Holiday Spine Survival: Parties, Travel, and Packing Boxes

Holidays stack sitting, lifting, and stress. A little structure keeps your back out of the naughty list. Here’s the quick combo: micro-movement, sensible lifts, and recovery that fits between events.

Micro-Movement Menu

  • Every hour: 60–90 seconds—chin tucks x 6, thoracic extension x 6, 10 marching steps.
  • Travel: stand at gates, walk during calls, hip flexor stretch at the hotel.

Gift & Decor Lifts

  • Hinge, hug, and breathe out on effort.
  • Team carry trees and awkward boxes.
  • Stage wrapping at counter height—no floor marathons.

Recovery Snacks

  • 2–3 minutes of bridges and dead bugs before bed.
  • Walks after heavier meals; hydrate early and often.

Dr. Edward Komberg: “Keep the rituals, add the resets. Your spine will celebrate too.”
