Top 5 Winter Injuries Physiotherapists See - and How We Help! ❄️
Winter brings beautiful snow…and a few seasonal injuries we see every year. Here are the top culprits:
1️⃣ Slips & Falls
• Ice hides everywhere! These often cause ankle sprains, wrist injuries, bruising and occasionally concussions.
2️⃣ Low Back Strain
• Shovelling can overload the lower back, especially with wet, heavy snow. Muscles tighten and strain quickly.
3️⃣ Knee Injuries
• Icy sidewalks and winter sports can lead to ligament sprains, meniscus irritation or general knee pain.
4️⃣ Shoulder Strains
• Lifting snow, carrying gear, skating and hockey can irritate the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles.
5️⃣ Cold-Weather Muscle Tightness
• Muscles naturally tighten in the cold, making them more prone to pulls and strains when you’re active.
