As patients return to spring activities like gardening, cycling, and tennis, RMTs play an important role in helping them stay active, reduce injury risk, and manage musculoskeletal pain.

Jumping back into an active hobby after a long break can increase the risk of pain or injury.

Whether patients are spending the day in the garden, heading out for a family bike ride, or getting back on the tennis court, preparation and recovery strategies can help them enjoy these activities more comfortably and reduce the risk of injury.

Let's revisit the...dead bug exercise:
"Strengthens deep core → Targets muscles that support and protect your spine.
Protects your lower back → Trains you to keep a safe, neutral position.
Improves coordination → Opposite arm and leg movement builds control.
Real-life strength → Teaches your core to stabilize during movement.
Low impact → Safe for beginners and those with back pain.
Do 5–10 reps per side, slow and controlled." Bob and Brad
