Core PT&Sports: Neck Pain & Stress

HOWPHYSICAL THERAPY CAN HELP NECK PAIN

Neck pain, fortunately, can be alleviated with physical therapy. Because neck pain is often caused by activity, different activity can cure it. Sometimes, this “activity” means “no activity.” Before you contact a professional, try reducing your neck movements. Sometimes, simply letting your neck muscles relax is enough. If you don’t see relief within two weeks, contact a professional. Physical therapists can target your pain’s source by examining your symptoms. Then, they can offer exercises that stretch, flex and relax your neck muscles. In time, your neck will become more resilient — giving you the comfort you deserve. Where after-care treatment is considered, custom-tailored neck exercises will assure your neck stays loose, limber and healthy. If you’re dealing with neck pain, you’re not alone. Call our office today, and schedule an assessment. Even if your neck pain is caused by stress, it still needs attention. We’ll work side by side with your goals, creating the proactive, effective programs you need to achieve mobility once more.

SHRIMP FRIED RICE

INGREDIENTS • 1½ cups water • 1 cup instant brown rice • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce • 4 tsp reduced-sodium soy sauce

• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten • 8 oz peeled & raw small shrimp

• 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger • 4 cups stringless snap peas • 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into ½-inch pieces • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced • 4 scallions, chopped

• 2 tsp toasted sesame oil • 4 tsp canola oil, divided

DIRECTIONS Combine water and rice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the water is absorbed, 10-12 minutes. Spread the rice out on a large baking sheet to cool. Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl; set aside. Heat 1 tsp canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add eggs and cook, stirring to help break into smaller pieces, until just set, about 45 seconds. Transfer the egg to a bowl. Add another 1 teaspoon canola oil to the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, 1 1 /2 to 2 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to the bowl. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in snap peas, bell pepper, carrots and scallions; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the rice and the reserved egg and shrimp; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and gently stir in the sauce mixture.
