Gardening should grow flowers, not back pain
If your weekend plans involve digging, planting, or weeding—take a few steps to protect your body before you head outside.
Here are 5 tips to help prevent injury while gardening:
🌱 Warm up first – A quick walk and some light stretching can prep your muscles and joints.
🌱 Lift with your legs, not your back – Keep items close to your body, bend your knees, and avoid twisting.
🌱 Switch positions often – Avoid staying hunched or kneeling too long—change it up every 10–15 minutes.
🌱 Use tools with long handles – This reduces strain on your back, shoulders, and wrists.
🌱 Listen to your body – If something feels tight, sore, or off, take a break and don’t push through pain.
If gardening is leaving you more sore than satisfied, we’re here to help.
