Living in Ann Arbor certainly has benefits, but, the winters can seem really long.  One of my least favorite aspects of winter is that I seem to injure my back more often because my muscles are cold.

Usually I am reaching for something in the car or in the garage, sometimes I’ve had problems when I am shoveling snow.

Whatever causes the issue, a good warm back massage always helps.

I wonder if anybody has ever studied the number of back injuries as a function of weather. Interesting topic, yes?
