What could be simpler than standing up or sitting down?
Sometimes it’s not so easy. Perhaps, you’ve grown older, been injured, or have an illness and all of a sudden this simple movement has become difficult and you may feel vulnerable and exposed to further injury.
Standing up and sitting down are common and necessary tasks for successful activities of daily living. However, injuries occur frequently during this seemingly simple task. The most common being a low back injury. These injuries are easily preventable. Using proper body mechanics, sitting down and standing up become quite safe and much easier to perform. In the video below, Holly shows you how, simply and clearly.
