Are You Losing Your Balance?

✨Around 1 in 3 adults over the age of 65 have at least one fall a year. Half of adults over the age of 80 have one fall a year.

👉Fall prevention is possible with these few steps

✨Remove fall hazards and clutter from your home to make your environment safer to navigate

✨Place night lights around your home

✨Wear proper and supportive shoes

✨Stay active and in shape! One of the major reasons people fall is due to weakness in the body and the inability to “catch oneself”

✨Performing strengthening and balance exercises is a great way to prevent falls

To learn more about how you could improve your balance please contact Dr. Menachem Horowitz PT, DPT, COMT at 058-740-2512.

Manual Therapy Following a Sports Injury

✨Research has shown that athletes who receive manual therapy following sports injuries return to pre-injury state more quickly than those who don't

✨Manual therapy has positive effects on the neuromuscular system which has a direct connection with the strength and function of a muscle

✨Manual Therapy decreases pain of the injured area on a faster scale

✨Manual Therapy assists the injured muscle to regenerate and repair , decrease swelling, improve flexibility, and ultimately leading to a more complete recovery

Stretch To Prevent Injury

✨Our muscles consist of thousands of muscle fibers which control the forces moving through the musculature

✨These muscle fibers shorten and elongate with a desired movement

✨When muscles stay static for a long period of time they eventually shorten, become tight, and aren't as responsive to movement

✨If these muscles are suddenly challenged and not “warmed up” to movement this could increase the chance of a strain or tear of a muscle

✨Stretching maintains the flexibility and responsivenes of the musculature

✨ Stretching has many benefits for the whole body and every little bit can make all of the difference

Your body mechanics and posture are important!

✨Different body positions apply different amounts of pressure on your vertebral discs

✨Avoid bending down and leaning over when picking up an object, as it applies more pressure to your vertebral discs and risks injury

✨Try and squat when picking up an object and focus on your body mechanics and position

✨Changing your posture is a lifestyle change

✨It takes postural awareness, exercise, and sometimes hands on work, to change posture in a more permanent way

✨If you are someone that suffers from back or neck pain then it might be important to get your posture checked by a physiotherapist

✨A physiotherapist will explain all the nuances of your posture and what you will need to do to improve it
