Avoid Back Pain While Brushing Your Teeth
While brushing your teeth the important thing is how to stand!
Wrong Way: People often lean forward when brushing their teeth and this motion causes the disc to load which leads to back problems. Another example of this is when people lean over to wash their dishes.
Right Way:
1. Place on foot on a six inch foot stool which gets you in an upright position while brushing your teeth. (or washing your dishes)
2. When you need to bend forward bend at your hips. (Hip Hinges)
These helpful tips not only work for one who is brushing their teeth but also for one who is spending time in the kitchen leaning over to wash dishes.
