Sore Back After Pre-New Year Cleaning? Herbalgy's "Wellness Declutter" Method Shares 3 Tips to Sweep Away Pain for a Light, Energetic New Year
HONG KONG, Feb. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As Lunar New Year approaches, many households dive into their annual deep cleaning, hoping to start the year in a fresh, orderly environment. However, intensive cleaning in a short period—repeated bending, squatting, kneeling, or lifting, can quickly lead to stiff shoulders, sore backs, and general discomfort, sometimes to the point of spoiling holiday enjoyment. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, such discomfort often stems from "tendon-muscle strain" and "qi stagnation and blood stasis." With proper preparation, correct posture, and post-activity care, deep cleaning can become both eco-conscious and body-friendly.

Improper force may also disrupt the smooth flow of Qi and blood through the meridians, causing soreness, numbness, or swelling. Professor Wong Tin-Chee, founder of Herbalgy, adds: "TCM emphasizes addressing root causes and harmonizing Qi and blood. Pain is the body's signal, when flow is blocked, discomfort arises; when energy circulates freely, the body naturally heals." To prevent injury and maximize wellness during cleaning, Herbalgy recommends following these three steps:1. Warm-Up & Activate | Awaken Muscles, Prevent Strain Spend 5 - 10 minutes on dynamic stretches, rotating wrists and ankles, gently moving the neck and shoulders, and mobilizing joints. A proper warm-up enhances muscle elasticity and flexibility, reducing the risk of sudden strains.2. Master Your Posture | Work Smarter, Not Harder Rotate tasks every 30 minutes to avoid fatigue from static positions. Bend your knees instead of your waist: squat to pick up low items or clean floors, keeping the back straight and using leg strength to support your movements. Use a step stool for high surfaces: avoid overreaching or craning your neck. Keep heavy objects close and push or pull with your entire body, not just your arms or back. 3. Soothe & Recover | Relax Muscles, Release Fatigue Recovery is crucial. After cleaning, apply a warm compress for 15 minutes to promote circulation. Gently acupressure points like Hegu (between thumb and index finger) and Weizhong (back of the knee) can relieve tension. For enhanced relief, integrate Herbalgy's targeted pain management products into your routine.
