Vacuuming the house is just one of those tasks. It looks great afterwards but if you doing it with a sore back there may be a price to pay afterwards.

Vacuuming usually requires that we bend forward to reach the handle. As we move the vacuum cleaner forward and backwards we introduce a twisting motion to the body. It’s a perfect combination to aggravate lower back pain – bending forward and twisting.

So if you are currently healing from a round of lower back pain I recommend  you get some assistance with the vacuuming during this time. Or turn a blind eye to the state of your floors!
