The Driver's Dilemma
Professional drivers -- taxi, truck, auto-rickshaw, and delivery drivers -- spend many hours seated in fixed positions, absorbing road vibrations. This combination is devastating for the spine, causing chronic back pain, neck stiffness, hip tightness, and nerve compression syndromes.
Common Conditions in Drivers
- Lumbar disc herniation and sciatica
- Cervical spondylosis and neck pain
- Hip flexor tightness and hip impingement
- Piriformis syndrome from sustained hip flexion
- Wrist and arm fatigue from steering
Physiotherapy Treatment
Our Faridabad physiotherapy clinic provides targeted treatment including spinal mobilisation, core stabilisation exercises, hip flexibility programmes, and postural correction strategies specifically designed for the demands of professional driving.
In-Car Ergonomics Advice
- Optimal seat adjustment: back straight, knees slightly below hip level
- Lumbar support positioning
- Mirror adjustments to minimise neck rotation
- Micro-break routine: 5-minute stretch every 2 hours
