Back pain is a common issue affecting over a third of U.S. adults, yet effective treatments are limited. A recent study analyzed numerous trials, emphasizing the importance of prevention. Experts advise against the 'B.L.T.' maneuver—bending, lifting, and twisting simultaneously—as it increases the risk of injury. Instead, they recommend separating these actions, keeping feet planted, lifting with the legs, and keeping heavier items close to the body to minimize strain. These practices can help reduce the likelihood of back pain in daily activities.
When lifting an object, make sure both feet are planted and your weight is evenly distributed... lift from your legs instead of your arms and back.
Doing all three actions at once... maximizes the stress on the disc, making it more likely to rupture.
