💔You shall not breakdown💔
What am about to share is IMPORTANT especially for Full-Time Shoemakers, without much talks let's look at them...
1. Avoid Working on very Low Benches
If your shoe bench or stitching table is too low, you will bend forward for hours and strain your back.
The solution here is yourr work surface should allow your elbows to rest around 90° without bending your spine for too long.
2. Avoid Sitting Without Back Support
Stools, plastic chairs, and armless seats gradually damage posture.
3. Avoid Long Hours Without Standing
Continuous sitting while lasting, stitching, or finishing compresses your spine. Sometimes try to stand up, stretch, and walk around every 45–60 minutes e get why...
4. Avoid Hunching During Hand Stitching and Detailing guming...
Leaning too close to the shoe causes neck and upper-back pain.
So sometimes raise the shoe toward your eye level instead of dropping your head for long. Have you notice a sharp pain around your neck before? Okayy
5. Avoid Cutting Leather on the Floor
See constant bending while pattern cutting leads to chronic lower-back pain. Maybe try to use a cutting table at waist height, I know you may not have a bigger space but at least try to find all these elephant made plastic tables, it will help.
.
6. Do Not Ignore Early Pain
Like the small wrist, shoulder, or back pain is a warning sign.
Please try to rest, stretch, and adjust posture immediately before it becomes chronic, on TikTok I saw one guy complaining of waist pain... I feel for him but there is nothing I can do to help the matter.
7. Avoid Lifting Heavy Machines or Leather Loads Alone
Industrial machines, filling machine, and heavy leather rolls are not light.
I know your strength is too-much, lol😆... but oga try talk to people for help or use proper lifting technique (bend knees, keep back straight), I do this a lot.
That's not all,
8. Please eat fruit occasionally, orange, pineapple, apple, watermelon, and nuts... I'm not a dietitian but I strongly believe that humans are natural, and natural foods has a significant benefits for natural humans you get?
