Travel tips

If you fly

Flying after back surgery can be quick and convenient and doesn’t require packing your patience. To ease your concerns, we’ve put together a list of travel tips to help get you ready for takeoff. Keep this list handy as you depart from a life of chronic pain and soar into the active lifestyle you once left behind.

• Get up, move around and stretch. Sitting in the same position on a long flight can cause sore muscles and stiffness. Try getting up midflight and walking the aisles.
• Stay hydrated. Flying can cause dehydration so remember to drink plenty of water before you feel thirsty.
• Dress in loose-fitting clothing.
