Now I have no range of motion issues. Pain with my daily activities is gone. My shoulder is strengthened and the staff has been exceptional!”

Preventing back pain isn’t the only concern when we talk about proper lifting. Using the proper techniques for lifting and carrying awkward and/or heavy objects is about minimizing strain on the entire body.

When you get to where you’re going, set the item down just as you picked it up – but in reverse. You can just as easily injure yourself setting objects down as you can picking them up.
