I’m thinking about spring, but looking at snow on Aquidneck Island(Newport, Middletown, Portsmouth),RI. The good news is that this time it’s a light snow for shoveling. You should still use good body mechanics: bend your knees, keep your back straight, push rather than throw the snow, don’t lean too far out, do slow warm up stretches before and after you shovel. Of course if you do run into a problem, I am ready to assist you with gentle/specific Activator Methods Chiropractic at Aquidneck Chirpractic.
