It's lovely to see the sun back in the sky, and from what we hear from some of our patients - gardening season has arrived 🌱...but mind your back!
If you are spending more time in the garden, planting, weeding and lifting, it can be rewarding but can also take a toll on your back if you’re not careful.
Common gardening injuries include lower back strain from bending or lifting, stiffness after long periods in one position, and shoulder or neck pain from repetitive movements
Tips to protect yourself include bending your knees (not your back), taking regular breaks, and using proper tools and supports if needed.
If you’re already feeling aches or pains, don’t ignore it. Early treatment can prevent a small issue from becoming a bigger problem. Physiotherapy can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and get you back enjoying the garden.
