It is estimated that 8 out of 10 Americans will have a back and play. PREVENTION Protecting your back around the clock is your best insurance against back iiyury. You are the only one whos around to do it, both when youre on a job and off the job. 1. Keep your back in mind. Its amazing how often people lift improperly. 2. Think ahead. An important change you can make is to lift with your mind before you lift with your back. 3. Remember, the abdominal muscles give the back its support, with help from the muscles and ligaments that run along the spinal column. A healthy back is properly aligned and supported by strong muscles. ERGONOMICS AND SAFE LIFTING TRAINING Most back injuries result from improper lifting. One example is twisting. Keep your back upright to shift weight onto the powerful leg muscles and reduce the lever effect. HOW TO LIFT PROPERLY Get a firm footing. Keep your feet apart for a stable base; point toesout. Bend your knees. Dont bend at the waist. Keep the principles of leverage in mind at all times. Dont do more work than you have to. Tighten stomach muscles. Abdominal muscles support your spine when you lift, offsetting the force of the load. lYain muscle groups to work together. Lift with your legs. Let your powerful leg muscles do the work of lifting, not your weaker back farther a potbelly juts out in front, the more force it exerts on the back. 3. Exercise. Start a regular physical exercise program to condition your muscles. Strengthen the muscles in the back, upper legs, and especially the v i abdomen to increase your spines support. Strong abdominal muscles help reduce swayback. Increase your stretching routine while youre building strength. Tight, shortened muscles can upset muscular balance, which increases the chances of back iiyury. Stretching exercises make muscles more flexible and motion easier.
