Tips to recover for exercise and prevent injury:

During exercise, the body undergoes a controlled amount of stress. Tissues in our bodies need this stress in order to improve their function and your performance. In fact, when you exercise, your muscles actually undergo “micro-trauma” due to the imposed demand of your activity.

The following tips can help you attain maximum benefit from your workout and reduce the risk of developing an injury.

Stretching:
The purpose of stretching is to maintain the flexibility of tissues that are tight or stiff from an activity or prolonged position.

Refueling (Hydration and Nutrition):
Refueling after a workout with a well-rounded set of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats will help your body reap the most benefit from your hard effort. Water is also absolutely essential to overall health.

RICE:
RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. If you find yourself having pain or swelling following exercise, particularly in a joint like your knee, ankle, or shoulder, you may consider using this four-part strategy to decrease inflammation and pain.

Tips to Avoid a Fall!

1. Maintain mobility and improve strength.
-Stay active by doing physical activities that you enjoy

2. Get a falls screening.
-Ask our Pain and Injury Experts about a falls screening.

3. Mind your medications.
-Many drugs can cause you to be dizzy, lose your balance, have blurry vision, and much more.

4. Eliminate hazards around your home.
-Look around your home with a friend or family member to identify anything that could cause you to trip or slip.

5. Improve home safety.
-Add a secure grab bar in the tub or shower and next to the toilet. A bar will give you sturdy support to hold on to when the floors or your feet are slippery.

Improve Quality of Life Through More Movement.

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things that you can do for your health.

Unfortunately, more than 80% of adults and adolescents do not get enough.

The good news is that you don’t have to spend hours at the gym or purchase expensive equipment to meet the recommended physical activity guidelines.

What’s important is to find leisure-time physical activities that you enjoy and do them regularly.

If pain or a condition limits your ability to participate in activities you enjoy, or you want to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, enhance your fitness, and prevent injuries, schedule a appointment with our Pain and Injury Team!

Poor Ankle Mobility affects Dorsiflexion.

Limitations in ankle mobility can cause quite a few functional and athletic limitations, but can be remedied with ankle mobility exercises.

In our experience, the most common reason people may have poor ankle mobility is a past surgery or injury.

This makes sense when dealing with big injuries, such as fractures, Achilles tendon ruptures, and ligament tears from acute sprains. Anything that requires a period of immobilization of the foot can obviously lead to a loss of ankle mobility.

But you don’t need to have a major injury or surgery, even mild injuries can lead to a loss of ankle mobility.

Several studies have been published that shown that limited dorsiflexion impacts many of our functional movement patterns, such as the squat, single-leg squat, lateral step down, and even landing from a jump.

Give our team a call at 951-684-2865 so that we can assess your ankle mobility and get you back on the right track.

Prepare Kids for the Demands of Playing a Sport!

Participation in sports offers tremendous social, emotional and physical benefits for children. As parents and coaches, there are simple things we can do to help reduce preventable injuries – so our kids can continue playing the games they love.

✅Before playing organized sports, make sure your child receives a pre-participation physical exam, or PPE, performed by a doctor, or a nurse practitioner or qualified clinician under the supervision of a physician. Whoever performs the exam, the same practices should be followed, including the need for a medical history.

✅In case of an emergency, provide your athlete's coaches with important information (phone numbers, doctor information and allergy information).

✅Meet with the coaches before the first practice to inform them of history with asthma or other medical conditions that require special attention.

Have you heard of your piriformis muscle? This muscle can be a big component in lower back pain.

The piriformis muscle is located deep in the hip, it is underneath your glute muscles and is responsible for rotating the hip.

In some cases the piriformis can become tight which can lead to limitations in hip and lumbar mobility.

Stretching the piriformis can improve function and decrease pain. Based on your current flexibility and pain symptoms reach out to our recovery experts and schedule an appointment!

Core strength aids in the prevention of lower back pain and injuries to the hip, knees and ankles.

By having a strong core you create a stable base for your body to move and be active.

If you are a beginner and trying to improve core strength this is one of our favorite exercises! This exercise is great to increase the activation of your transverse abdominis muscle and improve overall stability!

✅Tighten your abdominals by drawing your belly button up towards your spine and away from the floor. Hold this position, then relax and repeat. Breathe. When performing a crunch the usual focus is on the re**us abdominis, which is great, but it will not flatten your belly.✅

We are talking about squats!

As pain and injury experts we see so many injuries that result from squatting with incorrect mechanics.

A proper squat should engage your glutes and core and protect your lower back from injury.
Feet should be a little wider than shoulder width and your weight should be in your heels.

When squatting you should think about sitting back like you would if sitting down on a chair in order to activate the glutes. A proper squat is very important when lifting any item off of the floor and can help prevent lower back injuries!

Cycling to Reduce Knee Pain

Knee pain can be caused by a variety of factors, some of which include knee stiffness, incorrect positioning of the knee cap at rest or with movement, flat feet, improper exercise form, and weakness of the muscles that control the hip and knee.

Cycling exercise training can significantly reduce joint pain, stiffness, and physical limitations, and enhanced quality of life in middle-aged and older adults with osteoarthritis.

With less joint stress cycling is a low-impact exercise. This means that cycling limits impact stress on weight-bearing joints, like your hips, knees, and feet. Plus, the movement helps lubricate the joints, which reduces pain and stiffness.
