How to prevent back injuries
A guide to standing tall and sitting pretty
Back pain is the silent saboteur of productivity, comfort and your ability to reach the top shelf without wincing. Fear not. With a few simple habits, you can keep your spine in line and your back feeling great.
1. Lift like a pro
When lifting, channel your inner weightlifter. According to the National Institutes of Health, you should bend your knees, not your back. Keep the load close to your body and avoid twisting. If it's too heavy, ask for help or use mechanical aids like carts or forklifts.
2. Stretch and strengthen
Regular stretching and strengthening exercises, especially for your core, can prevent back pain. Aim for at least two days a week of muscle-strengthening and stretching exercises.
3. Mind your posture
Whether sitting or standing, maintain good posture. Sit with your back straight and shoulders back. You should also stand tall with your head up and shoulders back.
4. Stay active
Regular physical activity can help keep your back muscles strong. Aim for at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity.
5. Maintain a healthy weight
Being overweight can strain your back. Getting regular physical activity and choosing healthy foods can help you get to and stay at a healthy weight.
6. Take breaks
If your job requires long periods of sitting or standing, take frequent breaks. Short, frequent breaks about every 20-30 minutes allow muscles to stretch and relieve stress on the back.
7. Use ergonomic equipment
Adjust your workspace to fit your body. Use chairs with proper lumbar support. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), while sitting, your feet should rest flat on the floor with your hips and knees at or slightly greater than a 90-degree angle. Avoid working on a couch or a soft chair. Varying your posture regularly is also good for you. Position your computer screen at eye level to avoid straining your neck and back.
By incorporating these habits into your daily routine, you can keep your back healthy and pain-free. Remember, a little prevention goes a long way in avoiding back injuries.

Genesis Heart & Vascular Institute Celebrates Milestone
Genesis HealthCare System’s Heart & Vascular team members recently performed their 1,000th structural heart procedure, marking a major milestone in their commitment to advancing cardiovascular care and improving lives in the community. Structural heart disease refers to a problem with the physical parts of the heart that affects how the heart works. It can occur at birth or develop later in life and can often lead to serious health consequences, such as heart failure, stroke or reduced quality of life. Structural heart disease includes irregularities that affect the heart’s valves, walls, chambers or muscle. Common structural heart conditions include aortic stenosis and mitral valve regurgitation.
“Reaching the 1,000-case milestone is humbling,” said Kinan Kassar, M.D., FACC, Director of Structural Heart Disease at the Genesis Heart & Vascular Institute. “We are grateful to our patients for trusting us with their care. It shows we are making a difference and motivates us to continue bringing new innovative procedures to our community.”
Genesis Heart and Vascular doctors utilize a variety of advanced treatment options to treat structural heart disease. The goals are to use minimally invasive procedures that reduce risks, limit recovery time and usually enable patients to return home the day of the procedure or the next day. One common procedure is a minimally invasive procedure that closes the left atrial appendage in the heart. It reduces the risk of having a stroke for people with atrial fibrillation.
This achievement underscores Genesis Hospital's role as a regional leader in structural heart disease treatment and the ongoing dedication to innovation, excellence and compassionate care. For more information on the Genesis Heart & Vascular Institute, visit genesishcs.org/heart.
