ORTHO TIPS | To Keep Your Golf Game Strong ⛳️

Whether you’re swinging for birdies or just out for fun, protect your joints and avoid injuries with these quick tips:

✅ Stretch it out. Loosen up your shoulders, hips, and back before you hit the first tee. A dynamic warm-up helps prevent muscle strain.
✅ Mind your posture. Poor stance can lead to back pain. Keep your spine neutral and knees slightly bent during your setup.
✅ Engage your core. Your power starts here—not your arms! A strong core supports your swing and protects your lower back.
✅ Use proper mechanics. Overuse injuries like golfer’s elbow often come from bad form. Don’t be afraid to take a lesson to fine-tune your swing.
✅ Stay flexible. Regular stretching improves your range of motion—a big bonus for your backswing and follow-through.
✅ Don’t play through pain. Soreness is common. Sharp, persistent pain is not. See a specialist before a small issue becomes a big problem.

We hope you’re able to celebrate golf month to its fullest—but remember, if something doesn’t feel right, our team is here to help you move better and play longer.

🌊☀️ STAY SAFE THIS SUMMER | Water Safety Tips From Your Ortho Experts 🦴💦

As the summer heat intensifies, there’s no better way to cool off than hitting the pool, beach, or lake. But while you’re enjoying the water, it’s important to keep safety top of mind—especially when it comes to preventing injuries like sprains, fractures, or even dislocations.

Here are a few tips to help you and your family stay safe this summer:

• Never dive into shallow or unknown water. Head and spine injuries are serious and can be life-altering.

• Use nonslip mats or surfaces around pools to help prevent slips and falls.

• Wear proper water shoes when walking on docks, decks, or rocky areas to protect your feet and improve stability.

• Supervise kids closely and make sure they are dressed in brightly colored swimwear that can be seen through water easily.

• Warm up and stretch before participating in water sports like wakeboarding, paddleboarding, or waterskiing.

• Know your limits. Fatigue can lead to accidents—take breaks and hydrate regularly!

Whether you're at the lake or lounging poolside, your health and safety come first. If you do experience an injury, our team is here to help you get back to summer fun as quickly and safely as possible.
