Low Back

What is the proper lifting technique?

To best lift an object from the floor or a chair you want to remember a couple things.

  1. Bend at your hips and knees while keeping your back as straight as possible.
  2. Kneel on one knee or stagger your feet if space permits.
  3. Pull the object as close to your body as possible before lifting. Use the strength in your legs to stand up with the object.
