Keeping Your Back Healthy
Description
Most people experience back pain at some point in their lives. In fact, back pain is one of today's most common health problems. Normal aging and certain physically demanding occupations tend to cause spinal discs to wear out. Bad posture and poor movement patterns can speed up that process. This program describes the care and proper balance needed for lifting heavy objects. Providing clear instructions and showing model techniques to help avoid strain and injury, the video is especially relevant for seniors. Topics include the correct posture for proper support, large and small muscles, reaching and twisting, and easy-to-remember tips.
