	To avoid aches and pains don’t sit in one place or position for long periods of time. Take breaks from driving, whenever possible, to stretch and relieve tension in your neck, shoulders, back and legs. A good rule is to stop every two hours. Proper back support to fit the natural s-shape of your spine can minimize back aches.
