As soon as we posted our blog discussing back injuries due to luggage, I stumbled across this video from CBS News where Debbye Turner Bell speaks briefly about how to shop til’ you drop without hurting your back.
In the short segment they focus on using more bags, using lightweight luggage, bending at your knees, and avoiding reaching and twisting.
They also touch on a statistic from the CDC stating that over 50,000 winter related back injuries are reported each year and 5,800 of those are holiday related.
We’ve embedded the clip from CBS below or you can click here to read the article and watch the video at cbs.com.
