Snow shoveling is one of the most common causes of winter back injuries.

Before you head outside, take a few minutes to protect your spine:
✔️ Warm up your muscles
✔️ Lift with your legs, not your back
✔️ Keep the shovel close to your body
✔️ Avoid twisting while lifting
✔️ Take frequent breaks

A few smart adjustments can help prevent strains and serious injury.
