Some tips for avoiding a trip to my office!
Tennis & Golfers' elbow are common injuries that tend to happen more commonly in the Summer. The good news is, steps toward the prevention of these injuries can be made.

1.) Warm-up and stretch often. Forearm exercises can be very beneficial for releasing elbow strain!
2.) Increasing handle size decreases the amount of grip force you have to have to hold the item.
3.) Break up your time. Doing one activity, such as tennis, for hours can cause a strain on your elbow.

Back to school is right around the corner! In 2013 there were 5,415 backpack related emergency room injuries reported. What many parents tend to overlook is the fact that their students backpack can take a toll on them. To help your child avoid issues down the road here are some backpack tips:
• Make sure your child’s loaded backpack is no more than 10%-15% of their weight
• When you are purchasing a new backpack for the school year make sure that both straps are able to tighten enough so that the backpack fits closely to the body
• Choose a backpack with wide, padded straps, and ideally a padded back. Narrow straps may dig into the student’s shoulder
