7. Strains and Overexertion
Small, light loads (stacks of files, boxes of computer paper, books) can wreak havoc on your back, neck, and shoulders if you use your body incorrectly when you lift them
When lifting from the floor, squat close to the load and lift by straightening your legs.
Let your leg muscles, not your back muscles, do the work
