Some tips to enjoy gardening this season.
Although many do not consider gardening a formidable activity, the reality is that gardening can result in as many injuries as a number of sports. One of the main contributing factors to gardening injuries is that many gardeners think of the activity as a casual afternoon of fun and therefore inadequately warm-up, stretch or prepare for the task at hand when they actually should (see Stretching Guide for Gardening).
In addition, repetitive tasks, as well as repetitive positioning such as sitting, kneeling or remaining bent over, go hand in hand with gardening. Both repetitive tasks and repetitive positioning are common causes that lead to injury.
