How can I prevent this from happening? Back and knee problems are common with gardening. Consider how low you need to squat or bend in order to get to your flowers. Before starting, consider warming up your body with a short walk or stretch. Make sure you have lots of time, have supplies and equipment well organized and ready ... many injuries happen when people are rushing through an activity. Garden kneelers are useful as they have bars to hold onto while lowering yourself down. This helps to prevent strain on the knees and back. Simply sitting on a stool instead of kneeling or squatting helps. Invest in good tools that are ergonomically correct and well designed. Proper wheelbarrows or garden carts can take a load from place to place without strain. If you have to lift, keep the load close to you, use your legs and tighten your abdominals while breathing out. Avoid twisting - if it's too heavy, don't lift it. Take lots of breaks and change the activity and positions regularly ... rotate from sitting and standing if you can and avoid frequent bending over. Repetitive activities are one of the main causes of injury so change activity often. Make sure you stretch your shoulders, elbow, wrists and hands - lots of people over do gripping activities and get painful hands and arms. If it's a big job, get help... or if it's too much, hire help.. Talk to your physiotherapist for more ways to prevent injury.
