How to walk on ice to prevent injury? Big Tips. :) Where the right shoes. Get proper snow and ice soles on your going out shoes or if you just here for a short stay consider those strap on ice spikes. About 1,000 Yen from Homak and they work brilliantly although remember to take them off when you get inside or the restaurant will not be too happy with you. Keep your hands free from items and slightly outstretched Take small shuffling steps with your weight well over the front foot and keep your feet underneath your centre mass. Bend your knees slightly and should you feel your balance go drop your weight evening onto both legs If you do fall. Do not put out your arm ! It is very likely to fracture on ice. Simply tuck your head forward, round your shoulders and try to fall on your side as you breath out forcefully. It may sound strange but itโs actually really worth practising how to fall safely on soft snow so if you do go down on ice you already have the right muscle memory. #icewalk #icewalking #injury #prevention #preventativehealth (at Centre of Balance Acupuncture Clinic in Hamilton & Cambridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B55tcUpgcQO/?igshid=2rmxgopayu77
