I hope you had a great weekend. We have officially ushered in Spring at our house. We had a load of mulch delivered from Ace Hardware. :) I picked up some seeds for the veg. garden. I may try some marigolds. They attract bees which I need for the pepper plants. My plants under yielded last year, and as best as I could figure out (from on line) is that there were not enough bees around to pollinate the plants property. Of course, our big problem is always 1. deer, 2, Bunnies. One step at a time. We did our first big rake out of the beds, sprayed for weeds, did some rough weeding. Ready for the mulch.
I have attached an interesting article from Advanced Therapy on healthy exercise habits - most likely sent in an effort to keep us from becoming repeat customers. Yes, I have my graduation T-Shirt after i hurt my knee and had to go to rehab for 15 weeks.

Did you know that March is Athletic Trainer (AT) Month? Athletic trainers are more than just “those people in khaki” that run on the field when a player is injured. They work both on and off the field to make sure athletes can perform their sport safely. During games and practices, trainers provide early injury detection and intervention, a faster referral process to local specialists if required, and can offer concussion safety programs. During injury screenings, athletic trainers look to assess the injury, make recommendations on immediate care, and may provide a faster and safer return-to-play.
To help celebrate athletic trainers, we want to give you 8 trainer-approved healthy exercise habits. Spring is a great time to start an exercise program – so we might as well do it right!
1. Start Slow: Know your body and listen to it. Be honest, set achievable goals, and pick the right program. 2. Warm-up: Consider it personal protection. A proper warm-up supplies necessary nutrients to the body. Many aches and pains during a workout can be avoided with a proper warm-up. 3. Eat well: A good balance of proteins, carbs, and fats will provide the fuel to help get you on the right track. The appropriate post-workout meal will also aid in recovery. 4. Include more core: This is not just your six-pack abs. The “CORE” consists of everything from the diaphragm to the pelvic floor. Back, butt, and muscles around your pelvis included. Take time to do exercises that challenge these areas. 5. Stretch: Post-workout muscles often tend to tighten. Static stretching increases blood flow and assists in healing and recovery. 6. Cross-train: Try to avoid getting into single sport training for too long. Take time to train like athletes in other sports. This encourages coordination and proprioception. 7. Hydrate: Make a regular habit of drinking plain water throughout the day. Drink plenty of water and replenish fluids after a workout. 8. Rest: Give your body enough time to recover. Ample sleep aids in tissue repair. Avoid challenging the same muscle group over consecutive days.
Physical therapy and athletics go hand in hand. In many cases, your PT may be a former athlete that experienced an injury in their youth and, as a result, found a passion for rehabilitating others. If you are experiencing pain, or have already had an injury, don’t wait to talk to your physical therapist. The faster you ask for help, the faster you can get back into your sport. Contact us if you’re looking for help preventing or recovering from a sports-related injury. |
