However, the problem is: If you sit in the car for a long time, your back can suffer a lot. Perhaps you've experienced this too: you get out of the car and feel downright stiff. You may even experience back pain, neck tension, pain in your shoulders or headaches. The reason for these complaints is often the sedentary and monotonous sitting in the car. Sitting in the same position for a long time puts a lot of strain on the intervertebral discs, back muscles and spine. But we can avoid a lot of this! As in other areas of life, ergonomics determine how relaxed we arrive at our destination! As Aktion Gesunder Rücken e. V., we have set ourselves the task of collecting information on healthy backs and ergonomics, summarising it in an understandable and everyday way and making the know-how accessible to everyone. Above all, we provide you with tips and recommendations for back-friendly behaviour: find out from us what you can do for your back - in your everyday life at home, at work or in your free time. This brochure contains our tips, recommendations and exercises for ergonomic and back-friendly driving. Lots of well-being and driving pleasure! Your
