Tips from Eilaji
Lifting everyday items is a common part of daily life, but poor lifting techniques can place unnecessary strain on your back, hips, and knees. Using controlled movements, keeping loads close to your body, and avoiding twisting can help make lifting more comfortable and reduce the risk of injury.
How to Lift Safely:
Stand close to the item before lifting to avoid reaching too far forward.
Bend your hips and knees as needed, keeping your back in a comfortable, controlled position.
Hold the item close to your body to reduce the effort required from your back and arms.
Rise steadily without jerking or holding your breath. Turn with your feet instead of twisting your back.
