How to lift a heavy load correctly

Keep your feet apart and stand near the object. Bend at the knees, pick up the load, and rise slowly, using your legs to do so, never on your back, until your knees are straight.

If you're travelling with a luggage, get a suitcase with wheels.

Avoid lifting anything too heavy.

Good standing posture can be gauged by standing against a wall. Only the shoulder blades and buttocks should touch the wall.
