Tips To Rake Without The Ache

Many of you have probably experienced pain or discomfort after a long day of raking leaves and bending over to pack them into bags. 🍂

It can be a very strenuous activity and can put a lot of stress on your back. However, it’s a task that cannot be ignored. 😒

When you do start raking those leaves, be mindful of your back. ⚠

👉 Take frequent breaks and do gentle stretches

👉 If you feel a sharp pain in your back, stop for the day

👉 Make sure you warm-up before you begin

👉 When lifting bags of leaves make sure you are lifting correctly keeping a neutral spine and carry smaller, manageable loads
