Back Pain and Moving House: How Preparation and Smart Lifting Will Help You Stay Pain-Free

Back Pain and Moving House: How Preparation and Smart Lifting Will Help You Stay Pain-Free

In this episode, Ben James and Jacob Steyn dive into a topic that many back pain sufferers dread: moving house. Jacob recounts his recent experience of managing a major house move while keeping his back pain in check, offering a step-by-step guide on how he prepared his body and mind for the physical challenge. He emphasies the importance of planning ahead, setting realistic expectations, and knowing your physical limits—especially if you’re prone to back issues. Over the course of two weeks, Jacob carefully dismantled furniture and packed over 80 boxes, ensuring that he didn’t overload himself in the process. He explains how breaking tasks into manageable chunks and using proper ergonomics, like lifting with the hips and not the back, helped him avoid injury.

On the actual moving days, Jacob adopted a systematic approach, moving heavy items first when his energy levels were highest. He also enlisted help for larger, more strenuous tasks, knowing that trying to do everything alone could be a recipe for disaster. His story highlights how consistent strength training and conditioning played a vital role in keeping his back strong and resilient throughout the move, despite the physical toll it took.

Ben and Jacob stress that the key to managing big physical tasks like moving is a combination of smart preparation, body awareness, and regular exercise. Whether you're planning a move or facing other physical challenges, this episode is packed with actionable tips to help you protect your back and avoid flare-ups. Discover how a thoughtful approach can make moving day much smoother—even if you’ve had a history of back pain.
