    Preventing Stress Injuries During Prolonged Standing

    • Shift weight periodically from one foot to the other to reduce fatigue.
    • Use a footrest to alternate placing feet, promoting comfort and reducing strain.
    • Maintain proper footwear, choosing supportive shoes with cushioning.

    Instructions for Clients

    • Educate clients on the importance of movement breaks every 30 to 60 minutes during prolonged standing.
    • Recommend gentle stretches for legs and back to improve circulation and relieve tension.

    Lifting Heavy Objects

    • Bend at the knees and keep the back straight to maintain proper posture when lifting.
    • Hold the object close to the body to use major muscle groups for support.
    • Engage core muscles to stabilize the body during the lift.

    Common Mistakes to Avoid

    • Avoid twisting the body while lifting, as this increases the risk of injury.
    • Do not lift with the back; always use leg muscles to do the lifting.
    • Refrain from attempting to lift heavy items alone; seek assistance if needed.

    Correct Posture During Prolonged Standing

    • Stand with feet shoulder-width apart to distribute weight evenly.
    • Keep the shoulders relaxed and aligned with the hips.
