With Christmas on the way in 2 weeks or so it’s time to start wrapping those gifts you’ve been buying for your friends and family. Here are some simple tips that will keep gift wrapping fun and painless:

• Wrap at Table Height: Wrapping on the floor or on a surface that’s lower causes you to bend your back too much which can lead to pain. Instead, use a counter or desk so that you can keep your back upright and your shoulders relaxed.
• Use Pre-Cut Wrapping Paper: Pre-cut sheets reduce awkward pulling and reaching motions that strain your back and shoulders. 
• Use a Supportive Chair: If you’re sitting, choose a chair with good back support. Place a small pillow behind your back to maintain natural spine alignment.
