Strategy for Smart Recovery: Foam Rolling Tips for Runners

Recovery is more than just a buzzword—it is a performance-enhancing strategy that allows you to train more intensely and more frequently. To help you Move Better and Feel Better, here are some essential rules for your foam rolling routine:
⏱️ Keep it Light & Fast
More is NOT better. Aim for an intensity of about 4/10 for approximately 4 minutes total. Overdoing it can actually increase soreness and cause a mild inflammatory reaction, which might temporarily increase your pain.
🎯 Focus Your Efforts
Don’t spend your entire evening on the roller. Pick one or two areas to focus on each night and rotate through them.

⚠️ Know When to Roll
Avoid intense sessions the night before a big run or race unless it's already a regular part of your routine.
Be Careful: If you are rolling a "problem area" that isn't improving, it might be time for a professional evaluation to see if other mobility issues are contributing to the injury.

At Made To Move Chiropractic, we believe the best outcomes happen when you are actively involved in your recovery.

It's Montana Governor’s Cup Week! Perfect time to cover the topic of running injuries. 🏃‍♂️🤕

For all of our Crazed Runners out there...🤪🏃‍♂️
Do you have the dreaded IT Band syndrome? If so, your IT band isn't the enemy. It could be angry because you have an issue in your hip and/or low back mechanics. Optimizing hip strength and mechanics in runners is a great way to keep running- pain free (or at least as close to it as possible)

Good Luck to all who are participating in the Gov Cup this weekend!!

Just because it's warm outside doesn't mean you should skip your warm up! Take the time to move BEFORE you jump into your activities, especially if you're old enough to remember waking up early for Saturday morning cartoons (like me...)

Summer Hydration Strategy

Don’t let dehydration derail your summer adventures! Whether you are out scouting for the upcoming hunting season, hitting the trails, or just enjoying the Montana sunshine, keeping your body’s "most valuable asset" fueled with water is critical. 🫗🫗

Did you know that a dehydration level of as little as 2% of your body weight can significantly impact both your mental and physical performance? If you’re feeling sluggish 😴 during your afternoon hike, your water intake might be the culprit.

The "Rule of Thumb" for Hydration
To stay on top of your game, follow this simple math:

The Equation: Divide your body weight (in pounds) by 2.
The Result: That is the number of ounces of water you should aim to consume daily.
Example: A 200-pound person should shoot for approximately 100 ounces of water a day.

How to Check Your Levels:
Not sure if you're drinking enough? Check these indicators:
Frequency: You should ideally need to urinate every 2–3 hours.
Color & Odor: Your urine should be light or pale yellow and virtually odorless. If it’s dark yellow or has a strong scent, you are likely dehydrated.

Dr. Aaron’s Pro-Tip: Ease Into It
If you’re currently only drinking a fraction of what you need, don’t double your intake overnight (unless your plan is to get your steps in for the day by making frequent trips to the restroom😁) . Instead, gradually increase your intake over several days to allow your body to utilize the water effectively.

Stay hydrated, stay focused, and keep moving!
