Mitigation methods:

If you want to stay away from lumbar pain, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Use your waist correctly: When moving or lifting heavy objects, you should separate your feet to the width of your shoulders, bend your knees, use your abdominal muscles, and then move the object. At this time, the thigh and calf muscles work at the same time, dispersing the strength of the waist. If you lift heavy objects from the ground with your knees extended, the pressure on your waist can increase by 40%, which can easily damage the ligaments, muscles and intervertebral discs in your waist. Therefore, you should not bend over when moving objects, but bend your knees, and maintain the curvature of your waist when it is in a normal upright position to avoid concentrating force on the waist. If the object is too heavy, do not use force.

2. Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time: People who work in a sitting position for a long time are prone to waist fatigue. Therefore, you should pay attention to moving your waist after sitting or standing for a long time. my country’s exercises during work and during classes are good preventive measures.
