Welcome to Lift Smart Australia "I always took pride in my good health and ability to do almost anything, especially when working on our company property, so I was devastated after making what I considered just a routine 'lift and turn' to have incurred a serious back injury requiring radical spinal surgery. Just the simple task of lifting a fishing esky off the back of a utility was a mistake that resulted in my injury. Although I have heard so often, 'take care of how you lift' etc., I never considered what I might do to my body.

I will take this lesson with me in my future lifting years!" Jenifer: Spinal Surgery Patient
