When's the last time you bent over to pick up something?

A dog treat on the floor

5 minutes ago dog toys!

My baby

What a strange question! Just now, a piece of paper id dropped.

A stray rabbit poo.

Often I just pick up the item with my feet. Saves bending over. 🤷‍♀️

I've just come back from my allotment, spent a couple of hours digging/weeding.

Now sitting down with a cup of tea with a sore back!

Hand weights in the gym. I'm just about to go and pick the laundry basket up off the floor to bring clean laundry upstairs.

Just a few minutes ago, to pick washing up from the basket and hang on the line.

All my health and safety training is saying don’t bend over. Squat like a toddler and protect your spine!

I got vertigo so I bought a grabber gadget 😄

Earlier today; the cat litter tray

A sponge cake out of a bottom kitchen drawer.

Look up a specific manoeuvre that can shift crystals in the inner ear - A game changer for me

You tube shows how to do it-
Benign Positional vertigo is often due today these crystals that can be dislodged.

( Can’t remember name of exercises, only that they work for many people)

Which is very good advice, providing you don't have dodgy knees! I can't squat due to an old knee injury, my cartilage slips, my knee locks and I end up in agony for several days whilst I wait to see the (private) physio again.

Constantly picking things up off the floor particularly when I'm cooking, carrots tend to fly off the chopping board the most!

A piece of gravel that had been kicked inside through the back door.

I try to squat rather than bend too.

Half an hour ago - footwear related.

@oakleaffy it's the Epley Manoeuvre, and it always helps DH when he has an attack!

Team squat with straight back

Bending from the hips is fine, but my hamstrings are just not flexible enough.

A rogue sock on my DD's floor.

An empty biscuit packet just now.

A children's story book 30 seconds ago. I've got a 2 year old and a 6 month old^^ so I bend over to pick something or someone up approx every 30 seconds of every minute of every day

A washing basket off the floor in the hall, to
go and get the washing from the line (in the dark because I’d forgotten about it 😅)

You have asked when but answered what

About an hour ago - a bag containing shower gel which was leaking on the carpet
