ELIMINATE YOUR PAIN
Kneel to Plant and Weed: Use knee pads or a kneeling mat to protect your knees. Stand up and move around every 10-15 minutes.Change
Your Hand and Foot Position Often: By switching foot position, when doing such tasks as raking and hoeing, you will avoid straining the muscles on one side of your body. By switching every few minutes you will actually be more efficient!Choose Good Tools: Be sure to select tools that are the right length and weight for you. Always use the right tool for the job.
When you're doing chores such as gardening, bend your upper spine and your middle spine slightly, keeping your chin up. Don't bend too far forward: it puts too much strain on your lower spine.These gardening tips are compliments of Dr. Michelle Mann of Mann Family Chiropractic
