Let my suffering be your reasoning to thrive. Let it be today. Let this be your motivation. Clean, my sisters brothers and none of the above. Clean.
ProTip: push your knee(s) against the sink for extra support. Initially you'll feel a little weird, but you won't care after your back stops hurting. You can also use this when brushing your teeth and washing your hands.
Source: Taught to me by a physiotherapist who specialises in pain management.
Pro pro tip: make sure the edge of the sink isn’t wet before you do that. Unless you like looking like you peed yourself.
There are water-proof aprons. Not a bad investment.
As a tall person, I really need to try that, thx. Hunching over doesn't bother me at all when washing hands or brushing my teeth, since that is only for a short while, but my back does start to hurt if there's a bit of dish washing to do
I just use a kitchen stool.
Yo, that's a great tip. Thanks.
Welp, something I've been doing without thinking since I was a teenager working as a dish washer. I've had back problems since puberty. Stretch marks on my back to this day from growing too quickly.
