The Best Way To Paint Your Ceiling Without Hurting Your Neck And Back
By JACQUELINE DELIBES
To paint your ceiling in a way that won’t strain your back and neck, keep the roller in front of you at all times and angle it so you’re sweeping left to right, not front to back.
By using this technique, your head will still be looking upwards but at a more tolerable angle than awkwardly stretching backward to see behind you.
When you need to replenish your roller with more paint, take the opportunity to drop your head forward, chin to chest, and rest in a counter stretch for at least 15 seconds.
Using these two tips, you can significantly lessen the strain and may save your beck and back from painful aches once the painting job is done.
