Proper lifting techniques
As I mentioned in the last article you should always use proper lifting techniques. I thought I might list what those techniques are.
- Plan the lift carefullly and get help if you need it. Don’t try to be strongman.
- Place feet shoulder width apart. this provides a stable base.
- Keep the object close to your body. This increases stability so that you are not having to continuously reposition increasing your likelihood of injury.
- Tighten your stomach muscles. This helps to support your back.
- Lift with your legs. Leg muscles are much stronger than back muscles.____________________________________________
