DEARBORN, MI, December 02, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- While preparing for the holiday season, remember to use proper lifting techniques.
1. Prepare a clear path to avoid awkward movements while carrying heavy objects.
2. While lifting keep your feet shoulder width apart to provide a solid base while you lift a heavy object.
3. When lifting, remember keep your back straight and bend with your knees.
4. Tighten your abdominal muscles before you lift to help protect your spine.
5. Hold items you are carrying close to your body to provide maximum strength and balance.
6. Get help! If you find yourself straining ask someone to help you lift.
According to Paul Bar, Physical Therapist, if you sustain a back injury with pain that lasts more than a few days or develop symptoms with pain radiating to the legs you should see your doctor.
Every patient must have a prescription for rehab from their physician. A patient has the choice to go where they know they will get the best treatment for their specific goals.
