Shoveling Snow – 3 of My Best Tips to Help You Avoid Another Agonizing Back Pain Episode

Brooke Olsen |

Although we don’t get too many days of heavy snow, it’s fair to say that when we do, it comes pretty thick.

I’ve had many people recently talk about snow shoveling back pain episodes. So, in order to help you prevent one on the next snow fall – I made a video of My Top 3 Tips when it comes to shoveling techniques.

Take a peek below to learn more:

Now, my #1 tip will always and forever be – push with your legs and body.

If this is something that is feasible in your scenario, it’s always the safest. Not all areas allow us to do this though.

Therefore, at times we must learn how to pick up a pile and throw it off to the side –

BUT –

If you are not used to this motion – in addition to a heavy weight (aka snow) – then your body may repetitively be loaded in a movement it’s not trained for.

This is where many get into trouble.

That’s why it’s important to stay strong, stay active, stay flexible, know how to train appropriately for daily movements, and MOVE your body. This way, you can bend down, scoop a load and throw it off to the side. * INSERT HIGH FIVE*
