How to lift properly

There are some easy rules that will reduce the strain on your back:-

1.     Always bend from your knees

2.    From a squatting position, lift the object

3.    Keep your back straight and hold the object close to the body, if possible.

This is one simple way to prevent back pain, yet is one of the most common causes of it.
