As Mother Nature and climate change throw more curveballs at us, it is important to stay safe on the ice. The last thing you want to do is slip and fall. We LOVE to treat you, but we would much rather keep you healthy, active, and injury-free. Here is a great strategy to ensure that!!

Many of these injuries are preventable with the right footwear and traction tools.
