The doctor can advise whether shoveling is safe, and if so, how much.<\/p>\n<p>If you do get the go-ahead, taking frequent rest breaks is a good idea, Ford said in a clinic <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> release.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re in shape, warm up before your first scoop. Stretch out the muscles of the back, arms, shoulders and legs.<\/p>\n<p>Do a brief aerobic warmup to get the blood flowing, such as walking in place, hopping up and down, or even spending a few minutes on the treadmill, he suggested.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;re outside, lift with your legs\u2014not your back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Make sure you&#8217;re lifting from the center. Keeping your body upright, not reaching over,&#8221; Ford said.<\/p>\n<p>Using an ergonomic shovel, which has a longer, bent handle, will help prevent back pain, he noted. It enables a shoveler to stand straighter and not bend over as far.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Make sure that you can throw the snow in front of you,&#8221; Ford advised. &#8220;Don&#8217;t try to throw it over your shoulder or to the side because that&#8217;s when people really start to get those back injuries, shoulder injuries, and so forth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                The National Safety Council has more on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nsc.org\/community-safety\/safety-topics\/seasonal-safety\/winter-safety\/snow-shoveling?\">safe snow shoveling<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"article-main__note mt-4\">\n                                                Copyright \u00a9 2022 <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\">HealthDay<\/a>.
