Back hurts from pulling door down

[Round the block again]

I been a driver for a long time now my back is starting to act up. I pull the rear door down the right way and open the doors right but guess after so long middle of my back hurts. Wondering if anyone here has same problem. And any advice how to get better. Aspirin and resting helps. Just trying to make it one more year here. Thanks

Have your mechanic adjust your rear door and lube it up good. That's all I got

You do realize mentioning rear door and lube is going to attract a certain individual to this thread?

Have the mechanics fix the door for you, explain it to them in person. And from now on, lift the sliding door with your legs as much as possible.

Try doing some planks at home and see a chiropractor. Increasing your core strength will help more than you might think

Start off 3 sets of 30 seconds every other night and increase in intervals of 5 seconds every week. 1 Minute rest. Don't bother going past 3 minutes of planking because going over 3 minutes doesn't do anything but cardio

Just leave it open. No more back problems and you’ll have a lot less to deliver

Overhead doors get bad for more reasons than I can list. Equal cable tension is key. Just remember most operator tension adjustments work both ways. I try to keep.them as neutral as possible. PS- Don't lift the door with the latch handle.

Always fun when the door springs break.

Never had the spring break.

Have had plenty of cables break—-that sucks!

At least the spring mostly lets go with the door down.

If the door isn't down, it will be. Emphatically.

Door tuning is a specialty of mine.

Everybody tells me the cables are broken when the spring pops.

When one side goes you can expect the other side to fail soon also.

I had trucks that were hard to open no matter what was done to them. Misaligned tracks I think. POS Workhorses.

I haven't found a rollup.door yet that I couldn't make work right.
