Reduce Back Strain & Shovel More Efficiently – Backed by Science
Ergonomic research confirms:
- Reduces forward bending by up to 40%
- Lowers disc pressure by up to 500% vs. traditional shoveling
- Minimizes wrist and forearm strain
Comparison of disk pressure measurements by Nachemson et al. (1964) with those of Wilke et al. (1992– 2001). The absolute pressure values shown below the bars are from the newer measurements. The relaxed sitting position with reclined backrest, in which part of the weight of the upper body is supported by the backrest, yields a lumbar intradiscal pressure of 0.3 MPa and is thus associated with a significant reduction of stress on the lumbar disks. The low pressure allows fluid uptake into the disk even during sitting (from Wilke 2004).
How Reach Right Reduces Injury Risk
Key Research Findings:
-
Spinal Pressure ReductionTraditional shoveling increases lumbar disc pressure by up to 500% (Nachemson et al., 1970). Reach Right keeps the spine in a neutral position.
-
Safer Joint AnglesUp to 30° reduction in shoulder flexion & trunk bending compared to standard shoveling.
-
Improved Hand PositioningNeutral grip eliminates excessive wrist rotation (reduces pronation & supination).
