Dr. Cannada:

They can use good, proper mechanics. Most women just reach over their head like that. That is not good. They should be up on the stool so that they are working at their arm level and not really pushing their arm not much over their head. So that is one of the things women can do.

They tend to reach for things in cabinets. They should do as a step stool. They tend to do their spring-cleaning and get the spring-cleaning shoulder because they are always cleaning in all the nooks and crannies by having their hand very high over their head. That puts a lot of stress on your shoulder.
