Back Pain

✨How spooky 👻 is your back pain?✨ In honor of National Physical Therapy Month and Halloween coming up, here is a demo of how lifting mechanics affects back health featuring Mr. Albert Spinestein! First look at Mr. Spinestein lifting incorrectly. Notice how much pressure is on his spine when it gaps if he doesn’t use his legs. All the work and pressure goes to his spine since his back muscles are mostly lifting the load! Repetitive lifting like this over time can lead to degeneration of the spine, tight/sore muscles due to overuse and chronic low back pain. When he lifts with his legs there is much less gapping/pressure on his spine due to larger muscle groups in the legs moving the load. It’s much more efficient to lift this way as well! Just a reminder, nothing is scarier than low back pain during Halloween! 🎃 #backpain #backpainrelief #wellness #physicaltherapy #choosept
