HOW CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP BACK PAIN?
(Continued from outside.)
Physical therapists assess your particular condition to identify the contributing factors and address ALL of them. Rather than focusing on one cause of your pain, your physical therapist will address all of the causes. We are skilled at hands-on intervention and exercise selection for the most comprehensive and appropriate intervention to help you resolve your pain and/or restore your function. Back Pain Prevention A little prevention goes a long way. If you want to avoid future back pain, you canmake sure you’re being good to your back. • Limit Sitting For Too Long. Prolonged sitting is not good for your back, or your overall health. Although adjusting your posture while sitting can be helpful, amore effective option is to stand up periodically throughout the day. Limit your sitting to 30-45minutes at a time. The results will be noticeable! • Use Good Posture. Our spine is designed to move which means our posture should also move. The spine does not like to remain in any one position for extended times. Most people slouch and then hold that position for extended periods of time. By finding a “good” posture you can counteract the slouch. When you’re standing, imagine your breast bone is lifted towards the sky. This will naturally cause your spine to
straighten out — lifting you up — keeping your hips, spine, shoulders and neck aligned. • Use Strength Training. Your body has hundreds of muscles. These muscles protect and control your spine. By lifting weights, running and swimming, you can keep them strong. Train the muscles of your hips, pelvis and spine — your core muscles.

HEALTHY RECIPE: MIRACLE RED JUICE
INGREDIENTS • 2 large beets • 4 long carrots • 2 apples
Health Benefits • Immunity
• Kidneys • Pancreas • Digestive Tract
• 6 celery stalks • 2 limes or lemons • 2 inches of ginger
• Eyes • Liver • Spleen
DIRECTIONS Prepare beets, carrots, apples, celery, limes (or lemons) and ginger by chopping into smaller pieces before placing into a juicer. As the skin of a beet is packed with antioxidants and nutrients, it is recommended to leave the skin on the beet. Do not peel the ginger, which you will add to taste as ginger can be spicy. After all ingredients are added to the juicer, blend until juiced and smooth. Miracle Red Juice can be absorbed more easily on an empty stomach. Drink one glass every other day or as needed.
