  Speaker 1: Time now for back to the basics and health care
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: with Balance Life Chiropractic. We have doctor Harley with us. Hello,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: doctor Harley, Hey John. They say it's the most wonderful
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: time of the year. They are a bunch of liars.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: There's snow out there. I don't like that.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're probably in the minority right now. It's
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: always nice having snow run Christmas time. Ah humbug.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: No, here's the thing. I think snow is beautiful, but
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: just a little bit of snow and they can just
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: show up and then they can leave right away. We
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: don't need it sitting around all this And then we
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: got done snow and guess what I did, snowed some more. Right.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: You know, I've heard that we might have a pretty
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: snowy winter, So I'll welcome to your ready John.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Well. For people who like me have gone out and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: pushed the snow and maybe even found out that, oh
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not as tough as I used to be, it
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: might be a good idea for them to seek some help,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: chiropractic help, and maybe somebody to shovel your sidewalk, but
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: chiropractic help for sure.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Right. Yeah, If you're someone that's going to be doing
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: your own snow shoveling snow removal this winter, Seeing a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: chiropractor might be a good idea before that next snowstorm.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Now, what are some things that people should know before
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: they go out and tackle the snow? Are there things
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: that I can do to make myself maybe a little
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: less susceptible to problems?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Definitely stretch and warm up, like you're about to go
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: work out. You might not think of it as a workout,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: but you know, depending on how big of an area
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you have to move snow, how heavy the snow is,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: how much snow we got, it's quite a workout. So
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: if you haven't done that in a while, definitely good
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: to get prepared. Do some stretching, you know, get your
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: muscles warmed up and like, because if you don't and
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you go out and you're out there for twenty thirty
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: minutes in that snow and cold, you're inna tense up,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: tighten up, really prone to pulling muscles. You could throw
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: your back out And that's just immediate things you might notice,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you know, if you don't do that beforehand, and you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: go out and do your snow moving and then you
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: go to bed and sit down, relax for a while
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: or whatever you're doing. After you move your snow, you're
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: gonna stand up move. Oh do I hurt so bad
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: because your muscles are complaining about how much work. You
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: just put them.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Through and you can take your time. It's not like
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: there's you know, a race. You're not racing the neighbor.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Even if they're out there and they're going faster than you,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: you're not racing them. Just take your time. And then
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: you were talking about, you know, stretching and warming up,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and I also think make sure you bundle up to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: stay warmed up.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: That is also true. Yeah, until you start, you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: sweating and you're hot and one now, then you can
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: maybe take off a couple of airs. So I'd say
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: put on lots of layers and then you can take
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: off those heavier outer layers as you're getting warmed up.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I shared a photo the other day on Facebook from
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: this is probably five years ago at least, but I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: was shoveling the sidewalk. I was wearing crocs and a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: swimming suit and a robe, so not surprised. Yeah, that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: was quite the sexy look. My wife saw me out
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: there and doing that. It's like I got to snap
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: a picture of this idiot. So again, bundle up. It's
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a good idea because it's it's safer, but also you'll
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: feel better too.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And make sure using proper you lifting techniques. Lift with
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: your legs, not your back as you're pushing moving that snow.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Try not to twist as you're moving it, you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: just throw it forward as you're moving that snow. If
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: you're using a shovel.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: There you go. And I encourage you to move in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: next door to somebody with a snowblower and be nice
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to them.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: There you go, or are the neighborhood kid.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: There you go. That's it's also a very good plan.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Stewart is our neighbor. He is wonderful and we love
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: him dearly. If somebody listening is going, hey, I don't
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: have all that, John, but I do have a sore
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: back from shoveling my sidewalk. How do they connect with you?
• 3:21

• 3:24
