3 Tips to Prevent Gardening-Related Back Pain

1. Avoid Prolonged Bending
Repeated forward bending is one of the biggest causes of gardening-related back pain. Try:
• Using a kneeling pad or garden stool
• Bringing your work closer to waist height when possible
• Changing positions every 15-20 minutes

2. Lift Smarter
Heavy bags of soil, mulch, and pots can quickly strain your back.

Remember:
• Bend through your hips and knees
• Keep loads close to your body
• Avoid twisting while carrying

3. Take Frequent Breaks
Many gardeners spend hours outside without realizing how much strain they're putting on their body.

Set a timer and:
• Stand up regularly
• Walk around
• Stretch your back and hips

Your garden will still be there after a short break.

Running injury spotlight - Stress Fractures and how to avoid them!

Stress fractures are small hairline fractures or severe bone bruising in the foot. These typically show up in the long bones of the foot called the Metatarsals. They are caused by repetitive high-impact forces on the foot from running or jumping.

Prevention strategies:
-Comfortable and supportive footwear.
-Training volume: don’t increase your training volume by more than 10-20% per week.
-Going from inside to outside? Decrease your training volume by 20-30% to start outside.

Outdoor running season is here! Here are Melissa’s Tips for a strong start to your season:
1) Start slow: especially when transitioning from the treadmill or indoor track to outdoors. Melissa recommends decreasing your volume by 20-30% when starting outside
2) Control the volume (total distance weekly): don’t increase more than 10-20% per week.
3) Intensity: control your intensity, start with intervals of higher intensity before working on maintaining steady state

How is the start of your outdoor training season going?
