Proper Lifting Techniques For The Holiday Season.

It’s the holiday season! Be sure to execute proper lifting techniques when retrieving and storing your holiday decorations:

1) Squat or kneel to reach an object below waist level, keeping the
hips and knees flexed.
2) Use your legs to lift, not your back. Keep your back in a neutral
position.
3) Keep the abdominal muscles tight to support your back
throughout the movement.
4) Keep the object as close to your body as possible to avoid
excessive strain.
5) When lifting/retrieving objects from overhead, use both arms.
