🌿 Gardening Season = Back Pain Season ☀️
After a long winter indoors, it’s tempting to spend hours in the garden the moment the sunshine appears 🌼
The problem? Your spine might not be quite as enthusiastic 😅
At this time of year we often see:
🔸 Lower back strains from bending and lifting
🔸 Sciatica flare-ups after digging or weeding
🔸 Neck and shoulder tension from repetitive tasks
🔸 Knee stiffness after prolonged crouching
💡 One of the biggest mistakes is trying to do everything in one day. Gradually building activity levels is far kinder on your back and joints.
Quick Gardening Tips 🌱
✔ Break tasks into shorter sessions
✔ Alternate positions regularly
✔ Avoid twisting while lifting
✔ Stretch gently afterwards
✔ Don’t ignore those early “warning twinges”
A little preparation now can help keep you active and enjoying the garden all summer long 🌸
