EASIEST, SAFEST WAY TO SHOVEL ANYTHING.
No bending your back. No aching back. No chiropractor.
This is how I shovel, when I need to. "

We have these back-support bands that we use when shoveling snow..
They kinda work, but not that well.. Plus discomfort gets worse the longer it's on..

I had to shovel the other morning, and gave the rope idea a shot..
My wife used it first on the deck and she liked it..
I was able to clean off the walkways & driveway a little faster and didn't have any back pain!
It took an effort to remember, not to bend over..

Seems like something that people with back problems, might want to try..
