Newenhouse, A., Miquelon, M., and Chapman, L. University of Wisconsin, Healthy Farmers, Healthy Profits Project, Work Efficiency Tip Sheet. 2 p. 2007.
Stoop labor is unavoidable on many nurseries, since at times plant care and other tasks need to be done by hand. If you spend too much time stooping, kneeling or squatting, you may experience fatigue, muscle soreness or injuries now than can contribute to worse injuries later in life. One alternative is to use an adjustable strap-on stool that lets you sit while you work and reduces strain on your back, hips and knees.
