If you look at any pictures of Muppets being performed overhead, you'll see the puppeteers in this position.

As Preston said, in a previous message, it is a matter of relaxing the back backward from the waist. This not only reduces the strain on the arm muscles but also the vocal muscles. I believe Nikki wrote a book on Acting With Puppets -- perhaps the P of A Bookstore carries it.
