Neck Pillow Store How To Lift Properly
Proper lifting techniques help avoid back pain
A back support belt or back brace is designed to help keep you aware of your lifting technique. That is why it is important to know and follow proper lifting techniques.How To Lift: Begin with your feet about shoulder width apart and one foot slightly ahead of the other. It is important to lower your body by bending your knees, never bend from the waist or twist while lifting. Let your powerful leg muscles do the work, not your weaker back muscles. Tighten your stomach muscles as you begin to move to an upright position. Keep the load close to your body and your back upright. Lift smoothly and ask for help. To place objects down, bend your knees and keep your back upright, reversing the procedures. |
