas?

Killer heels, bulky bags and badly fitting bras, just some of the strains we put on our bodies in the name of fashion. With the party season just round the corner this seasons ‘must haves’ could be tomorrow’s back aches.

Here are a few tips to keep you more flexible and pain free....

Keep Away From Killer Heels

Dancing the night away in sky scraper high heels can affect posture and your spine. The arch in the lower back becomes more exaggerated when wearing high heels, putting more strain on the lower back, which can cause aching or pain to arise. Always take a flat pair of pumps with you as a post party backup.

Give Bulky Bags The “Heave Ho”

That glam designer maxi-bag maybe big enough for all your party essentials but remember care should be taken when carrying heavy objects. Try to avoid cramming too much in as slinging a heavy bag over your shoulder can result in poor posture which can cause long term neck or back pain.

Buzz Off Badly Fitted Bras

Not only does it look unflattering under your glitzy party dress but also badly fitted bras can be unhealthy. A bra that does not give sufficient support can cause neck, back and shoulder pain. Regular bra fittings should be made, so why not fit one in when you’re doing you Christmas shopping?
