Massage is Therapy for Shin Splints
Your shins seem like an unlikely place to need massage, but just pressing on your shins if you have shin splints should confirm that there are muscles there, and that they’re under stress. A good neuromuscular massage can relieve shin splints.

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning is Common in Winter Months
Furnaces, fireplaces and other heating elements can produce carbon monoxide if not properly ventilated. If you find yourself using something other than your furnace to heat the area you’re in, make sure there is at least a crack in the door or windows of the room or car you’re in.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include: dizziness, headache, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, difficulty breathing and chest pain.
Unfortunately, the cherry red skin color that we’re all taught to look for is often a symptom that occurs so late that the carbon monoxide exposure is already dire.
Take some pro-active steps to ensure your home is safe. Install carbon monoxide detectors along with your smoke detectors.
If you’re in a cabin or other remote location, a stand-alone carbon monixide detector should be among your gear.
And if you find yourself stuck in a car and need to keep the engine running for heat, leave a window cracked, and get out every so often to make sure the tail pipe has not become covered in snow.

Slip and Fall Prevention Should Be Top-of-Mind in Winter
Snow, freezing rain and ice make surfaces difficult to navigate and increase the risk of falls along with associated injuries such as fractures, sprains, strains and head injuries.
If you’re on a slippery surface, take short steps and walk slowly.
Try to establish three points of contact such as a rail or other stable structure as you walk.
Avoid carrying anything in your hands while on a slippery surface as you need your hands free for balance.
If you do take a fall, a good neuromuscular massage will help relieve your aches and pains.

Dealing with Injuries Related to the Cold Weather
Frostnip is the mildest of cold-related injuries but should still be taken seriously. Typically it affects any skin that remains uncovered for a period of time in cold temperatures. You may find you have a pale appearance, burning, itching, pain, tingling or numbness in your face, ears, toes and fingers. Rewarming the affected areas is often sufficient with no permanent damage to the skin.
Frostbite is more serious, and occurs with prolonged exposure to cold temperatures.
While you may feel the same symptoms as frostnip, the skin and underlying tissues are freezing and need attention. Frostbite symptoms may also include blisters, firm-feeling skin, a loss of sensation in the area, and changes in color from red and cold, to pale yellow, to grey or black. Everything beyond red and cold may require medical attention.
Hypothermia is a severe cold-weather injury with symptoms that can include confusion, memory loss, drowsiness, slurred speech, exhaustion and death. Anyone who is suspected of suffering from hypothermia should seek medical attention immediately.
