Winter in Idaho usually means shovels are getting lots of use. Shoveling snow is a workout and preparing our bodies for this form of exercise is essential.
Snow shoveling is a repetitive activity that can cause muscle strain to the lower back and shoulders. Back injuries due to snow shoveling are more likely to happen to people who may not know that they are out of condition.
If you have low back pain, you are not alone. At any given time, about 25% of people in the United States report having low back pain within the past 3 months. In most cases, low back pain is mild and disappears on its own. For some people, back pain can return or hang on, leading to a decrease in quality of life or even to disability. Physical therapists help people with low back pain improve or restore mobility and reduce their pain.
Our physical therapists are movement experts. They improve quality of life through hands-on care, patient education, and prescribed movement.
