lifting technique

How to lift

Lifting technique refers to the method used when raising heavy objects, particularly to avoid injury.

Proper lifting technique typically involves bending at the knees rather than the waist, keeping the back straight, and holding the load close to the body: The warehouse training covered basic lifting technique.

The term appears in workplace safety guidelines, physical therapy, and weightlifting contexts.
