Your Wallet Maybe Causing Your Pain

13/2/2015

PictureCarrying a wallet in your back pocket can cost you
Are you getting pain from your hip pocket?

Do you carry your wallet in your back pocket? Or maybe even your phone or
handkerchief?

It seems a convenient way to carry our items that we don't want to hold, but it can cause your body a lot of pain.

Sitting in the office all day, driving too and from work or even going out for dinner and sitting at a restaurant can all be contributing to the problem.

Below is an image that shows just what is happening to your bones when you sit down with something in your back pocket.
One side of your pelvis is lifted higher than the other, causing an abnormal tilt.

What sitting on your wallet can do to your body.
Not only is this bad for posture and bone structure, it can lead to:
  • Sciatic pain
  • Lower back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Nerve damage
  • Twisted pelvis.'
  • Piriformis Syndrome
There are many people out there who say that they have sat with things in their wallet for a long time with no pain. This is due to the surrounding muscles in the hip and lower back, compensating for the way the pelvis is rotating. Yes, you may feel fine, but your body is being put under immense stress to make up for the positions you place yourself in. Visiting your myotherapist for some corrective exercises can help to allow your body to get back in correct shape.

Now everyone has heard of a "pain in the back pocket" but the wallet is not the only culprit, sitting with anything thick in your  pocket such as a phone, handkerchief, cash, credit cards or even receipts have the ability to cause damage to your back

Most of this pain can be prevented by removing whatever is in your back pocket when you sit down, placing it in a secure drawer nearby, placing it in a jacket pocket instead or even placing it inside a small bag.
