Happy Wednesday! Todays wellness topic is about… Daily Movement 🧘‍♀️🤸🏋️👟

Did you you know daily movement and exercise can have many benefits in all aspects of your life?

Planning to exercise everyday can seem daunting and sometimes not possible. But it doesn’t have to be so scary! And doesn’t mean you need a gym membership.

As little as 30 minutes per day of moving your body can have incredible benefits! And you don’t have to complete it all at once.

Some daily exercise can include:
- Taking the stairs instead of an elevator
- Going on a walk around the block on your break
- Finding a fun exercise class you enjoy
- Bring a friend, spouse, or child with you to exercise
- Picking up a new hobby like pickle ball, cycling, hiking, yoga, or pilaties

Take a break and move your body, you deserve it!

Wellness Wednesday: Hydration Edition 💧

The impact of staying hydrated has moved toward a future in the health and wellness arena in the past decade. Most Americans have access to clean water with the turn of a k**b or push of a button. We can drink it straight up, on the rocks, bubbly, or with added flavor. It all counts! No matter the easiest way for you to get your water intake, the important part is staying hydrated!

If flavored drinks is something you enjoy, you can spice up your water with lemons, cucumber, lime… etc. Make it fun!

Here are some common misconceptions:

❌ If you’re no thirsty, you are properly hydrated
✅ Fluid levels in your body can drop fairly low before you feel thirst
❌ Sports drinks are the best way to keep you hydrated
✅ Sports drinks can help after a hard workout by replacing electrolytes. But they often have additives or fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and added sugar.

After a little break… Wellness Wednesdays are back! 🧘🤸🏋️

Today we are busting the fitness myth that stretching prior to exercise will prevent injury. The best time to stretch is after activity performance!

Why? Static stretching has been shown to reduce strength and power stored in a muscle. Since reduced strength is a risk factor for soft tissue injury we want to make sure that our muscles are prepared to perform their best.

What should I do instead? An activity specific dynamic warm up can help to warm up your joints and muscles.

Please remember to consult with your therapist if you have any questions or concerns!

Happy Wellness Wednesday: Protect your hands! 🙌

We obviously rely on our hands for most/ all activities of daily living, so it is important to take good care of them.

Our hands are often susceptible to injuries such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and some forms of arthritis to name a few common injuries. These are usually related to occupation, recreation, and age.

Some symptoms of these injuries include; numbness and tingling in your fingers, joint pain in thumb or fingers, and muscle burning in your forearm.

Check out this post to see our Certified Hand Therapist, Jeff Wagner in action and what he suggests!

Happy (belated) Wellness Wednesday! 🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏋️
Today we are debunking the fitness misconception: “No Pain No Gain”

Discomfort of muscle soreness from exercise can be described as dull, tight, or burning and will usually go away after 24-48 hours.

Joint discomfort or physical pain is not a healthy response to exercise and should not be ignored! This type of pain is primarily described as:
- sharp
- localized to the joint
- pain associated with swelling
- pain that gets worse as you continue to exercise
- pain associated with a ‘pop’

If you are experiencing any symptoms described, stop the exercise and consult with your physical therapist.

Happy Wellness Wednesday! 🧘🏋️‍♂️

Today’s topic is lifting mechanics, here are some key tips to keep in mind when hitting the gym. Check out the pictures to see poor and corrected form while lifting!

- Hinge from your hips

- Engage your legs and core, not your back when lifting

- Get close to the object you’re lifting and keep your arms close to your body throughout the lifting process

- Avoid twisting with your back when moving an object. Instead use your feet to change your direction to avoid potential injury

You can utilize these tips when lifting weights at the gym or even moving heavy objects at home. Happy lifting!

It’s Wellness Wednesday! 🧘

Do you have back pain when sitting at a desk? Check out our at home tips and fixes.

Sitting all day can be problematic for your back and neck. Even with good posture, long term sitting at a desk can cause pain. However poor posture increases yours chances of having low back and neck pain. Here are some things to consider when sitting for most of the day:

- Slouch sitting lends you rounded low back and forward head position. It is important to pay attention to your bodies position when sitting.

- It is essential to maintain the curve in your low back, which will help keep your upper back and neck in proper position.

- Round low back and forward head position can lead to low back and neck pain.

There are many other things to consider when adjusting posture such as desk height and computer/ monitor position.

We hope this helps! Happy Wednesday!
