It is important to know which situations cause excessive loads and how to use proper body mechanics to reduce the risk of injury.A majority of low-back problems are caused by simple strains that can heal within six to eight weeks with appropriate treatment. Fear and misunderstanding are the two main factors that can delay recovery.The information and advice in this booklet will help you understand how the back works,provide tips for avoiding injury,and show you how to care for your back during recovery.
