Men and women in
the farming field often experience pain during daily chores and throughout
the day (low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, arthritis, and so on). One
might say that pain is just "part of the job" when it comes to farming.
However, this does not have to be the case.
There are countless
things farmers can put into practice during their daily routines that can help
prevent pain, or reduce it. Getting into the habit of stretching every morning
is a great way to prepare the muscles for the physically-demanding chores
farmers complete on a regular basis.

stretching exercises, or for further information regarding muscle and joint
pain prevention, contact Anna Lewandowski at AnnaLewandowski@creighton.edu.
