Chris Myers tips and advice on Gardener’s back care
Have you got the right Gardening Equipment?
Award winning gardeners, Chris Myers gives the following advice on Gardener’s back care, from his series, back care tips for Gardeners:
Moving plants and plant pots around the garden is a task that can put strain on your back and cause back pain, without the right gardening equipment. Dragging and hauling heavy pots or bags of compost around the garden can cause injury to the back.
To help prevent back injuries, use simple garden equipment where and whenever possible. Wheelbarrows, sack trolleys and hand carts are all the gardeners’ friend, when used properly they will reduce the risk of incorrect back use.
If you are really struggling and you don’t have the right garden equipment to hand, then get someone to help you lift heavy objects. Make sure they - as well as you - remember to ‘Bend Your Knees!!’
Chris’s Myers Story: For over 10 years I suffered with back pain. Generally striking after a particularly ard day’s work the pain could be unbearable with my resorting to taking strong anti-inflammatory relief and regular visits to the osteopath.
Since I discovered VertiBaX and tried the Heavy Task Core Lumbar Active Support VB121 my working life has totally changed- for the better.
A hard day’s graft used to be followed by a day of pain. Now I can do as much hard work as before but every day, and without the pain striking.
The great thing about the VertiBaX: Heavy Task Core Lumbar Active Support is that it cost me less than a trip to the osteopath, someone I am more than glad to see the BACK of!!
