🧘‍♂️ Dynamic vs. Static Stretching: What’s the Difference & Why It Matters?
Whether you’re warming up for a workout or winding down after one, knowing when to use dynamic vs. static stretching can improve your performance and reduce your risk of injury.
👉 Dynamic Stretching
🔹 Performed before activity
🔹 Involves movement (e.g., leg swings, arm circles)
🔹 Warms up muscles & increases blood flow
🔹 Prepares your body for action!
👉 Static Stretching
🔹 Performed after activity
🔹 Holding a position for 20–30 seconds (e.g., hamstring stretch)
🔹 Helps improve flexibility & aids recovery
🔹 Best when muscles are already warm!
💡 Pro Tip from our PTs:
Don’t stretch cold! Always start with dynamic stretches to activate your muscles first.

📦💪 Protect Your Back When Lifting! 💪📦
Low back pain often starts with poor lifting mechanics. The way you pick things up—whether it’s a box, laundry basket, or even your kid—matters more than you think.
✅ PT Tip for Safe Lifting:
1️⃣ Squat, don’t bend. Bend at your hips and knees, not your back.
2️⃣ Keep it close. Hold the object close to your body for better control.
3️⃣ Lift with your legs. Engage your glutes and quads, not your spine.
4️⃣ Don’t twist. Turn your whole body instead of twisting your back.
Your spine will thank you! 🙌
💡 If lifting causes you pain or discomfort, let’s work together on core strength, hip mobility, and safe movement strategies to keep you strong and injury-free.
