Backache-5

HOW TO PICK & LIFT?
One of the common day to day activities in every one's life is to pick up an object from the ground, be it a house wife lifting a utensil from the floor, a mother picking up a child or a worker in a factory lifting a packet. In all such situations, the back should not be bent with the knee kept straight.
While picking up an object from the ground, one should not bend forward, pickup the object & then straighten the back. This puts lot of stress on the lower back & cause backache. The correct way is to come close to the object, bend the knees, pick the object & stand up. When you carry the object from one place to another, keep it close to your body.
