Give Your Back the Support It Needs

  • Always think before you lift. Bend your knees both when picking objects up and when setting them down.

  • Avoid twisting, bending at the waist, and excessive reaching while handling heavy objects.

  • Ease into physically demanding tasks. Change your posture frequently and don’t overdo it.

  • When standing for long periods, place one foot on a low stool to reduce stress on your back.
