With a December snow storm on its way - and over 100 active weather alerts issued for Ontario - we want to help you avoid pain or injury while clearing the snow so you can enjoy your holidays. So, if you don't have access to a snow blower this week, follow these tips!

1. Push the snow to one side and avoid throwing it. If you must throw it, avoid twisting. Position yourself to throw straight at the snow pile.

2. Lift with your knees and use your leg and arm muscles to do the pushing and lifting while keeping your back straight.

3. Be careful on icy walkways and slippery surfaces. Use ice melt product, winter boots and ensure you have a good footing.

4. Dehydration isn’t just a summer issue! Drink plenty of water during strenuous winter activities like snow shovelling.

5. If you experience pain while shovelling snow, consult a chiropractor. They are your local spine, muscle, and joint experts!
