Cleaning Job ... Tell me the pain gets better

[Haleywaley]

Started a new cleaning job this week and everyday after I finish im in so much pain. My back is killing me 🙈 and the next morning it feels like I've done 3 hours on the weights at the gym!
I'm really enjoying the job so hoping it will calm down?

It will, but you need time to recover inbetween! I cleaned for years and it definitely does get easier.

It will get better, but you need to develop coping strategies. Like if I'd done a lot of bending down, I'd follow it with a lot of reaching up to compensate. Hoovering with a heavy cylinder seemed to make my back ache more than anything, so I changed to an upright Shark.
It's all a case of making adjustments. Hope you suffer less as time goes by.

Agree with the vacuum cleaner strain. I'd used a cordless Dyson for years at home and had to haul an ancient corded Henry around a nursing home. Moving the furniture wasn't a problem but moving the fucking Henry was.
