Autumn gardening is a lovely way to enjoy the fresh air, but bulb planting, lifting and clearing leaves can sometimes leave your back feeling worse for wear. 🍂
Our simple tips for gardening more comfortably:
🌿 Follow the 20-minute posture rule: change position or take a short break regularly.
🌿 Choose long-handled tools where possible, so you can work without bending or stretching too far.
🌿 Rotate tasks regularly so you don’t spend too long doing one thing.
Take your time, avoid lifting more than you comfortably can and listen to your body. If gardening has left you with ongoing back pain or stiffness, our friendly team is here to help.
