The holiday season can be emotionally taxing to be sure—but have you ever thought about how physically taxing it can be? Shopping til you drop, decorating, and lifting heavy presents can all contribute to neck, shoulder, and back injuries. Here are some tips to keep you from getting hurt so you are not out of commission for that party or upcoming ski trip.
DECORATING
From hanging holiday lights to getting those dusty boxes out from the attic, this season is filled with a lot of lifting. Unfortunately, all of that lifting can lead to injuries if you’re not careful! Here are some tips to keep you from getting hurt so you are not out of commission for that party or upcoming ski trip.
SHOPPING WITHOUT DROPPING
When heading out to the mall, keep these ideas in mind:
BAKING

KEEP MOVING!

If we aren’t careful, the holidays can be a pain in the neck—literally! This holiday season take precautions in order to keep aches and injuries at bay.
