How to Prevent Back Injuries Due to Improper Lifting
Many cases of back pain can be prevented with good habits for lifting and performing physical activities. Even the most basic activities can be detrimental for the lower back; because these activities are seemingly harmless, their risks can be overlooked and cause injury.
This video talks about how to keep your back healthy by changing the way you move during everyday activities.
