Uttarayan Safety Tips to Avoid Muscular Pain
Warm-Up Before Flying KitesPerform a light warm-up with stretches focusing on your neck, shoulders, back, and arms to prepare your muscles for prolonged activity.
Take Regular BreaksAvoid prolonged standing or awkward postures. Take short breaks every 30–40 minutes to relax your muscles.
Use Proper PostureStand with feet shoulder-width apart and avoid slouching or leaning excessively to prevent strain on your back and neck.
Stay HydratedDehydration can cause muscle fatigue. Drink plenty of water or electrolyte-rich fluids throughout the day.
Use Comfortable EquipmentEnsure your kite thread (manjha) and spool (firki) are easy to handle and lightweight to reduce strain on your hands and wrists.
Avoid Overhead Activities for Long DurationsProlonged overhead movements can strain your shoulders and neck. Alternate activities or change positions frequently.
Wear Comfortable FootwearChoose supportive footwear to avoid foot and leg pain from standing for extended periods.
Stretch After the DayPerform post-activity stretches to relax your muscles and improve flexibility.
Apply Heat or Ice PacksIf you experience muscle soreness, use a warm compress to relax the muscles or an ice pack to reduce inflammation.
Listen to Your BodyStop immediately if you feel discomfort or pain. Overexertion can lead to injuries.
Happy and safe Uttarayan! Keep flying high, but remember to take care of yourself. 🌞🪁
