Rocking and other ways a person can keep his or her back healthy

RockerMama, the creators of the Ready Rocker—a portable rocking device that helps new mothers rock themselves and their babies to rest and relaxation—puts health above all else. In fact, the company has shared helpful tips through its series of blogs on the health benefits of rocking.

For this blog, RockerMama sheds light not just on rocking, but on the other ways people can keep their backs and spines healthy.

Rocking

The gentle act of rocking is a great way to keep one’s back healthy. It promotes better breathing, blood circulation, and sleep. It also relieves a great deal of tension from back muscles that have been overused and vertebrae discs that have been rubbing against one another.

Keeping proper posture

Since people use their backs in one way or another in almost everything they do, it’s important to keep proper posture, or a straight back. Slouching promotes an unnatural position of the spine and can lead to more serious issues later on in life. Whether it’s picking up groceries from the floor or lifting weights at the gym, people should always be mindful of their backs.

Sitting properly

Much like rocking, people often ignore the significance of a proper sitting posture. This is incredibly important for employees in offices who sit for almost a third of the day. Chairs should be ergonomically sound, to accommodate the correct sitting position.
