	Manual handling activities have multiple scenarios, but the obvious <strong>manual handling scenario</strong> is the common occurrence of lifting a pen off the ground. Now, an adult head weighs 5-7 kg, so when it comes to the manual handling of a pen from off the ground from a standing posture, you are not simply lifting a pen up, your lift your head as well. This is possibly the most overlooked regular scenario in our daily lives, with serious<strong> health and safety implications</strong> as we grow older. The vertebrates &amp; spine are finely adjusted; suited for standing posture, and walking. The vertebrate disks open up sufficiently to allow back movement activities such as <strong>manual handling exercises</strong>, but this leaves us open to back ergonomic health and safety issues in the case of top heavy loads.</p>
