Generally most of the back/knee/shoulder injuries that happen to people is from having a sit down job all week long , and then attempting to move some heavy object without stretching on Saturday morning. I see this with my job (which is very physical) and those who I ask for a small bit of help every now and then. One injured his back helping me lift a 150# mold, while another strained his anke while doing 100 repetitive parts prototype assembly (the same parts that I have made thousands of with nothing more than a sore muscle now and then). Thes guys were both 10-15 years younger than me also.
At 52 years old, it helps that I still cut/split/stack 5 cords of firewood a year, and sling countless bales of hay for our horses.
