You can avoid many back problems by moving smartly.
- Bend and lift sensibly: When lifting something, lift from your legs. Bend through your legs and keep your back straight. A light object is best picked up using the 'golfer's lift'. Swing one leg backwards while bending forward.
- Lift heavy things with multiple people: Actually, we all know this. Yet we quickly dare to lift something heavy alone. But this way you strain your back and cause back pain.
