❄️ Snow is coming to PG! ❄️ Stay Safe While Shoveling!
As winter goes on and we’re forecasted for snow this week, it’s time to break out the shovel. But before you get to work, remember - shoveling incorrectly can lead to painful back and muscle injuries! Here are a few quick tips to help you shovel safely:
✅ Lift with your legs, not your back - Bend your knees and keep your back straight as you’re lifting snow.
✅ Push, don’t lift - Try to push the snow instead of lifting heavy loads. You could also try lifting smaller loads of snow at a time.
✅ Use a lightweight, ergonomic shovel - A good shovel can make the difference.
✅ Take breaks - Don’t overexert yourself. Rest and stay hydrated.
But if things don’t go as planned and you end up feeling sore or strained, we’re here to help! Call us today at PG Family Chiropractic to schedule your appointment and keep your body in top shape this winter!
