Travel Shouldn’t be a Pain
November 13, 2008 | Permalink
Ever reached for your suitcase in the airport and felt that sharp back pain? If you have, you might expect an uncomfortable few days on the road. Road Warrior has some ideas that might make your business travel a little more comfortable.
For most back pain sufferers, applying heat or cold helps relieve the pain. If heat is your preference, here are some ideas. Put a damp hand towel in the microwave for 30 seconds, adding more time if necessary. Place the warm towel in a plastic bag and apply to the appropriate area for 15 to 20 minutes, rewarming the towel as needed.
If cold is your preferred treatment, stop by the corner grocery and pick up a couple of bags of frozen peas. Because they confirm to almost any shape, they deliver plenty of cold to just the right places. If you don’t want to head to the store, put a damp hand towel in a plastic bag in a freezer for 15 minutes. Then apply the bag to the painful spot.
Hopefully you are staying at an Extended Stay Hotel since all of our hotel rooms have both a microwave and a freezer. After all, making you as comfortable as possible is what Extended Stay Hotels are all about.
As always, you should seek the advice of your physician with any concerns you have regarding a medical condition, as this content is not intended to be a substitute for professional health or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
