Great tip! I think I may actually do that a good deal of the time. Now I will pay more attention.

I want to add one item to Gloria's back care comments. It sounds a bit odd, but I guarantee it is effective: When you are about to lift something, CONSIOUSLY tighten your abdominal muscles. It creates a brace for your back muscles, and you will notice the positive effect. Hopefully this can become an unconscious habit over time.
