Chances of a "white Christmas" are high, with snow on the ground and in the forecast. With snow, comes the dreaded chore of shoveling. This spine wellness blog entry, will provide a few tips to help you avoid neck and back pain.  

• Stretch - think of snow shoveling as exercise and stretch before you begin!
• Push - move the snow forward, rather than lifting when possible.
• Avoid twisting - do not lift the snow and throw it over your shoulder.
• Proper technique - when lifting the snow, use proper body mechanics, lifting from your legs and do not bend from your waist.
