Gardening leaving you sore?

Perfect your posture!


Here's a piece to get you wondering about gardening, sitting, walking, housework & other challenges to the pelvis & spine.


Unusual as it sounds, the source of this piece on posture is one of UK's national newspapers, but we include it as an interest piece as it includes the risks of gardening as summer beckons. In such spirits did a couple of SPACE personnel meet over at the Gardening Show at Ingliston at the weekend amongst the exotic & the colourful exhibits on show such as these Ladys Slippers or Lilies! 


So if Weeding, digging, raking, planting and sowing all give you backache then take a look at the positions involved-often it's a bent-over posture which is held for prolonged periods whilst you tend the garden.


Come on down to SPACE in Edinburgh's West End to see how you can still look after or makeover the garden or patio but in a more comfortable manner, and learn some tips-on posture of course rather than gardening!
