Bending & crouching
* Whether you:
- bend from a seated position
- bend from a standing position
- crouch with both feet flat on the floor
- crouch on one or both knees
* keep your back straight, maintain your normal curve, support your weight, and bend at the hips and knees
* when bending or crouching, support your weight with your free hand by leaning on a desk, your thigh, or whatever is available. Keep your feet apart for greater stability and balance.
* when combining crouching or bending with reaching, stabilize yourself and maintain your lumbar curve.
