This will likely include the following:
It is at risk when you are safely at home on your couch or at the office, where you are likely scrunched over and not caring one bit about your posture. It is at risk when you run, when you play sports, and even when you find yourself sick and are coughing so heavily that your back begins to hurt. It is no wonder that so many people experience back injuries every year. What is a big wonder is that so many people choose to ignore their back injuries year after year! When you break an arm or get a cut on your leg, you are likely to do something about it right away. The sight of blood leaving your body or the realization that a bone isn’t sitting right is something that not many people are going to deal with for too long before seeking medical attention. Yet when pain begins in the back, it is almost normal to ignore it. Everyone develops back pain, time to time, right? There is no reason to stress about it or overreact, right? Absolutely wrong! Understanding Back Pain Back pain may be common, but it is absolutely not normal.There are actually a lot of serious conditions that can cause your back to begin to hurt, and it is smart to have your back looked at by a physician early on so that you know exactly what is going on with your body from the get-go. Once the cause of your back pain is determined, your physical therapist will be able to identify the best treatment options for your body’s needs.
• Targeted exercises that are specialized to the region of the back that is experiencing the most pain. These exercises are designed to help build strength and support the surrounding muscles. • Guided stretching designed to improve range of motion and flexibility. This will take into account the health and vivacity of vertebrae and any potential stretches that may support optimal back health. • Support and guidance with an exercise routine and habit formation, especially with cardiovascular activity that can stimulate improved blood circulation to the affected areas of the back, as well as strength- building activities. Attempting to undertake any of these changes on your own after you’ve experienced a back injury is both dangerous and not recommended. Working with a licensed and experienced physical therapist can provide you with the guidance and ongoing support that you need to ensure that you do not experience any further injury as you attempt to heal the cause of your back pain. If you or someone you care about is suffering from back pain, give us a call today to find how treatment will target the exact source of the problem.

Getting To The Bottom Of Back Pain
There are a lot of different reasons as to why you may be experiencing back pain, and ignoring any of them is not a good idea. Some of the most common issues that cause back pain to linger include: • Muscle sprain or strain • Slipped vertebrae or disc • Tear or hyperextension to the supporting muscles or tendons • Arthritis
These concerns can develop as a result of a myriad of environmental issues, such as having poor posture, prolonged sedentary activity, car crash, sporting accident, stress, heavy lifting, and so on. When it comes to back pain, Don’t Wait! When you experience an injury to your back, or realize that you are experiencing regular pain as a result of an ongoing injury or overuse, it is important to find out the cause of your back pain as quickly as possible. Back pain can quickly become chronic, as a potentially small issue can become complicated when it is not addressed early on. Working with a physical therapist can help you to identify the difference between environmental causes and something more medically based. To get started with putting an end to your back pain, call us today.

SPORT INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM Static stretching - Constant tension held at end range; inhibits the muscle; requires 30 seconds to 1 minute to influence muscle length changes; has been shown to decrease performance in strength, speed and power if performed prior to activity and effects lasting 60 minutes after static stretching routines; has not been shown to increase or decrease injury. Best performed after activity to influence tissue recovery. Training Held once weekly (day and time to be determined by soccer coach) for 1 ½ hours. Each team will work together through warm-up, dynamic stretching techniques specific to sport, agility and plyometric skills, foam rolling, cool down, and static stretching techniques. Execution of aforementioned will be monitored for precision and any identified movement dysfunction will be addressed to ensure premier movement development. Adjunct Services These will be available, at a discounted rate, to each participant including:
Dynamic stretching - Activity specific utilizing sport specific movements; increases body core temperature, related controlled movements trained with focus on quality mimicking sports movement patterns; require a combination of strength, flexibility, balance and coordination while preparing the body for activity. Best performed as part of multimodal training regime to prepare for sport activity. Flexibility - Measure of range of motion about a joint and its surrounding muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue during passive movements. Can be measured and clinically characterized as excessive or restrictive. Warm-up - Time used to gain numerous training adaptations in many aspects of physical conditioning including strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination, correction of muscle imbalances and focus toward activity. Controlled mobility - Is a harmonious relationship between mobility and stability. Mobility has to do with the ability to move, whereas stability has to do with the absence of movement and/or control of erroneous movement. It is the balance of these two entities that is the essence of controlled mobility. Overuse injury - Is any type of muscle or joint injury, such as tendinitis or a stress fracture, that’s caused by repetitive trauma. An overuse injury typically stems from: Training errors. Training errors can occur when you take on too much physical activity too quickly. Agility - Is the ability to change the body’s position efficiently, and requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, and endurance. Speed - The ability to move quickly across the ground or move limbs rapidly to grab or throw. Movement speed requires good strength and power. Body coordination - Is a performance-related fitness component that describes the smooth, efficient movement patterns that are parts of sport skills and tasks. Your stage of learning influences how well you can perform these component movements of a skill.
