Fall is near at hand and that means raking, which can also lead to back pain and other strains and injuries.
For us in BC, we're fortunate to live in a Province abundant with trees and foliage. In Fall, however, all our leafy friends wind up leaving us with BIG cleanups as piles of leaves blanket our yards and flower beds.
Over the next few weeks, people throughout Whistler, and elsewhere around the Lower Mainland and Sunshine Coast, will take to their yards, rakes in hand and begin the tiresome, painstaking task of 'sweeping' away endless piles of leaves and other yard waste in preparation for Winter.
And as inevitable as the leaves falling are the back strains, shoulder pains and wrist soreness that often follow.
Before you head out to the yard and rake this year, check out our white paper on leaf raking to help you properly prepare with the right technique an the right tools to prevent injury and and make leaf raking a breeze!
