Use a high density foam gardening knee pad to kneel on
Use a small gardening stool to sit on rather than standing and bending forwards
Only lift a small amount at a time. Make a few trips if necessary or use a wheelbarrow or get help
Don’t remain bent forward for too long – every 10 minutes, stretch your shoulder blades back
Keep gardening tools close to you so you do not have to stretch too far to reach them
Take frequent breaks! Don’t garden non-stop for extended periods of time–rather just a little at a time
Enjoy being close to nature! Its a great stress reliever !
