Regular Physical Activity Reduces Risk Of Chronic Disease.

The good news is that regular physical activity can prevent and improve many chronic conditions. America, it's time to get moving!

How Much Physical Activity Should I Do?
According to the guidelines, the following is recommended:

Adults with chronic health conditions and disabilities, who are able, should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week. You should consult with a health care provider about the types and amounts that are appropriate for you.

Children and adolescents need at least 60 minutes or more of activity a day. This includes activities to strengthen bones, build muscles, and get the heart beating faster.

Adults should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity a week, and at least 2 days for muscle-strengthening activities. Adding more time provides further benefits.

Older adults (ages 65 and older) should do at least 150 minutes of aerobic activity a week and include muscle-strengthening activities 2 days a week. You should also add components, such as balance training as well. If you have limitations due to preexisting conditions, consult with a health care provider and be as physically active as your abilities allow.

Rest and Recovery.

We hear about the health benefits of exercise, but another important part of any exercise program, and for life in general, is recovery.

For some, it’s one of the hardest things to do but taking time to rest can help prevent an injury and create a healthier body.

Ways to Aid Recovery:

Staying hydrated:
Muscles are actually made up of 75% water. Water plays a vital role in the recovery process. Water helps nutrients repair muscles damaged during exercise, aids in digestion, and reduces fatigue.

Stretch:
After a tough workout, consider stretching. This simple and fast method can help your muscles recover quicker.

Take an ice bath:
Some athletes swear by these. An ice bath causes your blood vessels to constrict pushing the blood away from your muscles. Then once your out and your body warms up, the vessels open up and blood flows back into the muscle, bringing more oxygen to help you recover.

Sleep:
Your body needs 7 to 9 hours of sleep every day for chemical, hormone, and anti-inflammatory responses to happen. Sleep is also very important for your immune system. If you don’t get quality sleep, you may be at a higher risk of getting sick.

Simple Stretches and Ergonomic Adjustments.

Simple stretches and making ergonomic adjustments to your work environment can significantly reduce the daily discomfort most desk workers deal with. And the benefits go beyond just physical...

Neck and Shoulder Pain is an issue that commonly comes up with desk jobs. These aches and pains may come from placing your keyboard or computer monitor too far away on your desk, causing you to jut your neck and shoulders forward, throwing them out of alignment with the spine and straining the muscles and soft tissue.

Slumping back in your desk chair or slouching forward means your spine is out of alignment. That puts a strain on the ligaments and muscles in your back.

Be proactive and prevent postural issues before you start developing aches and pains. If you need help making sure your home workstation or desk is set up to be ergonomic, contact our team for a free virtual consultation where we can show you how to set up your desk over live video!

Experiencing One of These Common Running Injuries?

You’re out running on your favorite trail and so far, everything about your run is perfect. But then, you feel an unusual burn in your heel. Or a discomforting pull of your hamstrings just behind your knee. You might even misstep and roll an ankle. Running, like any other sport, has its fair share of injuries associated with it. Some of the most common running injuries are:

1. Plantar Fasciitis
With plantar fasciitis, you may feel pain in your heel or bottom of your foot when your foot hits the ground.

2. Patellar Tendinopathy
This is the tendon the doctor hits with his hammer to make your knee jerk. Tendinopathy occurs when a tendon starts to break down because it is too weak to tolerate the demand placed upon it when running.

3. Hamstring Tear/Tendinopathy
A hamstring tear will feel like a sharp pain in the back of your thigh and you will be unable to sprint or push off the ground with that leg.

If you are experiencing these types of pains contact us at 951-684-2865.

Without question, our team is the gold standard for treating all types of rotator cuff injuries of the shoulder.

A well-designed program will only have the elements that will help you. Participating in a generalized or non-specific program will mean that you will be doing a lot of things that may not have any benefit for you and it may leave out other key components.

Rotator cuff injuries can be very painful and without treatment debilitating. Rest assured that one of our Pain and Injury Experts can have you back in the game in short order. At Prime Therapy and Pain Center we are committed to excellence and our therapists undergo specialized training to learn how to manage complex shoulder injuries.

Manual labor Can Be Tough On The Body.

In fact, the National Bureau of Economic Research states that “The rate at which health deteriorates with age is faster in manual occupations than in non-manual occupations. For many people, work wears out their health”. Now, this doesn’t apply to every person, and there are certainly health benefits to not working a sedentary job all day.

However, intensive repetitive motions mandated in manual labor jobs can certainly have negative lasting effects on the back, shoulders, legs, knees.

A Pain and Injury expert stated that “a lot of back pain injuries associated with lifting are not as a result of one lift alone, but a series of poor lifting habits over months, and sometimes years”, in other words, it is habitual poor lifting techniques that will lead to the eventual breakdown of tissue and the resulting pain.

If you are worried about this happening to you or are already feeling the symptoms. Give our Pain and Injury Experts a call at 951-684-2865.

Am I getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel is one of the most common diagnoses. What happens is the median nerve gets compromised in the wrist. Which is usually caused by repetitive wrist motion or bending it forward too often.

Signs of Carpal Tunnel include:
✅ Waking up at night from pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand
✅ Numbness in the thumb, index, middle, and half of the ring finger
✅ Painful hand cramping in the muscle
✅ Hand weakness

What to do if you have these symptoms?
✅ Get an evaluation and to teach you how to properly do median nerve glides. This gets that entrapped nerve gliding and can reduce adhesions.
✅ Get a wrist splint. Wear your splint at night and when you’re doing heavy activities. A lot of times people sleep curled up in the fetal position which exacerbates the CTS symptoms.
✅ Consider anti-inflammatory options such as ice or turmeric powder.

As we start to move around and exercise more, it's important to stay safe while running and prevent injury.

Studies show that most runners will experience a running injury at some point because of one or more of these causes of running injuries.

- Impaired Strength Training
- Shoe Padding And Shape Wearing Down
- Poor Running Form
- Poor Training Habits

If you have pain while running, seek care from our Pain and Injury Experts who are familiar with running injuries. We are trained to perform comprehensive evaluations of your musculoskeletal system and will design routines to help get you back to running!

The Importance of Staying Hydrated.

Especially During Exercise!

Our bodies consist of 65% water! Our blood relies on proper amounts of water to remain at optimal consistency for pumping blood and regulating our blood pressure. Our muscles rely on water to allow them to use energy efficiently and deliver oxygen and nutrients to working muscles.

About half of people are inadequately hydrated during the hot seasons. This can lead to muscle cramping, muscle fatigue, decreased alertness, and ultimately injury.

Before going outside on a hot day properly hydrate by drinking 1 to 2 cups of water an hour before. There’s no straight forward approach to hydration. Each person should consider their individual sweat rate to assist in preparation and rehydration.

Know the signs of dehydration to help prevent it! Keep healthy and in the game!

Stay Physically Active During Social Distancing.

We know that staying active is good for our health in so many ways, from keeping our weight in a healthy range and cardiovascular health to immunity and for mental health.

For many, normal exercise schedules may be disrupted as gyms, yoga studios and CrossFit studios are closed, and even group exercises that were taking place in parks are canceled to practice social distancing.

Fortunately, with a little bit of flexibility and conscious schedule building, it is possible to remain active or even increase your physical activity during social isolation.

✅While working at home, pace while on phone calls or use a standing desk to complete emails and other work on the computer.
✅Consider getting a pair of hand weights and doing simple toning exercises while talking on the phone or reading for work.
✅Take movement breaks throughout the day. It may be helpful to set an alarm on your phone or computer reminding you to take a movement break that might include doing a few simple stretches or something more rigorous like a set of push-ups or sit ups.
✅Many online websites and apps are offering free workouts as are many gyms in support of their patrons.
