How gardening may cause back pain. Back pain typically develops due to an injury, poor postural habits, or repetitive movements like bending. This is why back pain is so common with spring gardening. The repetitive bending, digging, and reaching needed for gardening will often lead to lower back pain.
Get in Gardening Shape
Gardening is a great way to get physical activity, and for a lot of people, the mental/emotional benefits are as important as the physical.
Although it is not often viewed this way, gardening is similar to a sports season. Just like athletes need to train in the offseason to have a productive, competitive season, gardeners need to learn how to prepare for their season.
Fortunately, our physical therapists can teach you the strategies to resolve injuries, old and new, and how to get into “gardening shape.” Find out 3 Ways to Prevent Back Pain while Gardening
