Back Owner's Maintenance Guide

Maintain your back's three natural curves by always being aware of your posture and correcting it.

Avoid a swayed or rounded back at all times.

Help relieve back strain by maintaining a healthy weight.

Lift with your legs–not with your back. Do this by squatting and bending your knees. Hold the object as close to your body as possible. And don't twist.

Change positions often during the day. Break up tasks, such as long drives, into shorter segments.

Stand with one foot raised up on a box or stool.

Exercise daily to build strong supporting muscles. Walking and swimming are excellent ways to work out.
