❄️ Staying Safe on Ice & in Cold Weather ❄️
Slips and falls are one of the biggest causes of back, neck and wrist injuries when the temperature falls so here are a few simple tips can make a big difference:
✨Take short, slow steps – rushing increases strain and fall risk.
✨Keep your core gently engaged to support your spine.
✨Wear grippy footwear and avoid smooth soles.
✨Keep hands out of pockets to help with balance.
The cold weather can also tighten our muscles, so gentle movement and warming up before heading out can help protect your spine if you’re out in it for while.
Stay safe, stay steady! Team Vitae Spine & Wellness Centre.
