Good Morning!
Now that gardening season is in full swing for most of the country, doctors and emergency rooms will start seeing more and more gardening injuries. Most gardening injuries involve the back and knees, and are caused by awkward kneeling and bending. Here are some tips to keep yourself injury free!
1. Always bend at the knees and hips.
2. Never try and lift or move heavy things on your own
3. Be sure and move around every 30 minutes or so. Staying in the same position too long leads to strains and stiffness.
4. Avoid strenuous garden tasks in extreme heat, and when you are working, be sure to keep yourself hydrated.
5.Keep your tools sharpened and in good condition. Dull blades and damaged or worn equipment are dangerous.
