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

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.

What to do if you suffer a Gardening related injury.

If you have suffered a gardening related injury Pain Control have the products to help.

If you have suffered a lower back injury Pain Control recommend a Lumbar Support

Whilst we recommend a Lyrca Neoprene Adjustable Wrist Support for a repetitive strain injury
