What is gas pedal strain?
With such a long commute to and from work, I feel like I spend half of my life in my car. I’ve even started to notice new aches and pains in my body from sitting in the car so much. My coworker was saying that the strain on your legs from pushing the gas can actually cause discomfort. What is gas pedal strain?

Similar to tennis elbow and writer’s cramp, gas pedal strain can be caused by the repetitive motion of reaching for the gas pedal.
When your car becomes your second home, it’s no wonder that your body takes the brunt of it. With your foot constantly switching between the gas and brake with various degrees of pressure, you may start to notice some signs of muscular imbalances between your feet.
If you continue to experience the strain of your commutes, have your body assessed by a medical professional that can give you tips for treatment.
With all the time you spend on the road, you should ensure that your car is protected with the best car insurance and download the #1 rated
