Using Proper Lifting Techniques Reduces Back Injury During Moving
Using proper lifting techniques reduces back injury during moving by eliminating the extra stress put on your back from improper techniques. All of our Gainesville Movers use proper lifting techniques and we should because we are professional movers, but are you? Not using the proper lifting techniques can turn a healthy strong back into a lifetime of pain and agony. The first thing we teach our new movers is how to properly lift and hold items that are very heavy.
The difference between a properly executed lift and an improper one can be a difference in posture of only a few.degrees. Our Gainesville movers begin the lift by centering their feet about shoulder width apart. This will help you maintain maximum stability throughout the lift. You now want to squat down and get a firm grasp of the item to get lifted. You now want to straighten your spine so it is pointing straight up. Begin to lift upwards using only your legs while keeping your arms straight and flexed. If this technique is executed properly there will be minimal force applied to your back. This is how our bodies are designed to lift and you should never bend over at the waist. Gainesville Moving is one of many moving companies in Gainesville. Please use this as a guide for your next heavy lifting project.
