Running is amazing for your heart, but if your body isn't aligned, it can lead to injuries like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, or IT band syndrome.

Quick tips to stay injury-free:

1️⃣ Stretch your hamstrings and calves regularly to avoid tightness that can pull on your lower back.
2️⃣ Invest in proper running shoes to support your feet and prevent overpronation.
3️⃣ Pay attention to your gait—imbalances in your stride can place extra stress on your joints.

Fuel your spine with the right foods! 🥦 Your diet is vital in maintaining a healthy spine and overall wellness. Nutrient-rich foods support the bones, muscles, and connective tissues that keep your back strong and flexible.

Here are some nutrients to include in your diet:

🦴 Calcium & Vitamin D: Include foods like leafy greens, almonds, and fortified dairy or plant-based milk for bone strength.
2️⃣ Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Found in salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds, these reduce inflammation, which can contribute to back pain.
3️⃣ Anti-Inflammatory Foods: Bright-colored fruits and veggies (like berries, spinach, and sweet potatoes) help fight inflammation and heal.
4️⃣ Hydration: Stay hydrated. Aim for eight glasses of water daily or more if you’re active!

Why is it important to rehab an ankle after a sprain? 🤔

Many people follow the rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) protocol after an ankle sprain until the pain subsides. Once the pain is gone, they resume all their everyday activities.

The issue is that the function of the ankle might not be the same as before.

A recent review found that those with chronic ankle instability have different walking mechanics, which can increase the risk of suffering another ankle sprain!

This is why restoring ankle mobility and strength following an ankle sprain is important! 🙌
