Getting out of a Chair
The key to avoiding strain to your spine when rising from a chair or sitting down is to squat up or down using your hips or knees. Stooping forward from the waist should be avoided. A trick to make this simpler is to scoot towards the edge of your chair so that you are perching and move your feet back under your thighs before sitting up (Figs. 2A and B).
