Could your purse or handbag be causing pain Lift like this, not that! Hauling around a heavy bag isn't the only way to invite back pain and other woes. "Lifting any weight over 25 pounds has the potential to cause injury, especially if you're moving the object from a position below your knees to above your waist or holding it in front of your body,"Dr.Bautch says. Among the top triggers thatDrive patients to his office:Lifting kids or pets, placing or removing car seats, removing heavy packages from the car trunk, and carting gardening items.Here's how to avoid a trip to the doctor's office. 1.Act like an athlete.Before lifting anything heavy, take a cue from little leaguers and olympians and do a simple warmup.This is especially important first thing in the morning, when your ligaments
ristianlbtinaussures and tendons are tight, or if you've been sitting all day.Do some basic upperbody circles for a count of four. 2.Practice the twopoint lift.Get as close as possible to the

"If you always put the car seat in from the same direction or carry groceries on the same arm, break the pattern,"Dr.Bautch says. "You need this counterbalance to prevent the muscles from becoming overstretched. " 4.Don't floor it.Put grocery bags or parcels on a counter, not at your feet. "High is almost always better than low for lifting,"Dr.Bautch says. You're not the only one lugging too much stuff around.A recent study found that more than 60% of schoolkids carry a bag that exceeds 10% of their body weight.Those with the heaviest bags had a 50% greater risk of back pain, with girls more likely to experience problems than boys. "While backpacks are generally a more comfortable way to carry

"Kids, because they are still growing and developing, are especially at risk of injuries,"Which range from temporary aches and pains to lifelong complications such as scoliosis.So follow the same rules for your kid's bag as you do for your own:Limit its weight and size(Or switch to a wheeled version).If you notice that your child has to lean forward while walking, the backpack is too heavy.1357next
