well the spine is at it’s strongest when it’s in a straight position. just like a pencil if you try to bend a pencil it will bend so far then snap. Thats why they say bend at the knee’s when picking some thing up off the floor that way you are keeping your spine as straight as possible. Your back has no natural joints in it so if you look at your self in a mirror while bending over you’ll notice your actually bending at the waist and just barely arching your back hence the pencil test.

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010I was in a car accident back in 2005 and it cause me to have a lot of neck and back. I did everything from physical therapy to MRIs. So I just wanted to get a little advice from other people who went through with some sort injury. I have a court coming up soon. I just wanted to know if there is something to look forward to.

I’ve Been Off Work For More Than 2 Years Due To An Injury, And Need To Get Back To Work. How Should I Start?
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009It was an overuse work injury, and I’m afraid that no one will want to hire me now. I also have some physical limitations that will prevent me from being able to return to my former field of work.
Are there any online or other resources for finding out what type of work is available with my physical limitations?
If I find a job I think I could do, how should I go about seeking a job description to find out if it’s something I’m capable of doing?
Also, how should I explain my abscence from the work force in my resume, on applications, and if an interviewer asks about it?
Another question: I need a job & money NOW – if I just take whatever I can find at even minimum wage, and then somehow manage to find something else that pays better in a short period of time, will leaving for the better pay (with notice, of course) reflect badly on me, or damage my future career prospects?
Serious answers are greatly appreciated, thank you.
