Yard Work Tips to Remain Injury Free

🌿 Yard work season is back… and so are the aches & pains 😏

Raking, lifting soil bags, planting, trimming — it’s a great workout… but

not always a safe one for the body.

👉 Did you know?

Most spring injuries we see come from:

❌Lifting with your back instead of your legs

❌Twisting while carrying heavy loads

❌Doing too much, too fast after a long winter

The result? Low back pain, shoulder/neck strains, and sore knees that can stick around all summer.

💡 Quick tips to stay pain-free:

✔️ Warm up before you start (yes, even for yard work!)

✔️ Take breaks and switch tasks often

✔️ Keep loads close to your body when lifting

Already feeling sore? Don’t ignore it — early treatment can prevent a bigger injury.
