“Prevention can be achieved through the “three smart” methods.
Stand smartly: avoid hunching over and maintain a straight standing posture to reduce the load on the muscles of the lower back.
Sitting: Choose a chair with good lumbar support, place a pillow on the lumbar area to maintain the normal curvature of the spine, and change your posture or get up every half hour.
Move smartly: avoid carrying heavy objects. If your occupation requires it, lower your centre of gravity by bending both knees and hips, while keeping your back as straight as possible and avoiding excessive bending or twisting of the waist. If the item is heavy, try to get a partner to carry it with you.”
