4 Stretches to Warm Up Prior to Yard Work

After you have warmed up, you want to try and limit any twisting, especially if you are lifting heavier weights. Also, try to avoid sitting in a bent-over position for an extended period of time as that can cause excess strain on your lower back. Buying longer-handled garden tools, eliminating the need to bend over, can help as well.

All of the exercises above should be able to be performed without any pain. If any of the above motions do cause some pain, our physical therapists at Apex will be able to assess your motion and find out what is causing your pain.

Once we identify what is causing your pain we will design a plan to help you get back to working in your yard pain-free!
