We’re excited to share a quick and practical video from our Health Essentials series: “How to Bend and Lift.” This short clip offers simple, effective tips on lifting objects safely—especially helpful if you're managing back pain, recovering from an injury, or simply aiming to prevent everyday strain.
Why this video is worth your time:

Bonus tips for safer lifting:
- Plan ahead: Know what you’re lifting and ensure you have clear, stable footing
- Use your legs, not your back: Bend at your knees and hips while keeping your back straight
- Keep loads close to your body: This reduces strain on your spine
- Avoid twisting: Move your feet instead of twisting your torso
- Ask for help if needed: Heavy or awkward items may require assistance
