7 Tips to Avoid Snow Removal Injury During harsh winter months avoid

injuring your back while shoveling snow

Warm Up before starting to shovel Doing stretching exercises could keep you from injuring yourself

Use the right size shovel for your height--something lightweight and long enough to alleviate some of the stress on your lower back

Use proper lifting techniques Hold the load toward close to your core Avoid bending forward and twisting which could injure your discs

Wear shoes or boots with good tread and put down some salt sand or kitty litter to keep from slipping on any ice

Pace yourself Take frequent breaks Divide and con-quer and stay hydrated too

If possible use a snow-blower instead of shoveling Use the reverse gear if available when backing up instead of pulling it back

The best tip of all thoughhellipconsider having someone with a younger stronger back do it for you if possible

Take it from someone who has injured his own back a time or two (and I should know better) I hope you feel great all winter long If you should injure yourself however I would be more than happy to help straighten you out Give me a call
