Best Lower Back Pain Relief Device When You Are Flying

I have no medical issue with my lower back. No osteoarthritis. No bulging disc. No nothing. But I always suffer from bad lower back pain whenever I have to sit on a badly shaped seat. It’s horrible. Especially when you are flying overseas for hours.

A humble-looking inflatable beach ball just like this works like a magic when you are flying or sitting inside a car. It costs between $1 and $3 at toy shops. Seats in the airplane and cars are usually badly designed and you can’t maintain natural curve of the spine without some kind of support.

The beauty of a beach ball is that you can make it very small when carrying it and when it’s used properly it fits any shape of lower back and the seat you are sitting on. All you have to do when you want to use is inflate it with two or three breaths and place it between your lower back and the back rest or your seat. I wouldn’t fly anywhere or drive anywhere without it.

I used to use a rolled towel when I was flying but it’s just too bulky and heavy to carry with me all the way to the destination. Then I decided not to take the rolled towel and instead tried an empty water bottle after drinking it. It worked ok when flying. But when I got to the destination, as soon as I started driving a rental car, it failed. Just because of the badly designed car seat, my lower back ache was so bad I couldn’t keep sitting in the car for more than a few minutes.

The beach ball works wonder both when flying and driving.
