Gardening tips to get you started for the spring!

1. Avoid obstacle courses. Try to keep your pathway clear and pay attention to your feet to avoid stumbling/falling.
2. Practice good lifting techniques. Bend your knees, tighten your tummy and keep your back as straight as possible. Avoid twisting your body at all when your back is bent and especially when you are holding a bucket/can.
3. Distribute the load. Try carrying two lighter containers (eg milk bottles), one on each side of the body, rather than one heavy bucket to even out the load

Let's get to gardening without injury!

Unfortunately, this is not good news for your lower backs or your necks, as our bodies are not designed to maintain static sitting positions for long period ...

A break or a fracture means the same thing and there is no difference in severity. If you have broken a bone it will be managed according to which bone it is and the severity and position of the fracture.

You can easily demonstrate that your posture affects the amount of range that you have available for certain joints to work in e.g.: sit in a very slumped, C-curve position and try lifting both your arms straight up in front of you, you come to a stop.

It's looking like Paddington’s winter days are about to start getting a little warmer 🌞 — the perfect time to shake off the hibernation and get your body moving again. Gentle stretches, a walk up Latrobe Terrace, or a few minutes of backyard mobility can make a big difference 💪.
