Tips for Car Travel

• Make as many stops as necessary to avoid fatigue and to stretch when joint stiffness begins to set in.
   
• At stoplights do exercises such as shoulder rolls, head tilts and neck stretches.
   
• Use a horseshoe pillow for head and neck support.
   
• Use a cervical collar for neck pain.
   
• Place a lumbar pillow behind you for added back support.
   
• Cushions are available to absorb vibrations or soften the seat for sore hips and backs.
   
• Consider using knee wedges to keep your knees higher than your hips to reduce pressure in this area.
   
• Use a cushioned seat belt to minimize shoulder discomfort.
   
• Install a sheepskin steering wheel cover to protect hand joints by allowing a looser grip.
   
• Install special wide-angle side and rear-view mirrors to increase your field of view without having to twist and turn in the driver's seat.
