best way to reduce aches and pains because it takes into account a combination of active and passive strategies to help tackle the cause of your pain. Why use physical therapy? There are a lot of different reasons as to why you may start feeling aches and pains. Muscle pain will occur whenever your muscles start to grow. To build more muscle mass, your muscles have to stretch, and lactic acid can pour into the lining of your muscles to cause a burning sensation. More movement will push that acid out, helping you to experience relief, and in time your muscles will develop increased elasticity, and the burning won’t be so severe. Build-up of tension from stress or overuse, and muscle pain from poor posture can also contribute to regular pain. A physical therapist can take a comprehensive assessment to help determine what may be the primary cause behind your aches and pains. Working with a physical therapist can help you develop a new approach to managing your aches and pains. Your physical therapy program will likely take into account strategies like hydrotherapy, deep tissue massage, guided stretching and targeted movements to help you experience ongoing relief from regular discomfort. Give us a call so we can help you say goodbye to your aches and pains.
Don’t just complain about those aches and pains. Start doing something about them. Here is a quick rundown of things that you can do at home that can reduce your daily pain: 1. Use hot and cold therapy appropriately to reduce inflammation. Afteragoodworkoutoradayofdoingchoresout intheyard,your muscleswill likely feelsore.Apply icedirectlytotheareathathurts on and off for 20 minutes at a time during the first 24-72 hours after the pain develops. After that, consider soaking in hot water, such as taking a warm bath, to further soothe your muscles. 2. Don’t underestimate the power of resting! Your body relies on sleep just as much as your brain. You need to get plenty of sleep to keep your stress level at a minimum—and that includes your physical stress level. Aim to sleep between 7-9 hours every night. The more activity you engage in, the more sleep you need. 3. Keep your body in good shape with regular exercise. It may seem counterintuitive to cut down on pain by moving more, but exercise is a really good way to reduce aches and pains. When you exercise every day, you are able to train your muscles for more movement, and thereby reduce aches and pains. Keeping active, staying rested, and being smart with hot and cold therapy create a trifecta for healthy management of aches and pains, but they aren’t going to solve the bigger problems. When aches and pains start to grow severe, or chronic, then it is time to reach out to a professional for support. Physical therapy is the

En vez de solamente quejarse de esos dolores, puede comenzar a hacer algo al respecto. Aquí presentamos un breve resumen de las cosas que puede hacer en casa para reducir sus dolores cotidianos: 1. Use terapia de frío y calor de manera apropiada para reducir la inflamación. Después de un buen entrenamiento o un día de hacer laboresenelpatio,esprobablequesusmúsculossesientan adoloridos. Aplique hielo directamente en el área que duele por intervalosde20minutosa lavezdurante lasprimeras24a72horas después de que aparezca el dolor. Después de eso, considere darse un baño con agua tibia, para aliviar aúnmás sus músculos. 2. ¡No subestime el poder del descanso! El rendimiento de su cuerpo depende del sueño al igual que su cerebro. Debe dormir lo suficiente para mantener su nivel de estrés al mínimo, y eso incluye su nivel de estrés físico. Trate de dormir entre 7 y 9 horas todas las noches. Cuanta más actividad tenga, más horas de sueño necesitará. 3. Mantenga su cuerpo en buena forma haciendo ejercicios regularmente. Puede parecer contradictorio reducir el dolor con más movimiento, pero el ejercicio es realmente un buen modo de reducir los dolores. Al hacer ejercicio todos los días, puede entrenarsusmúsculosparaqueadmitan tenermásmovimiento y, de esa manera, puede reducir los dolores y molestias. Mantenerse activo, mantenerse descansado y usar de modo inteligente la terapia de frío y calor crean un triple efecto ideal para el manejo saludable de los dolores, pero no van a resolver los problemas más profundos. Cuando los dolores y molestias
comienzan a hacerse severos o crónicos, es entonces el momento de comunicarse con un profesional para obtener asistencia. La fisioterapia es la mejor manera de reducir dolores y molestias porque incluye una combinación de estrategias activas y pasivas para ayudar a abordar la causa de su dolor. ¿Por qué acudir a la fisioterapia? Hay muchas distintas razones por las que se puede comenzar a sentir dolores. Sentirá dolor muscular cada vez que sus músculos comiencen a expandirse. Para desarrollar más masa muscular, los músculos deben estirarse y puede haber una acumulación de ácido láctico en el revestimiento de los músculos, lo cual provoca una sensación de ardor. Tener más movimiento expulsará ese ácido, y le ayudará a experimentar alivio, y con el tiempo sus músculos desarrollarán una mayor elasticidad y la sensación de ardor no será tan intensa. La acumulación de tensión causada por el estrés o el uso excesivo y el dolor muscular causado por una mala postura también pueden contribuir al dolor regular. Un fisioterapeuta puede realizarle una evaluación integral para ayudar a determinar cuál puede ser la causa principal de sus molestias y dolores. Trabajar con un fisioterapeuta puede ayudarle a desarrollar un nuevo enfoque para manejar sus dolores. Su programa de fisioterapia probablemente incluirá estrategias como la hidroterapia, masajes de tejido profundo, estiramiento guiado y movimientos específicos para ayudarlo a experimentar un alivio continuo de su malestar habitual. Dénos una llamada para que podamos ayudarlo a decir adiós a sus dolores y molestias.
