7.Learn to Lift Properly
Lifting children and other heavy objects is a common source of back pain. Follow these tips to protect your back:
Get close to the object you’re lifting. Keep your elbows as close to your trunk as possible, trying not to reach your arms away from your body, says Rao.
Bend your knees and lift with your legs and stomach muscles.
Don’t twist as you lift.
8.Ask About Stairs
Taking the stairs is often suggested as a way to fit more exercise into your day. But walking up stairs may not be the best exercise for some people with low back pain, especially older adults and those with knee problems. So before you head for the stairwell, ask your doctor whether taking the stairs is the right option for you.
