Rayleigh, United Kingdom - June 9, 2017 /PressCable/ —
As we enter the summer months the need to take care of gardens becomes more urgent. Plants, flowers, grass, and weeds grow at a rapid rate, and the number of hours needing to be spent keeping a garden looking good increases.
As rewarding as gardening can be it is often source of back pain for many, especially those who do not do it regularly. Frequent bending, lifting and carrying, and time spent on knees places a strain on the spine, often resulting in days of pain and discomfort.
Much of this pain can be avoided through proper posture, particularly when lifting. Mark Davies a chiropractor in Rayleigh, Essex has offered local gardeners advice to keep themselves free of discomfort whilst enjoying themselves working in their gardens. The article, entitled “Simple Back Care Tips for Gardener”, can be read at the Help To Health Chiropractic website.
The six top tips in the blog post are
1. Wear comfortable and appropriate shoes
2. Take 5 to 10 minutes to stretch before you begin
3. Take rest and stretching breaks every 30 to 45 minutes
4. Invest in a kneeling stool and wheelbarrow
5. Use the correct tools for your height
6. Pay attention to your posture
Mark Davies said, “Every summer I see a number of patients with back, neck and shoulder pain as result of time spent working in their gardens. Much of this discomfort could be avoided by proper preparation and correct posture. My hope is that the tips shared in this article will help people stay healthy and maintain their mobility so they can appreciate the joy of gardening.”

Trump wants to leave AI “exactly where it is” rather than add new guardrails, while Xi...
