This holiday season, the Team at Stone Mountain wants to keep you safe when lifting those heavy boxes full of decorations! Follow these simple tips to protect your lower back this year:

*Keep a wide base of support. Your feet should be shoulder-width
apart, with one foot slightly ahead of the other (karate stance).
*Squat down, bending at the hips and knees only. If needed, put
one knee to the floor and your other knee in front of you, bent at a
right angle (half kneeling).
*Keep good posture. Look straight ahead, and keep your back
straight, your chest out, and your shoulders back. This helps keep
your upper back straight while having a slight arch in your lower
back.
*Slowly lift by straightening your hips and knees (not your back). *Keep your back straight, and don't twist as you lift.
*Hold the load as close to your body as possible, at the level of
your belly button.
*Use your feet to change direction, taking small steps.
*Lead with your hips as you change direction. Keep your shoulders
in line with your hips as you move.
*Set down your load carefully, squatting with the knees and hips
only.
