Occasionally, before you can lift heavy items you have to bend it over. Damage of the back and torso can be experienced and permanent if the mover does not take the proper precautionary steps. The best method is lifting from the knees for heavier objects. This, moment can cause injury if moved incorrectly; injuries in this aspect are easily attained if care is not taken.
