In the prevention of low back pain (LBP), health professionals almost always include education of lifting postures as part of manual handling which often trains people to lift with a straight back and bent legs.
Whether lifting is a risk factor for LBP is a debatable matter. Various studies show that - although cumulative back loading is associated with LBP - mechanical loading parameters do not link directly to the cause of LBP.
