According to Dr. Aaron Richardet, prolonged sitting can cause a build up of pressure in blood vessels in the lower legs which can lead to soreness in the legs. This can often be countered with stretching of muscles or contracting and relaxing the muscles. He also recommends warm up before getting into a car or on the plane, and cool down once you reach the destination. For example, taking a short, brisk walk to stretch your hamstring and calf muscles before and after a long trip can help prevent these problems.

Tips when traveling by car:

1. Adjust the steering wheel in such a way that one is as close as possible to it and comfortable at the same time.

2. Do not grip the steering wheel tightly with both the hands. Instead try loosening one while the other one is tight and alternate this position to avoid fatigue in the hand muscles and wrists.

3. Taking adequate breaks is highly recommended so that the passengers and the driver both get to move around freely to relax their muscles. One should never underestimate the potential consequence of fatigue and the distress that it would bring along to the muscles.

Tips when traveling by airplane:

1. When traveling by an airplane, a person should stand up during regular intervals and feel his or her “S” curve of the spine.

2. The back pain can be prevented by using a rolled-up pillow or blankets to maintain the curve of the spine.

3. All the bags carried should be less than 5 to 10 percent of the body weight. Lifting of heavy bags should be avoided at all costs to reduce stress on the back or neck.

4. When pushing the belongings under the seat, one must make sure not to push it with an awkward positioning of the legs since it can cause spasm in upper thighs or muscle strains in the lower back.

5. While sitting in the seat, one must always maintain an upright position. A person should remember to change his or her position between regular intervals to maintain steady blood flow.
