This was a very timely video as I took out the shovel this past week to dig up a patch of weeds. Thanks for your help to protect my back!

Thank you for these helpful videos and tips on safe movement. With osteoporosis and compression fractures it is a plus that I am still able to do the things I love safely, even if it is for short periods of time.
I am now very conscious on how I move, sit, walk etc, it only I’d done this years ago.

THANK YOU for this video!!! Very timely! I just had 5 yards of crushed concrete delivered, and safely shoveled for 3 hours with the right sized shovel and right technique. The tip on using your leg for leverage was great. My smaller shovel also made for lighter loads. I’m an OT and I know better, but was still guilty in the past of twisting to speed up a job. Seeing you do it the right way changed my mind about speed. Also, I really didnt get tired doing it the right way.

In reply to Maxine Grunwald. Hi Maxine, Great question. In most cases if you take a carry on that is just a little too big they have you leave it with the baggage crew just before you board the plane. It is then delivered to you as you exit the plane. It takes a few minutes longer than bringing your carry on onto the plane but there is no lifting involved. Safe travels!

I am concerned about the best way to manage luggage when traveling.Whether using carry on luggage or checking bags,there is still lifting involved.
I recently had an MRI which showed osteoarthritis,disc bulging and nerve inflammation,worse at L4 and 5.
I also have osteoporosis.
I recently used carry on luggage,but the airline flight attendant would not assist in lifting it.
What to do?? Thanks.
