Nothing’s worse than being sidelined by back pain! But how can we tackle our daily activities - think Costco boxes, Amazon packages, and wiggly kids and grandkids - without fear of hurting ourselves?

Listener Nicole asked the same thing: “I’ve hurt my back several times in the past when picking something up off the floor. So now, I’m always nervous when I have to do it. What are your tips on how to lift objects without hurting my back?”

Maybe you’ve had the same question! In this shortie episode, I discuss why moving cautiously can actually backfire, the best way to SAFELY lift items off the ground, and how to train to protect your back for future lifting!

You’re not going to want to miss these tips that you can put into practice TODAY!
