 Hi, I am Dr. Amrit Lal Mascranis, Consultant Spine Surgeon at Manipal Hospital, Millers Road. So the past two years have been extremely stressful for the homemakers. Homemakers have been the backbone of our family and because of the difficulties and the hardships that they face that we as a family are able to go through our professional lives comfortably. But they have paid a heavy toll during the pandemic time. There has been no help at home. So the homemakers have been feeling the strain of doing all the work around the house and that has led to a lot of cases of backache among homemakers. So it's time now for the homemakers to start rescheduling their life, redesigning their life, keeping the central theme of good back health. The spine is a very important structure of the body and if the spine is healthy then the whole person is healthy. So what homemakers need to do is to schedule at least one hour for their exercise, for doing back strengthening exercises for 20 minutes and at least walk for four kilometers every day. Also make sure that you maintain proper posture while doing the work at home. Don't bend forward and lift very heavy weights. Do not stress or strain yourself beyond your limit and make sure that you don't carry excess load. Distribute your work through the days so that it's not at one point of the day that you actually feel all the strain and also homemakers please take care of your bones by taking calcium every day and doing some amount of exercise. osteoporosis is a common problem among women and so make sure that you get yourself checked up with a bone density testing on a regular basis if you're above the age of 15.
