Strategies For Protecting Your Spine This Fall

Your spine and body will experience some changes as the seasons start to change. It’s important that you prepare for these changes. Here’s what you can do to prepare:

  • Warm Up Before Doing Chores: Warming up before doing any chores can help to prevent any strains or injuries. 
  • Layer for Warmth and Mobility: Dressing in breathable layers can help you to stay warm without overheating. Using thin gloves while raking can help to improve your grip without over-squeezing, which can travel tension up the shoulders and neck.
  • Support your Vitamin D and Recovery: Your Vitamin D will start to go down as it transitions into fall since there will be less sun. It’s important to still maintain decent Vitamin D levels so that your body is healthy. A good way to get Vitamin D is to eat foods like milk and eggs.
