Did you know that improper lifting techniques can lead to serious spine injuries?As we count down to World Spine Day on October 16th, let’s focus on safe lifting habits to protect our spines! 🟒 Avoid Awkward Lifting: Twisting or bending your spine while lifting can cause strain and injury. Instead, keep your back straight and avoid sudden movements. πŸ”΅ Use Your Legs: Your legs are powerful! Bend your knees and squat down to lift objects, keeping the load close to your body. This reduces the stress on your spine and utilizes your leg muscles. 🟒 Assistive Devices & Help: For large or heavy objects, use tools like dollies or ask for help. Sharing the load can prevent overexertion and potential injuries. 🧐 Why It Matters: Research shows that proper lifting techniques can significantly reduce the risk of back pain and spinal injuries. Let’s make these habits a part of our daily routine for a healthier spine!
