Personality-wise, Tracie Garacochea says she's no "grandma' who sits around and knits. No, Tracie, a 65-year-old with multiple sclerosis, performs impressive stunts at the skatepark in her wheelchair. All this, despite taking what she calls "a little tumble."

Tracie was attempting an otherwise routine run at the skatepark, when she lost control and face-planted onto the concrete. She broke her left elbow and wrist. She also had a separated shoulder and some "gnarly" scrapes on her face, as a friend described it.

Tracie began physical therapy with the spirit and determination of an elite athlete. She worked on progressive strengthening, stretching exercises to improve range of motion and received manual therapy to break up scar tissue. Only two months after the accident, she was back at the skatepark performing the trick that originally injured her. In fact, she says she feels even stronger than before.

As summer activities pick up, so does the temperature. That's why it's essential to be aware of the signs and symptoms of a heat cramp.

These muscle spasms typically occur after excessive exercise in hot environments. They can be longer and more painful than regular cramps.

Prevention starts by remaining hydrated while exercising. Avoid alcohol, caffeine and limit vigorous activity outdoors on extremely hot days.

If experiencing pain that may be heat cramps, take these steps:

- Rest and cool down
- Drink clear juice or a sports drink with electrolytes
- Perform gentle stretching or massage to relieve pain

Call a doctor if cramps last longer than an hour.

Do not resume strenuous activities for several hours after the cramps have dissipated.

Knowing your limits will help keep summer fun and pain-free.

Summer create the perfect conditions for insects and the diseases they can carry. To help you and your loved stay safe, check out these tips.

Wear repellant outside to help avoid stings and bites.

Long pants and long-sleeved shirts can work as a great barrier from ticks and mosquito bites.

Avoid standing water in your yard, as mosquitos like to lay eggs there.

Check your skin and hair for ticks after you've been in the woods. Ticks can carry diseases like Lyme and Anaplasmosis, both of which can have deadly consequences if left untreated.

If you do encounter any insect and appear to have an allergic reaction, seek treatment. Symptoms can include hives, nausea, fever or trouble breathing.

Have a safe and insect-free summer!
