🎄✈️ Holiday Travel Posture Tips ✈️🎄

If you’re hitting the road (or the skies!) this holiday season, your back and neck might feel the effects of cramped seats, long waits, and heavy bags. Here are a few PT-approved tips to keep you comfortable and pain-free:

1. Pack smart.
Use a rolling suitcase when possible and lift with your legs—not your back. Keep bags close to your body when placing them in overhead bins.

2. Support your spine.
Airplane and car seats aren’t exactly ergonomic. Roll up a jacket or small pillow and place it behind your lower back for better lumbar support.

3. Move every 45–60 minutes.
Stand, stretch, walk the aisle, or do gentle ankle pumps and shoulder rolls to keep blood flow moving and stiffness away.

4. Keep screens at eye level.
Avoid “tech neck” by raising your phone or tablet instead of bending your head forward for long periods.

5. Stay hydrated.
It helps reduce muscle tightness and keeps joints happy—especially during long flights.

Safe travels and happy holidays from your PT team!
If pain or stiffness lingers after your trip, we’re here to help you get moving again.

Some words from Donna after finishing her therapy with us following a knee replacement:

"Steve has a wonderful staff at Niagara Physical Therapy. They are kind, gentle, and professional all at the same time. My experience with them, in addition to healing, has been very pleasant at a very painful time. I wouldn't hesitate to have them take care of me if I would ever need therapy again."

Thank you Donna for the kind review! We were happy to be a part of your rehab process!

With the colder months approaching it is important to talk about fall prevention! According to the CDC, one in every four Americans aged 65 and older falls annually. Did you know that falls can be prevented and physical therapy can help you be more confident in the winter months!?

It has been researched and proven that physical therapy can help reduce falls by improving muscle strength and balance. We can also discuss safe habits at home such as removing throw rugs and keeping areas well lit at night.

Attached is a recent article diving deeper into this topic and how physical therapy can help reach your goals.

📲 Call us today at (716) 754-7220 to schedule a balance and mobility assessment - take steps now to prevent falls before they happen!
