With the arrival of the snow in the mountains, your outdoor activities have likely increased. You may be enjoying skiing, sledding, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ice skating, or more! Even professionals have spills and falls when performing these types of activities. So it is expected that most people will experience several falls during the course of just one of these activities. Please be aware that these types of falls can create injuries from the impact of the fall as well as whiplash-type injuries to the neck.

Whether or not you have been working out or in training, this new activity is a change to your body and you are using different muscles in different ways. Extra pressure and strain are being put on your back and body, which can result in all sorts of problems and injuries.
