Happy Rainy Hump Day! It feels like Fall is coming, although we really aren't in a rush to have Summer come to an end.

As the weather starts to cool off, more of us get outside and stretch our legs for some short and longer runs. It feels amazing to get those endorphins flowing and always a priority to avoid any kind of running related injury to keep up with the activities that we love.

Something to consider in your cross training as a runner is working on a single leg bridge. In a study of 867 marathon runners preparing for the NYC marathon, those that could hold a singe leg bridge for at least 20 seconds had a 64% lower risk of developing a running related injury compared to runners who could only hold a single leg bridge for 0-9 seconds.

Do you have questions about a single leg bridge? How to build your endurance? Why does this matter? Reach out today to chat more with a therapist!

Happy Hump Day from Holmes PT!

We see patients with all kinds of goals - to recover from surgery, to carry their grandchildren, to return to running, to decrease pain. But, sometimes the goal is more abstract - to be healthier, to increase their lifespan, to improve their energy.

Today's hump day fact focuses on just that! A study of over 41,000 adults compared mortality for those who drank coffee only in the morning vs. those that drank coffee all day long. Regardless of how many cups were had, those who had morning only coffee had better sleep and a lower risk of mortality compared to people who drank coffee all day long and compared to people who drank no caffeine at all. For those who love a good cup of joe, definitely take a second to consider timing. As much as we love to toot our own horn as PTs and PTAs to say three sets of 10 squats can be life changing, so can a small adjustment in your daily routine.

We are always happy to take a deep dive into the literature to learn something new we can share with you as our patients.

Happy Hump Day from Holmes PT!

Cold plunges โ„๏ธ are becoming more and more common as a post-exercise recovery tool to "reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), reduce muscle swelling and improve muscle function/performance". However, a recent study showed that cold immersion post-workout actually ends up slowing recovery. The takeaway, if you want to continue with cold plunges, plan it before training as a pain reliever, not after for faster recovery!

*Limitations of this study include a small sample size (12 participants) and all males.

Reach out to us today to talk about next steps in your recovery!

Happy Hump Day!

Bursitis is a term many of our patients have been previously diagnosed with or self-diagnosed.

But, what is a bursa and what does bursitis mean? Do you have bursitis forever?

A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion. We have bursas all over our body, located between bones, tendons and muscles to help cushion movement. I always like to think of them as little water balloons strategically placed to help our body move better. Burs-"itis" means inflammation of the bursa and the most well known bursitis is "trochanteric bursitis". Next week, we are going to do a little myth busting about what trochanteric bursitis really means and the cause!

Are you struggling with hip pain, bursitis, or not sure what exactly is going on?

Reach out to Holmes PT today - we are happy to evaluate and recommend next steps!
