Maintaining your yard can be a rewarding experience. It keeps your home looking great while ensuring that your trees, plants and other outdoor features stay healthy.
But yardwork can put you at risk for injury. Many patients report back, neck, shoulder, and leg pain when doing yardwork.
Knowing the 3 ways to prevent injury while doing yardwork helps you keep your home maintained all year round while supporting your long-term health.
Additionally, it’s important to learn how to properly hold and maneuver gardening equipment tools. If there is a strap in place, make sure you use it to reduce the load placed on the arms, shoulders, and back.
Change your body position and movements frequently to avoid repetitive stress injuries, and take breaks to give your muscles a rest.
These are 3 essential ways to prevent injury while doing yardwork. Warming up and using your body correctly prevents many injuries that physiotherapists often treat.
The right clothing and safety accessories provide an additional layer of protection from debris and other factors that lead to injury.
Keeping these in mind will help you get the most out of your yardwork and keep you and your home in top shape all year long.
