Detailed explanation-1: -It is easy to practice good body mechanics when you follow three simple guidelines: Stand with your feet apart to create a sturdy foundation. Bend at your knees instead of your waist. Keep your neck, back, hips, and feet aligned when you move; avoid twisting and bending at the waist.
Detailed explanation-2: -Good body mechanics means practicing good posture throughout the day. Use good body mechanics all the time, not just when you have back pain. Keep your back in the neutral position-not too curved and not too flat.
Detailed explanation-3: -While lifting, keep your back in a neutral position (arched normally, not stiff), knees bent, weight balanced on both feet. Tighten your stomach and back muscles to maintain a correct support position. Use your arms to support the person. Again, let your legs do the lifting.
