How can delivery drivers prevent lower back pain during long shifts?

Maintain proper posture while driving, use a good lumbar support cushion, adjust your seat ergonomically, and take short stretching breaks every few hours to decompress your spine and stretch tight muscles.

Yes, standing cat-cow, gentle spinal twists, hip flexor stretches (leaning against your vehicle), and standing hamstring stretches can be done in minutes during a stop to alleviate tension and improve flexibility.
