One of the commonest reasons behind an intolerable back is wrong lifting, especially when lifting something heavy. All of those folk who have told you to lift with your legs knew what they were talking about. When picking up something, bend at the knees, take the object you want to pick up in your hands and rise up, letting your legs do the majority of the work. And, if you have got to lift something really heavy, don’t try and do it alone. Get as many extra people as you need to carry the object comfortably. Not only will this protect your back, this will forestall lots of other mishaps, like dropping and damaging an expensive item.

When it comes to relieving or avoiding back stiffness, making some straightforward life changes, and taking some preventative measures, can make all the difference.
