Brits have been warned to stay inside in the cold weather, to avoid trips and falls that could result in broken bones, increasing pressure on hospitals and potentially physiotherapists.
The Welsh Assembly has given the NHS £110 million to help it cope with the added pressure of winter and keep patients out of hospital.
Welsh health minister Edwina Hart warned of the danger of the snow and ice and said that she would not have left the house if she did not have to work.
"It's always ironic when people describe snow as pretty. I used to think that until I became Health Minister - now it's an accident waiting to happen and very dangerous if you're frail or elderly," she said.
This follows findings published in journal Spine that early physiotherapy in the case of lower back pain could reduce the need for further treatment later on.
