Gardening Injuries - Lower Back Pain And Knee Pain - Pain Control

March 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Pain Control Tips for Avoiding Gardening related injuries

   * Before you start gardening warm up muscles and joints by performing simple stretching exercises.
   * When you are kneeling down to do your planting, place both knees on a knee pad or kneeler. You can even use an old cushion or blanket.
   * Rather than using a large spade to dig use a small spade. This way you will put less strain onto your back, avoiding lower back pain.
   * Avoid repetitive strain injuries by switching tasks. Digging for long periods of time can cause a repetitive strain injury.
   * When lifting anything remember to bend your knees and keep your back straight. If using a hover mower, you should push it in front of you and face the direction in which you are cutting the grass, rather than swinging it from side to side.
