Recovery is Not Optional

Here's what many parents don't realize: rest days are as important as training days. During rest, muscles repair and grow. Young athletes need at least one full rest day per week. They also need 8-9 hours of sleep each night, but even more so is high quality sleep!

Watch for signs your child needs more rest. Are they more tired than usual? Getting sick often? Complaining of aches and pains? These are red flags that they're overdoing it. Reach out to our Doctors of Physical Therapy so we can advise you on how to do recovery day as well as we do training and game day!

The Power of a Proper Warm-Up

Never skip the warm-up! A good warm-up is like starting your car on a cold morning. It gets everything moving smoothly. Spend 10 - 15 minutes doing light cardio and dynamic stretches. Think leg swings, arm circles, and gentle lunges. Save static stretching (where you hold the stretch) for after practice.

Summer Activities Put Backs at Risk

Summer brings unique challenges for back health. Long road trips, heavy luggage handling, gardening projects, and increased physical activity can all stress the spine and surrounding muscles. The PTs and PTA report seeing a significant increase in back pain cases during summer months, particularly related to travel and yard work injuries.
"We see the pattern every year," explains the team at . "People go from relatively sedentary winter routines straight into intense summer activities without properly preparing their bodies. A strong core is the foundation of back health, but most people don't realize how important these muscles are until they're already hurting."

The Core Connection

The clinicians at emphasize that effective back pain prevention includes understanding your core. This muscle group acts like a natural back brace, providing essential support for the spine during daily activities. When core muscles are weak, the back must compensate, leading to strain and pain.

The core system includes four key muscle groups: deep abdominal muscles, spinal support muscles, pelvic floor muscles, and the diaphragm. uses simple exercises that target all these areas without requiring gym equipment or extensive time commitments.

Professional Support When Needed

While many back issues respond well to simple exercises and lifestyle changes, Life In Motion PT encourages people to seek professional evaluation for persistent problems. Warning signs that warrant professional attention include pain lasting more than several days, pain radiating down the legs, numbness or tingling, or pain following an injury.

"Prevention is always better than treatment," notes the team. "A few minutes of daily attention to core strength and proper movement can prevent weeks of pain and limitation later."

Daily Strategies for Back Health

The PTs and PTAs at Life In Motion PT recommend these quick stretches to keep your back healthy and moving on busy days:

Cat-Cow movements help maintain spinal mobility. Performed on hands and knees, this gentle movement keeps joints flexible.

Knee-to-chest stretches relieve tension in the lower back and can be done anywhere there's floor space.

Child's pose provides gentle stretching for the entire back and can help reset posture after long periods of sitting.
