A member asked:
To avoid back pain, what's the right way to bend over?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bend your knees when: Going down.Proper bending requires a fluid 'lumbopelvic rhythm'. This means the hips and spine should coordinate to be able to touch the ground. Ideally there should be a 2:1 ratio hip movement to spine movement.
