🏋️ ARE YOU LIFTING CORRECTLY? TIPS FOR PROTECTING YOUR BACK! 🦴
💪 Strength is great—but keeping your back safe is even better!
Whether you’re lifting weights at the gym, moving furniture or picking up a heavy box, how you lift matters.
🌟 LIFT SMARTER:
🦵 Use Your Legs — Bend at your hips and knees instead of rounding your back.
📦 Keep It Close — Hold the object close to your body to reduce strain.
🦴 Keep Your Spine Controlled — Avoid excessive rounding or arching while lifting.
🔄 Don’t Twist & Lift — Move your feet and turn your whole body instead of twisting under a heavy load.
💪 Brace Your Core — Create abdominal tension before and during the lift.
🚨 KNOW YOUR LIMITS — If something is too heavy or awkward, get help!
Already dealing with back pain, stiffness or limited movement? Dr. Newsome can evaluate your musculoskeletal function and help determine what may be contributing to your discomfort.
💪 LIFT STRONG. LIFT SMART. PROTECT YOUR BACK! 🦴
