It is very common among men to keep their wallet in their back pocket. They are in a habit of keeping it there. While sitting on it while driving, working etc, it causes problems with the back, muscles, waist, bones, and sometimes even the nervous system.
When we sit with the wallet in our back pocket, we are indirectly forcing the body- especially the spine and pelvis out of the proper posture alignment. It can lead to severe lower back pain.
It not only attacks your spine, twisting it completely but also compresses the sciatic nerve. This nerve runs on each side of the spine down the back of each thigh all the way to the foot.
Moreover, when it is compressed it can cause inflammation, resulting in leg pain and numbness called sciatica. To avoid this, one should never keep their wallet in their back pocket if they drive any vehicle more than half and hour. One should make it a habit to keep one’s wallet in the front pocket.
Regular exercises like stretching to restore alignment and relax tense muscles can be of a great help.
