Back pain/injuries

Although back injury is the most common problem with incorrect manual handling there are also other things that can course it. These are:

• Violent stress such as that in a car accident
• Cumulative stress which happens to most of us
• Psychological stress. Depression can cause a dip in pain threshold
• Degenerative stress. (I know the feeling:-)

Any and all of these conditions can lead to back pain and incorrect manual handling can make things considerably worse.
