Take care of your back…• And it will take care of you
– Exercise daily– Avoid Heavy Lifting– Get Help with heavy or bulky objects– Avoid twisting at the waist when carrying objects– Always watch where you’re going.– Practicing good lifting technique does not
enable you to lift more than you could before. It means that, whatever your individual capabilities, your chances of injury are reduced.
