Hanging Christmas lights? 🎄✨
Let’s talk ladder safety!

Did you know that in 2018 there were 580,000 ladder-related injuries treated in medical settings? 😳

Let’s stay safe this season and prevent any falls by using ladders properly.

🔹 Engage your core while climbing to protect your back
🔹 Use the 4:1 rule
🔹 Make sure you're not climbing too high on your ladder

If you do experience a ladder-related injury, our physios and massage therapists are here to support your recovery and get you feeling your best again. 💪

Let us know if this was helpful and what other seasonal safety tips you want to hear from our team! 🎅🛠️
