As a physical therapist I see a lot of injuries in the winter. You would think it’s a lot of slips and falls or ski/snowboard related winter activities, but would you believe the most common injuries I see in the clinic through the winter months are actually related to snow removal?! It’s the dang snow shovel that’s hurting everyone! Think of it – you’re usually cold, you get fatigued, your bending over and trying to lift and twist to throw the snow off the driveway… it’s a recipe for disaster! I was invited to go on Studio 5 (a Utah lifestyle show) to talk about this very thing and what you can do to avoid injury the rest of this winter. Check out the video below!
