It’s that time of year, when we spend a lot of time in the yard or garden.  My book, “Knock Out Pain: Secrets to Maintaining A Healthy Back”, gives great details to help you prevent back pain during these activities.

Here are some of the tips:
1. Lifting - When lifting bags, keep your back straight and bend with your knees. Lift with your legs. Avoid bending at the waist.
2. Avoid twisting - When raking, avoid twisting your back and stand with your feet shoulder width apart, one foot in front of the other. Try to keep your back straight.
3. Take Breaks - Taking a postural break makes it less likely that injuries will occur.
4. Ice. - Use ice for sore muscles. Ice will Decrease muscle spasms. I hope these tips are helpful.
