❄️ Snow Shoveling Shouldn’t Put You on the Sidelines ❄️
Shoveling snow might seem harmless, but every winter we see a spike in:
🎇Low back strains
🎇Shoulder injuries
🎇Neck pain
🎇Flare-ups of old injuries
Common mistakes:
❌ Twisting while lifting
❌ Lifting too much at once
❌ Using just your arms instead of your legs
Quick tips to shovel smarter:
✔️ Push snow when possible instead of lifting
✔️ Bend at your hips and knees, not your back
✔️ Keep the shovel close to your body
✔️ Take breaks! Snow isn’t worth an injury
Already sore or tweaked something? Don’t “wait it out.” Physical therapy can help you recover faster and prevent it from becoming a bigger issue!

✨ Friendly Heads-Up for the New Year! ✨
As we roll into January, don’t forget… your “good” insurance is about to hit the reset button. 😅
Yes — deductibles and coinsurance start fresh, which means your insurance might suddenly start acting like it’s on vacation 🏖️ and not paying for much until those amounts are met.
So don’t be surprised if January feels a little… out-of-pocket. 😉
We’re here to help you navigate it and answer any questions!

Becky Roush has 30 years of experience and moved her private practice from Traverse City to Buchanan when she followed her husband, Chip, to our part of Michigan.
One of the challenges of any health facility is that we worry that people think pain is normal, or just part of the aging process. Soreness is normal, but pain may be trying to tell you something.
Becky can help people after traumatic injuries, but she also helps people who just need to figure out why they have a sore knee when they go downstairs. So, if you’ve been diagnosed with something like fibromyalgia, arthritis or a rotator cuff problem and aren’t sure what is safe for you to do at our health facility....Becky is the resource for that.
Becky has a sub-specialty in Pelvic Floor PT, so she can treat incontinence and other pelvic problems in men and women.
PT does not have to be a last resort, after you have tried everything else and not gotten the desired results. Try PT First!
