Avoid twisting your trunk to prevent back injuries. 3. Safety First You can take simple steps to ensure you are safe while hanging lights or putting up the tree.

Back pain!
As we prep for our holiday season, it’s essential to understand ways to prevent back injuries from occurring. The Physiotherapy Center LTD has put together some tips for taking care of your health during this busy time of year! Tips for avoiding back pain With all the decorating and heavy lifting that the holiday season brings, it’s easy to pull a muscle in your back. You might not even notice until days after the injury occurred!
Here are three tips for avoiding back pain this season.
1. Warm-up and stretch first! Don’t just jump out of bed and begin setting out fake reindeer and decking the halls! Stretch your body out a little bit. Aim to at least be up and moving for about 45 minutes before starting bending or lifting heavy decoration boxes down from the attic!
