Hi everyone! Thank you for watching. This video on back injury prevention has been highly requested! Since I'm not an expert in musculoskeletal disorders, I partnered with WorkRight NW's Doctor of Physical Therapy Chantel Gorton to help bring you key tips to preventing back injuries both on and off-the-job. Thanks for your requests!

Is the annotation on the far righthand side of the diagram @3:40 correct? "Bending over lifting 1lbs, 20"..."

[@maliksutton6634]

So many injuries occur from heavy lifting and pulling especially in construction and hands ob jobs. One advice I have learned is bend your legs while lifting.

Wait wtf? She said a fun science fact about the crane thing!!!! That was so bad ass and reminded me about physics girl :3 idk y that excited me but it was cool

[@karmacounselor]

Having your knees locked causes the curve of the lower back to become exaggerated. This puts stress on your spine, over contracting the spinal erectors and other muscles of the low back, increasing pain in the area, as well as making it more difficult to engage your core muscles. (quote from Philamassages)

some people just out of shape and they complain of a back injury

[@dumpsterfire6351]
