Snow Shoveling Tips

Winter is upon us and with that comes snow. Here are a few tips to help keep your back safe while shoveling.

Use a plastic shovel. They are light and snow slides off easily.
Don't twist and throw snow. This will reduce the strain on your back.
Try to push the snow rather than lift it.
If you have to lift the snow, make sure you bend your knees and waist, and use your legs! This will reduce the strain on your low back.

If you hurt your back shoveling this winter, make sure to ice the area immediately and Contact Us for a check up.
