Gardening is one of the perfect ways to exercise and relax, let people be one with nature and have fun to the fullest. Gardeners spend a lot of time gardening in their backyard, but that could be causing some body damage.
- The most common gardening injuries include:
1) Forearm and elbow overuse injury: Repetitive activities such as pruning may cause strain on the elbow and forearm due to overuse, such as ball elbow, wrist and thumb overuse, such as pruning twigs with scissors, etc. These can cause carpal tunnel syndrome, tenosynovitis and so on.
2) Knees Injuries: Kneeling/squatting for a long time, such as weeding or growing vegetables, puts a lot of pressure on our knees, which may cause knees discomfort.
3) Low back pain: Bending and loading activities (such as starting a lawn mower or digging with a shovel) can hurt our lower back hip pain and prepatellar bursitis: Prolonged squatting can cause inflammation and pain in the hip joint , especially for gardeners who already have arthritis. Kneeling to weed or grow vegetables puts a lot of stress on our knees, which can lead to knees discomfort and inflammation of the surrounding tissue.
- How to mitigate and avoid these injuries, there are two garden tools recommended:
1) Use labor-saving pruning shears to complete the pruning work. Good pruning shears will let you to enjoy the pruning interest and no longer be helpless because of wrist pain.

Lots of people squat or kneel for a long time, and the blood vessels and nerves in the lower limbs will also be compressed, resulting in leg numbness when standing up.
