Checklist to Pain-Free Holiday Travels in New Fairfield CT
Holiday travel season is in full swing in New Fairfield, CT—and whether you’re off to see family or headed for a luxury escape, your body could use some pre-trip prep. Long hours in cars or planes can strain your spine, cause stiffness, and lead to unnecessary aches. Use our quick checklist to stay pain-free from departure to return.
Start Right
Think of travel like a workout: you need to warm up and cool down. Stretch before you leave, and when you arrive, take a short brisk walk to reawaken your legs and back muscles.
Tips for Car Travel
- Adjust your seat to sit close to the wheel with knees slightly above your hips.
- Add back support if your car seat lacks lumbar structure—especially between ribs and waist.
- Flex your feet and tighten calves, thighs, and glutes while seated to keep circulation moving.
- Alternate hand positions (2/7 o’clock and 10/5 o’clock) to reduce strain.
- Don’t grip the wheel too tightly—this can fatigue your arms and wrists.
- Rest your eyes often by changing focus, but keep your attention on the road.
- Stop every 1–2 hours to stretch and walk for a few minutes.
Tips for Air Travel
- Use rolled-up towels to support the natural spinal curve and neck while seated.
- Check any bag heavier than 5–10% of your body weight. Lift carefully—don’t twist!
- To store under-seat bags, sit down and push them in—don’t force them while standing.
- Move frequently in your seat: massage legs, stretch, elevate feet with a small bag.
- Avoid cold drafts from overhead vents that can cause neck tension.
Traveling with Kids
- Always use age-appropriate car seats, positioned rear-facing when needed.
- Avoid placing car seats near airbags, and secure them firmly at a 45° angle.
- On flights, ask if you can use a car seat for added safety.
