Back Pain Relief Can Happen

Well I am glad you have found us! Ease from back pain is possible after an injury.

Steps To Take To Avoid Injuring Your Back And How To Ease Back Pain

Prevention goes a long way to minimize back pain. Here is a list of some strategies you can use to prevent injury.

1. 1Use a small shovel or lift small amounts of snow. Better yet, rather than lifting the snow, push the shovel instead. Be sure to use your legs to create momentum.
2. 2Bend at the knees, not the back. This allows your strong leg muscles to do the lifting.
3. 3Avoid twisting the body. Instead, take a step and turn the whole body so the back isn’t being overworked.
4. 4Wear footwear with a thick tread and soft rubber. This type of footwear will keep you from slipping and falling in the snow.
5. 5Be sure to stretch your back and legs following snow shovelling. Your muscles will tighten as you work, so doing some gentle stretches will prevent the body from seizing up once you’ve stopped.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of strategies you can use to prevent injury when shovelling the snow. Injuries do happen, for whatever reason, it happens.
