Don't forget proper lifting techniques while out last minute holiday shopping

12/22/2014

 
To prevent back injury this holiday season, here are a few rules to follow when lifting all those shopping items:


  • Stand close to the object you want to lift.
  • With your feet shoulder width apart, bend you knees and keep your back straight, squatting down to the object.
  • when lifting, keep the object close to your body.
  • if you wish to turn, pivot, never twist your body while carrying the object.
  • if lowering the object, bend your knees again, don't bend at the waist.
