As the days get nicer, many of us will start tending to our gardens.  At the office, we see people coming in with shoulder and low back injuries sustained from the garden.  Here are some tips to consider, to protect yourself, before going out to the garden:

• Kneel, don’t bend, to plant
• Change your body position often
• Take frequent breaks
• Alternate between light and heavy chores
• Drink lots of water
