You Need Moving Help: Here’s Why

Moving help is a useful service because most people do not have the training needed to safely and securely move heavy and awkward items. There are some common injuries that people get from moving items without experience. By hiring professionals, you avoid not only getting these injuries yourself but also avoid risking injury to your friends and family members who might be helping you with the move.

The most common moving injuries that happen without assistance are:

• A strained back – They always say lift with your knees and not with your back. That is easy enough to say, but harder to do when you are lifting a heavy armchair for the first time. Plus, as your leg muscles get tired throughout the day, your back muscles may try to compensate, risking injury. Additionally, if you have an undiagnosed underlying condition like a herniated disk, trying to lift heavy objects could aggravate it more, causing back pain.
• Broken finger or toe – Movers usually wear steel-toed boots to protect their delicate phalanges from anything dropped on them. However, most regular people don’t even own that type of shoe. Fingers break easily when caught in a door or under a heavy box in an awkward position.
• Sprained ankle – If you roll your ankle while carrying something heavy, chances are you will sprain it – or worse. Don’t risk it and hire same day moving help instead.

Hiring moving help is also a great idea because we are much more reliable than friends or family members who might flake at the last minute, no matter how much they love you. Plus, we have all the gear and accessories needed to make your move a success. You won’t be scrambling for a wardrobe box or a roll of tape on moving day. We come equipped with all that, plus dollies, moving blankets, and other things to protect your belongings.

Help with moving & storage is excellent because we know how to safely pack items into the moving truck so they will last the whole way, whether they are going 3 miles, 300 miles, or even 3,000 miles. Unless you have serious moving experience, you may end up with some broken or damaged items along the way if you do the job yourself. It’s best to let us handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on the other details of the move, your job, and your family.
