Looks like alot of snow heading our way this season, here are some tips from the healthcare professionals at Progressive Sports Rehab to keep you safe. When shoveling wet heavy snow take layers of snow as you go that aren’t heavier than you can lift.payday loans Bend your knees and lunge forward as you lift the shovel, use the stronger muscles of your thighs(quadriceps) to handle the weight and not compromise your lower back muscles. When dumping a heavy load of snow out of the shovel don’t twist your body with the weight, this motion should be rhythmical and fluid to avoid stressing the low back. Lastly, take frequent breaks to avoid fatigue and further compromise what could be weak muscles that aren’t used to an activity like snow shoveling. Stay safe this new year and keep all those resolutions going!!
