It’s that time of year, when we spend a lot of time in the yard or garden. My book, “Knock Out Pain: Secrets to Maintaining A Healthy Back”, gives great details to help you prevent back pain during these activities.
Here are some of the tips:
1. Shoe wear - Yard work can put a lot of strain on your feet and legs. Good foot and arch supports can stop some of that strain from affecting your back.
2. Warm-up - Before you begin any tasks in the yard or garden, always take a few minutes to warm -up your muscles by doing some warm-up exercises. These include walking around the yard briskly for a few minutes or doing jumping jacks. Do a few back and hamstring stretches as well.
3. Drink Lots of Water - To help prevent muscle cramps, spasms and dehydration, adequate hydration will allow your muscles to work efficiently.
