Gardeners blossom
A Charlotte NC Chiropractors wants to offer some tips for all you gardeners who are breaking out the rakes and hoes, and pulling the cover off the tractor. Many have already started their gardens, and the most avid gardeners may already be suffering with aches and pains related to going at it to hard too soon. Serious gardeners get a great sense of accomplishment from their labors, and many tend to overdo it by spending long hours in the yard and garden. The most common complaint is pain related to strains and sore muscles. The following are simple tips that can help you to avoid injuries and to enjoy good health in your garden.
Change your stance often
Sometimes gardeners will spend a lot of time in one position. Weeding is a perfect example. It often requires constant bending or kneeling. Sometimes gardeners can spend hours on their knees or hunched over. It is crucial that you periodically stand and move around, or take short breaks to straighten up from a hunched position. We recommend that you change your position at least every five to ten minutes. This will help you to protect your supporting back muscles, and the joints in your spine. Ask your chiropractor to suggest some simple exercises that will stretch your neck and back.
Keep your work close to you
Keep whatever you are carrying or working with, close to your body. This will enable you to work more efficiently, and more importantly, you will reduce strain on your back and hips. If you are working on something that is shoulder high or above, use a ladder. If you are working below your waist, work on a stool that is of appropriate height.
Stay hydrated
You will find yourself sweating and losing more fluids once the sun is higher in the sky and the temperatures get warmer. It is important to start drinking water at least 24 hours before you get out in the garden. Drinking water keeps your body hydrated, making it less susceptible to injury or cramps.
