Do you send text messages often? Something to be cautious of: Text neck syndrome. A few things you can do to prevent neck pain while text messaging and using your phone are:

• Stand up straight or sit-up straight. Good posture keeps the body aligned.
• Raise your phone to eye level so your head doesn’t always have to be tilted.
• Stretch frequently. Arch your neck up to ease muscle pain.
• Stay in shape. A strong back is able to handle more stress.
• Take breaks. Spend time away from your phone.

Hiking is a fantastic way to absorb nature’s beauty while getting great exercise! If you plan on hiking on uneven terrain this summer, it’s important to pay close attention to avoid slips and falls that may lead to injury. Here are some tips:

• Stretch first!
• Find your stride and maintain a steady pace.
• Downhill: Heel first. As you descend, always keep your center of gravity well in check—that is, low and always over and slightly behind your legs.
• Observe your immediate environment for loose soil.
• Find the right shoes. A lighter shoe offers more flexibility, feel on the trail, and the ability for your toes to grip, which can help balance.

If you’re in need of orthopedic treatment or have any questions, call us at ☎️ 561-967-6500 today.
