There’s no denying the beauty of autumn in New Fairfield, CT. But while the falling leaves create postcard-perfect scenery, they also create back-breaking chores. At Chiropractic Life and Wellness Center, we help patients stay pain-free through every season—especially during raking season!
Protect Your Spine While You Rake
Stretch first: Warm up with 10–15 minutes of movement and stretches like knee-to-chest, trunk rotations, and side bends.
Switch stances: Use a “scissor” stance—one foot forward, then alternate.
Keep your posture upright: Don’t hunch your back. Keep your chin up and shoulders relaxed.
Bend with your knees: Never bend at the waist to pick up leaves or lift bags.
Use your body: When pushing mowers or heavy tools, engage your whole body, not just your arms.
Start smart: When pulling a mower cord, bend and rise in one smooth motion—don’t twist.
Stay hydrated and protected: Wear a hat, gloves, good shoes, and eye protection. Use a mask if you have allergies.
Choose ergonomic tools: Tools designed to reduce strain can save your back.
Ice if needed: Use cold packs after the work if you feel sore.
