Still thawing out after Hockey Day!

Hockey Day delivered record-breaking cold (-8°!) as the Iowa Wild took the ice in the coldest outdoor professional hockey game ever.

Cold weather doesn’t mean you have to stop running, but it DOES mean your body needs a little extra care.

When temperatures drop, muscles and joints tend to tighten, which can increase your risk of strains or injury. Taking time to warm up before heading outside can make a big difference. Try starting with light movement indoors to get blood flowing before your run.

Dressing in breathable layers helps regulate body temperature, and being mindful of icy or uneven surfaces can help prevent slips and falls.

Listening to your body is important. If pain or stiffness sticks around, it may be time to have it checked out.

Staying active is important, but staying healthy is essential.

Not sure if you’re dealing with a sprain or a fracture? Here are some clues…

Sprains often come with swelling and bruising but allow some movement.
 Fractures usually cause sharper pain, difficulty walking or using the limb, and sometimes visible deformity.

When in doubt, get it checked. Our team can assess your injury and provide on-site imaging to get you answers fast.
