BODY UP BROOMS and the following tips can significantly improve how you and body feel about cleaning.
-
When sweeping you should move your feet from side to side to reduce upper body strain.
-
Sweep standing upright and practice looking up - as opposed to always looking down at the surface being cleaned. Looking up will help to stretch the neck. Also take breaks at regular intervals.
-
Bend at the knees, not at the back.
- A relaxed grip should be used when handling tools and equipment to reduce hand and wrist strain.
- Good posture can help prevent back and neck pain, improve digestion and breathing, and reduce pressure on joints and ligaments.
