In fact, many people end up with back pain<\/strong> after spending a day cleaning the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If this happens, you are likely to adopt incorrect back and neck positions<\/strong> while doing housework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, it is necessary to take cover immediately and understand which positions should be changed<\/strong> to avoid that annoying back pain after washing floors or ironing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this regard, today we want to give you some tips on how to protect your back during some household chores.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s watch them together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n NB<\/strong> We always recommend that you consult your doctor<\/strong> in case of back pain or other ailments, in order to have appropriate therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you experience back pain right after vacuuming or sweeping<\/strong> , it’s time to follow some tips to find relief<\/strong> and prevent it from happening again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These activities, in fact, include repetitive movements<\/strong> and require bending and stooping. Therefore, it’s easy to develop back pain if you don’t maintain proper posture during these activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To avoid pain and muscle strain<\/strong> , we recommend that you keep your back straight at all times and move your hips and shoulders in the same direction as you are moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, try to stand up instead of bending down frequently. Then you can stand up and take a step forward with one foot, bending your knee only slightly to reduce strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, we recommend that you use vacuum cleaners that are lighter<\/strong> and easier to grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For floor cleaning<\/strong> , you can use the same technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, however, we recommend that you do not bend your back when you have to rinse the rag in the bucket,<\/strong> but rather lower yourself to the level of the bucket by bending one knee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Washing dishes and your back<\/strong> don’t mix. Especially when there are so many dishes to wash!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, to avoid back pain, try to maintain an upright posture as much as possible<\/strong> and avoid leaning over the sink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, we recommend using a padded mat under the sink to cushion the weight on your feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cooking and ironing<\/strong> can be two activities that lead us to stand for long periods of time and therefore strain our backs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, if your back hurts after cooking or ironing, it means you need to correct the position you assume during this activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend that you avoid bending your back and shoulders<\/strong> and that you don’t stay in the same position for long periods. In fact, try to stretch your legs and change the position of your legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, you can keep one leg forward and the other back, and then switch after a while. Also, try sitting down for a bit if you’ve been standing for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, when ironing, you can benefit from placing the ironing board at an optimal height<\/strong> so that you don’t have to bend over or arch your shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even simply lifting a laundry basket<\/strong> can cause back pain. Indeed, the pain comes from the act of lifting a weight<\/strong> and the bending motion required to pick something up<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n So always try to bend your knees. <\/strong> Don’t arch your back, but try to lower yourself with your back straight.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If, on the other hand, you have to pick up children’s toys, try crawling on the floor while picking them up to avoid repetitive bending motions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have to carry boxes of water or buckets,<\/strong> we recommend that you lift the objects by supporting yourself on your knees and leaning forward with your back straight in an upright position.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then hold the object upright close to the body and at the height of the pelvic area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, we want to give you some other tips for<\/strong> properly cleaning certain surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always try to adjust surfaces to your height<\/strong> and, therefore, use stools in case of higher surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, you can protect your back by standing in front of a piece of furniture<\/strong> and cleaning it with small movements without leaning to the right or left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also pay attention to the position of your feet:<\/strong> they should be straight, just like your back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"how](\"https:\/\/www.vivodibenessere.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/come-fare-pulizie-1068x605.jpg\" "\\"how")
