Thank you for hosting an amazing ladies night at ! It was so nice to slow down, relax, visit and do something healing for my body.
Salt room (halotherapy) can be used to help respiratory, sinus or skin issues and is so relaxing. It felt like putting my feet in the sand at the beach 🏖️

💊Exercise is medicine!
🩺You can exercise with almost any medical condition … and almost every condition will improve with exercise… HOWEVER … it is important to make sure you are taking steps to exercise safely.
👩‍⚕️It is never a bad idea to check in with your doctor to make sure you are good to start something new.
🏃🏽‍♂️If you have never trained for a race before, start low and go slow ➡️ using a walk to run 5k progression is probably best.

Back pain is all too common! 😖
Here are a few quick suggestions from a physical therapy perspective on how to manage your pain at home when it first flares. 🏠🙆‍♀️🏡

🚩🚩There are several “red flags” when home management may not be appropriate and you should seek medical attention immediately 👩‍⚕️🏥🩻 (ex. new difficult difficulty controlling your urine or a stool -leakage or retention, numbness in your groin, numbness or weakness in both legs at the same time, etc)… aside from those with red flags symptoms, most people can start self-care at home. If your symptoms are not improving with home care after a few weeks or progressively worsening, you should also get seen. 🚩🚩

The literature is clear, the most effective treatment for back pain is gentle movement 🙆‍♂️ and gentle aerobic exercise 🏃‍♂️as tolerated. Incorporating physical therapy early help minimize pain symptoms, return you normal activities 🏌️‍♂️sooner and help prevent future flares.

Try to avoid back pain by using proper lifting mechanics!
1. Hold objects close to your center of gravity.
2. Lift with your legs, never hinge from the waist.
3. Don’t lift and twist at the same time.
