Your bones want you to exercise!

Osteoporosis or weak bones affects more than half of Americans over the age of 50.

Exercises that keep you on your feet like walking, jogging, or dancing, and resistance exercises, such as weightlifting, can improve bone strength or reduce bone loss.

Many of us working the 9-5 grind don't always have the option of taking multiple break through their work shift, especially if the nature of the work is very demanding.

This means sitting in one position for about 6-8 hours. This also means having both long and short term effects of sitting that could prove harmful to one’s health, including:

Weak Legs/Glutes
Stiff Neck/Shoulders
Anxiety & Depression
Tight Hips
Bad Back
Weight Gain

To avoid spinal stress you should do your very best to sit upright, making sure that your upper back is straight and that your lower back curves to the shape of the chair. If your chair doesn’t provide proper spinal support, don’t be afraid to bring a pillow or an extra jacket to work! Getting the proper support for your back is important because sitting improperly could lead to lower back pains and sprains

Why Do Seniors Fall?

In order to avoid the risk of falling for yourself, it’s important to understand why seniors fall. No one plans to take a fall and most seniors are not careless about their movements.

Strength and Balance:
Speaking of balance, the ability to maintain your balance with stabilizing muscles is another serious concern.

Multitasking:
Seniors who are trying to do two things at once are more likely to lose their footing or trip on something while unable to catch themselves or regain balance.

Dizziness:
Finally, it is not uncommon for seniors to become dizzy in the course of daily tasks. Getting up too quickly, running low on blood sugar, or sometimes with no apparent cause at all a dizzy spell can hit and you may find yourself falling.

Shoulder impingement, also known as sub-acromial impingement, is one of the most common shoulder injuries amongst swimming athletes.

More than 200,000 people in the U.S. have suffered from this form of shoulder pain. It is caused by connective tissue, or a tendon, rubbing on a shoulder blade.

Other athletes who use their shoulders often, such as baseball and tennis players, have been inflicted with shoulder impingement. Workers in the construction and moving industry have also been affected by this condition.

However, just like most physical injuries, there are plenty of treatment options available with our Pain and Injury Experts.

Neck discomfort or stiffness bothering you?

Most of us can recall one or more occasions when the day got off to a rough start because of a stiff neck. This can be explained by the fact that neck pain ranks among the most common types of pain you can get.

The likelihood of having neck pain increases as you get older, and different conditions are more common at certain ages.

Need help? Our Pain and Injury experts specialize in neck pain treatment.

National Physical Therapy Month.

During National Physical Therapy Month in October, we encourage you to learn about the many benefits of physical activity.

Physical therapists and physical therapist assistants play a critical role in helping Americans of all ages and abilities achieve their physical activity goals, and improve their quality of life.

General Physical Therapy Specialties:

Preventative Care:
You can seek out a physical therapist to help prevent pain and dysfunction? Physical therapists are happy to show you the warning signs of potential future issues.
These include how your body moves or doesn’t move correctly and
what weaknesses are present that may cause pain in the future

Balance Issues: Have you noticed that your balance isn’t quite as good as before? Do you feel unsteady on your feet and are more cautious about falling? You can start physical therapy to work on your balance deficits. It also helps you regain strength and proprioception in your lower legs to feel safer and steadier on your feet.

Work Ergonomics: Did you know that a physical therapist can analyze your desk, computer, and workstation? This information gives you ideas to make your ergonomic set up more pleasing to your body. You spend multiple hours at work each day. Shouldn’t you make sure your body is in the best position possible during this time to prevent injury?

Sport Specific Care: A physical therapist can take a look at your golf swing, running mechanics, baseball throw, and other specific sports movements to analyze what you are doing wrong.

Respiratory Care: Your physical therapist helps assist you with your breathing and heart issues. After a respiratory disease diagnosis, or you just have difficulty catching your breath while exercising, physical therapy helps battle your deconditioned lungs and heart. It also gets you back on track.

I don't have time is something we hear quite often.

Just remember!

Some physical activity is better than nothing. Try to fit in a few short bursts of physical activity a few times a day for a total of 30 minutes. Make sure that the activity increases your heart rate.

Parents should make physical activity part of their family's daily routine to establish a lifelong commitment to health for their children. Play an outdoor game like hopscotch or tag with the kids (playing is for adults too!).

If you're a caretaker, maintaining your health is vital to being there for those you love. Determine when it makes the most sense to fit small amounts of physical activity into your daily routine. If possible, include movement as part of the care you provide your loved ones. They need to move, too, and you'll both benefit.

"It's too late to start, I'm too old, or I've been physically inactive for a long time..."

It's never too late to get moving!!!

According to a recent open study, adding physical activity at any age has benefits. In addition to an increased life span, adding the recommended amount of physical activity for your age and ability to your daily routine can help you manage stress, improve memory and brain function, avoid chronic disease, and much more.

Finding the right plan for you is essential to your success. If you are having trouble meeting strength and conditioning goals, despite your best effort, our team of Pain and Injury experts can work with you to identify any issues and design a program to maximize your movement and enhance performance.

Manage Upper Back and Neck Strain...

Upper back and neck pain can stop you in your tracks, making it difficult to go about your typical day. The reasons behind this discomfort vary, but they all come down to how we hold ourselves while standing, moving, and most important of all sitting.

Causes of upper back and neck pain include:

✔️Improperly lifting something heavy
✔️Practicing poor posture
✔️Sports injury
✔️Being overweight
✔️Smoking

Our love of screens is also a likely culprit in upper back and neck pain. Sitting all day working on a computer screen, craning your neck to read the news on your phone on the way home, and slumping on the couch to watch several hours of television are great ways to throw your body out of alignment.

The Importance of Posture Breaks for Office Workers.

Many of us spend long periods of time working at a desk. If we do not sit properly, take regular breaks and adjust our furniture and equipment this can contribute to muscular and joint discomfort and pain.

✔️Sitting for long periods without adequate breaks or variety of work tasks may contribute to back pain.

✔️Headaches, neck ache, shoulder and arm pain can all be made worse
by the way people use computers.

✔️Using a keyboard or mouse can contribute to muscle fatigue, as well as aches and pains in shoulders, wrists and hands.

Research shows that taking frequent short breaks (micro-breaks) is more
effective in preventing aches and pains, than a single longer break in the middle of the day. It is important to remember that during these short breaks, you must move your body to maintain your blood circulation. Breaks as short as 20 seconds in length are better than no break at all.
