Spring cleanup season is here—and so is back pain.
Every year we see a spike in injuries from:
🌿 Mulching
🍂 Raking
🪨 Lifting bags/soil
The biggest mistakes?
❌ Twisting while lifting
❌ Trying to do everything in one day
❌ Jumping in without warming up
✅ Simple fixes:
– Bend through your hips and knees
– Keep what you’re lifting close to your body
– Take breaks (your body isn’t in “summer shape” yet)
– Do a quick warm-up before you start
A little preparation now can save you weeks of pain later.
