Comfortable Mudik without Muscle Pain, Arrange the Right Sitting Position When in the Car

Dream - Lebaran is synonymous with mudik or returning home to the hometown. Everyone goes through it in different ways. Some take the train, plane, and some drive while enjoying moments with family on the journey.

Driving a car during the homecoming is certainly more tiring compared to taking a plane or train. Sahabat Dream also covers a longer distance and time when driving a car during the homecoming. It's no wonder that many people feel tired after reaching their destination. Actually, there are tricks that can be done to minimize muscle fatigue during the journey by car.

Although you will still feel tired after driving long distances, it can prevent excessive fatigue, especially when you have to be the driver. Check out tips from Medical Rehabilitation Specialist-Musculoskeletal, Dr. Ibrahim Agung for a more comfortable driving experience during the homecoming journey.

1. Make sure the sitting position is not too reclined.

Avoid sitting in a reclined position while driving a car. Make sure your seat can provide proper support for your neck to lower back to prevent easily feeling stiff. You also don't need to lean your body backward when you want to lean back.

"Make sure our seat supports the curvature from the neck, back, to the waist. Do not drive in a condition of leaning too much, instead we provide support at the neck. It may be upright but ergonomic to support the curvature of the spine."
"ujar Ibrahim." translates to "said Ibrahim."

2. Don't Bend or Stiffen Your Hands Too Much When Holding the Steering Wheel

If the shoulders, elbows, and wrists often hurt, maybe your steering wheel position needs to be adjusted.

"Do not drive too close (with the steering wheel position), so that the elbows are too bent or too high, causing the hands to be too high (stretched), resulting in complaints of shoulder pain."
"sarannya." translates to "his/her suggestion."

3. Do not turn your body and reach for items behind the chair.

Reaching for items located behind the seat can cause shoulder pain. This can also happen even if Sahabat Dream only reaches for something with their hand without turning their body. Ask for assistance from passengers inside the car or take a moment to stop so that the body can relax during the journey.
