Keep the alignment of your spine and lift with your legs. You also need to consider tools which will be very comfortable to use. You can also switch hands when doing some repetitive tasks like raking to avoid overuse injuries.

Chill out

This often manifests as reddish bumps or folds on you skin and can be very uncomfortable. You can put some cold compress when you get some rash.
