Proper Lifting Techniques! ✨

STEPS TO: PROPER & IMPROPER LIFTING 🏋️‍♀️

PROPER LIFTING

1. Plan ahead:
Consider the weight, size, and shape of the object before lifting.

2. Stand close:
Position yourself close to the object to minimize reaching and stretching.

3. Bend at the knees:
Keep your back straight and bend at the knees to lift, using your leg muscles.

4. Keep the object close:
Hold the object close to your body to maintain balance and control.

5. Lift slowly and smoothly:
Avoid jerky movements and lift the object slowly and smoothly.

6. Use proper grip:
Use a firm, secure grip to hold the object.

IMPROPER LIFTING

1. Bending at the waist:
Bending at the waist can put strain on your back muscles and lead to injury.

2. Lifting with your back:
Using your back muscles to lift can lead to strain and injury.

3. Reaching and stretching:
Reaching and stretching to lift an object can cause loss of balance and control.

4. Twisting or turning:
Twisting or turning while lifting can put unnecessary strain on your back and muscles.

5. Lifting heavy objects alone:
Lifting heavy objects without assistance can increase the risk of injury.

6. Lifting with poor posture:
Lifting with poor posture can put strain on your muscles and lead to injury.

Sleeping Postures 💤

❌ A. Sleeping on the stomach allows the lumbar curve to collapse into increased lordosis.

✅ B. Placing a small pillow under the abdomen can support the lumbar curve.

❌ C. Sleeping on the side often causes the “upper” thigh to fall toward the other thigh and bed, placing a torque into the sacroiliac joint.

✅ D. Placing a pillow between the thighs supports the upper thigh.

❌ E. When sleeping on the back, tight hip flexor musculature can anteriorly tilt the pelvis, thereby increasing the lumbar lordosis.

✅ F. Placing a roll under the knees relieves the tension from the hip flexor musculature.
