[pianotech] lifting anything heavy

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

Greetings,
 
        To avoid ruptured spinal disk, NEVER lift anything heavy without 
bending the knees. I was told by my chiropractor to get your body as close to 
the heavy object as you can and then bend the knees as you lift. 
 
Anything that causes you to have to hump your back and stretch it can cause 
tearing, stretching of muscle tissue and possible rupture of spinal disks.
