Wellness Wednesdays: As the kids head back to school, check their backpacks to be sure they're not too heavy! Backpacks should be no more than 10-20% of your child's body weight. Too much weight carried at these young ages can cause back, neck and shoulder pain.

Take time to touch nature every day! Many days we "see" nature - we drive to work or look out the window. But we need take time each day to actually "touch" nature. Take time to touch a tree or stick your feet in the grass. Feel the silkiness of a flower or the roughness of a rock. Staying in touch with nature can reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, and lead to greater life satisfaction!

Wellness Wednesdays: Summer is Road-Trip Time! If you're planning a long car ride this summer, here are a few tips to help prevent or assist with back pain while you travel:
- Keep your back pockets empty so your hips are level
- Sit up straight to keep your spine aligned
- Get out and move around every 2 hours, more often if you have low back pain
- Shift positions at least every 15-20 minutes.
- Keep your back aligned with against the back of the seat, using a lumbar cushion or place a towel between your low back and the seat to provide support
- Try heat or ice therapy. Heat helps relax muscles and ice can help reduce inflammation. Use therapies for 15-20 minutes at a time.
