80% of the population can expect to have back pain at some time in their lives. About 8 million Americans suffer new back injuries every year. Twice as many back injuries occur at home as in the workplace. About 400,000 people suffer disabling back injuries each year. Sooner or later 8 out of 10 adults at some point in their lives will experience back pain that impairs activity. BACK Facts

Slide 7-

Back injuries involving lost work The majority of back injuries that result in lost work time involve the lumbar region.
Slide 8-

Causes of Back Problems Heavy lifting ...especially repetitive lifting over a long period of time....

How do I Take Care of My Back? Body Mechanics Proper Lifting Techniques Exercise Stretching Correct Posture
Slide 17-

“It’s not how much you lift or move, but the way you do it”! General Rules: Push vs. Pull Keep Work Within “Strike Zone” 3) Keep Load Close To Body 4) Use Abdominal Bracing 5) Pivot with Feet - Avoid Twisting 6) Team Work vs. Mule Work Body Mechanics

Proper Lifting Techniques
Slide 19-

Load & Leverage 10 lbs. vs. 70 lbs. Low Back 15 lbs. vs. 45 lbs. Head & Neck Think About Posture Sitting Reaching Tool Use It’s All Physics
Slide 20-

When you add in the 105 pounds of the average human upper torso, you see that lifting a ten pound object actually puts 1,150 pounds of pressure on the lower back. It’s All Physics 10lbs.
Slide 21-

Place objects up off the floor. Set objects down on a table or other elevated surface instead of on the floor. Raise / lower shelves. The best zone for lifting is between your shoulders and your waist. Put heavier objects on shelves at waist level, lighter objects on lower or higher shelves. Avoid Lifting and Bending Whenever You Can

CONDITIONING
Slide 23-

Strength and Stability Flexibility Aerobics for Endurance Anaerobic for Recovery Why Focus on Conditioning?
Slide 24-

Increased Strength Increased Endurance Decreased Risk of Injury Better Job Performance Benefits of Conditioning
Slide 25-

Start Safe – The Warm-Up Begin with 5 – 10 minute warm-up Should be specific to activity Gradually increase intensity Stretch lightly (after warm-up) Don’t overstretch Hold each stretch for at least 20 seconds
Slide 26-

60 minutes per day Weight Management Benefit Enhanced Circulation Healthier Heart Decrease High Cholesterol Aerobic Exercise
Slide 27-

Trunk Abdominals Extensors Legs Quads Gluts Hip Flexors Strength & Flexibility… Areas of Focus
Slide 28-

Crunches Press Ups Bird Dog Stability Exercises
Slide 29-

Cool Down Prevents injury Rids muscles of waste products Returns heart rate and blood pressure to normal Suggestions: Stretch should last 15 or more seconds Gently stretch for 10 minutes
Slide 30-

STRETCH!!
Slide 31-

Lower Trunk Rotation Hamstring Stretch Quad Stretch Stretches & Flexibility
Slide 32-

Sit Straight Stretch Out Walk Tall Correcting Posture
Slide 33-

Posture Bad posture can be the cause of spinal pain, it can make existing pain worse, and it certainly can make the pain last a lot longer.
Slide 34-

Relaxation Techniques Staying Hydrated Stress Management Rest/Sleep Other Ways to Take Care of Your Back
Slide 35-

Water We need at least eight 8 oz glasses of water a day (64 ounces) The human body can live weeks with out food, but only a few days with out water!
Slide 36-

Breathing techniques Exercise regularly Rest & Relaxation Express your feelings Ways to Relief Stress
Slide 37-

DON’T Sleep on a sagging mattress Sleep in one position too long DO Sleep on a mattress that is firm Sleep on a king or queen size bed allows freedom to change positions frequently Sleeping
Slide 38-

Injury Prevention Tips Increase intensity/duration gradually Use proper technique Use appropriate equipment Do not ignore aches/pains
Slide 39-

Causes of Injuries Increasing activity too quickly Poorly functioning equipment Improper form Working through pain Lack of conditioning
Slide 40-

Treat Injuries the RICE Way! Rest – avoid using affected area until pain-free Ice – for 20 minutes at a time every few hours Compression – pressure bandage to reduce swelling Elevation – raise at or above heart level
Slide 41-

When to See Your Doctor Injured limb/joint is deformed Broken skin over injury site Numbness, tingling Inability to move area without pain Joint feels unstable Can not bear weight Swelling Does not improve within 48 hours Begins within 30 minutes of injury
