Improper bending can put unnecessary strain on your lower back and contribute to muscle tightness, disc injuries, pinched nerves, and chronic back pain. In this episode, we explore why proper bending techniques matter and how everyday movements, such as picking up a box, tying your shoes, or lifting heavy objects, can affect your spinal health.
We also discuss the right way to bend and lift, including hinging at your hips, bending your knees, keeping your spine neutral, engaging your core, and holding objects close to your body. Learn about common bending mistakes to avoid and how daily stretching, core strengthening, supportive footwear, and regular chiropractic care may help support spinal health, flexibility, and mobility.
