Protect your back by perfecting your lifting technique

Posted on December 1, 2021 by Steffen Toates • 0 Comments

Go on most manual handling courses and you will probably hear the phrase “lift with your knees and not your back”. However, although lifting in this way is sparing on the spine, it greatly increases the load on your knees.

“I first attended due to pain in my lower back that I had had for over a year. It was my last resource, as I had tried a lot of things before but it was definitely the best thing for me. I felt listened to and taken seriously and I’m now more or less pain free. I can now do all the things I like again, like dancing and walking. That’s just great!
