Therapy Advice from the
Experts
It
seems as if spring in Delaware
has finally arrived, bringing
everyone outside to garden
and play. We expect to start
seeing our usual influx
of new patients, who have
overdone it over the previous
weekend and pulled or twisted
something. You may think
that it is too late to prepare
for springtime, but here
is a list of steps to take
to minimize your risk of
winding up calling your
doctor next Monday morning:
1.
Do not do your activity
first thing in the morning.
We are stiffer in the
morning, and therefore
more apt to get hurt.
What is the best way to
warm up? Take a hot shower,
then go for a short walk
to get the blood flowing
to your muscles. Then,
and only then, should
you consider stretching.
2.
Do not do heavy or strenuous
activity late in the day.
This is when you are fatigued,
and your form may not
be correct for the activity.
This is when an accident
will happen. It is very
tempting to push yourself
to weed that last flowerbed
of the day, but resist!
3.
If you are in one position
for a long period of time,
occasionally reverse that
posture. For example,
if you are bent over planting
flowers, stand up, put
your hands on your low
back, and arch backwards.
If you have been painting
your ceiling all day,
sit in a chair, band over,
and hug your knees.
4.
Make sure you have the
right tool for the right
job. I know I sound like
your father on this one,
but it really helps to
keep you in a safe posture
when working. Do not use
tools with broken handles,
rusted pieces, or even
using a hand tool when
you have it’s electrical
counterpart available.
