You always lift with your legs, NEVER your back. If you lift with your back you will cause your back injury.
To lift anything heavy, you bend down, having your back in a straight up and down position and place your feet at about 2 feet apart, bending your legs down. Then you lift..
If manually moving things with your hands, you use the same technique above otherwise if things are to heavy for you to life, use a manual fork lift or machine operated fork lift. You can also use the buddy system, using two people to lift a heavy object, using the same technique above for both people is always safer then trying to lift something that is really heavy by yourself.
