When you have a beach house or any home where you have primary living spaces located on an upper floor as opposed to a ground floor, you know how much of a hassle it can be when you need to bring groceries, luggage, beach gear and other household items either into the home or out of it. Carrying all of these items up the stairs can be a huge ordeal and you can even do damage to your back as a result of the effort.
Fortunately, you no longer have to put your health at risk by carrying things up flights of stairs on a regular basis. In fact, you can even eliminate the need to occasionally carry luggage and beach gear up and down the stairs. With an EasyLift added to your home, you’ll never have to cart cargo up and down the stairs again.
An EasyLift™ Can Help Prevent Back Injuries
CageArrest™
Your back is made up of your spinal cord and other vertebrae (bones) as well as of soft tissues including muscles, ligaments and cartilage. Unfortunately, you can do significant and lasting damage to your back when you need to carry items. The damage can occur to your soft tissues and can come from an acute injury, an overexertion injury or overuse over time.
If you are carrying items up the stairs and you trip and fall, this accident could injure not just your back but your entire body. Trip and falls are common in homes, especially on stairs and especially when you carrying things. The injuries you sustain if you trip and fall because your hands are full and you cannot see or balance could have a permanent impact on your life.
When you are carrying things up and down the stairs, you could also suffer from an overexertion injury. This type of injury occurs when you try to lift and carry something that is too heavy. The muscles could become strained or sprained or the ligaments damaged or torn as you struggle to lift the heavy item and as you hurt your back in the process. Twisting your body at an awkward shape when carrying items could also cause this type of overexertion injury.
Finally, repetitive stress or repetitive use injuries can happen over time if you repeatedly use the muscles in your back to carry items up and down the stairs in your home. One of the most common injuries occurs when the discs that cushion the bones of your spine become damaged and start to bulge. This condition, which can be called a slipped or herniated disc, can cause limited mobility and nerve pain.
Any of the injuries that you sustain to your back can be very difficult to live with and very hard to treat. You don’t want to do anything to increase the chances of these injuries and with an EasyLift, you do not have to. Instead of carrying heavy items up and down the stairs, you can just load them right onto your EasyLift and move them effortlessly where you need them to go.
An EasyLift is the perfect way to get any items up your stairs and into your home quickly. If you’re ready to install an EasyLift in your home, visit their website here.
