Everyone develops aches and pains from time to time. After a long day out in the sun, or after an afternoon of trying to keep up with household chores, sometimes the tasks that we expect of our bodies can get the best of us.

Everyonedevelopsachesandpains from time to time.Aftera longdayout in the sun,orafteranafternoonof trying tokeepupwithhouseholdchores,sometimes the tasks that we expect of our bodies can get the best of us. Whether it is a lingering ache in your back, feet that feel swollen and tired after a long day in your shoes, or a crick in your neck that just won’t go away, dealing with aches and pains can really take a toll on your overall feeling of wellbeing. If you stopped and asked around, you’d be amazed to see how many people are struggling with aches and pains, just like you. What may surprise you even more is how many people are coping with those pains without doing anything productive about it. HOW TO DEAL WITH ACHES AND PAINS Pain medications can reduce the severity of aches and pains for a little while, but they don’t do anything to resolve the issue.There are things that you can do at home that can alleviate your aches and pains, helping to reduce the severity of your discomfort while also reducing the likelihood that the pain will return. 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. After a good workout or a day of doing chores out in the yard, your muscles will likely feel sore. Apply ice directly to the area that hurts on and off for 20
minutesata timeduring thefirst24-72hoursafter thepaindevelops.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 areable to train your muscles for moremovement, and thereby reduce aches and pains. Keepingactive,staying rested,andbeingsmartwithhotandcold therapycreate a trifecta for healthy management of aches and pains, but they aren’t going to solve thebiggerproblems.Whenachesandpainsstart togrowsevere,orchronic, then it is time to reach out to a professional for support. Physical therapy is the bestway to reduceachesandpainsbecause it takes intoaccountacombination of active and passive strategies to help tackle the cause of your pain.

WHY USE PHYS I CAL 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.

ATHLETE SUCCESS SPOTLIGHT
"Rebound has provided me with an advantage over my competitors."
I have been training with Rebound Fitness since I was 11 years old. During my time at Rebound, I have been helped with overcoming injuries and have continued to improve my athletic performance in the pool. For a swimmer, it requires vigorous strength and endurance training to help build muscle and prevent injury. With all the workouts and stretches, Rebound has provided me with an advantage over my competitors. Stretching has played an important role in keeping flexible, mobile, and ready to compete, which allows me to perform at my best. Thanks to Rebound, I am now proudly an IHSA State Qualifier as a sophomore at Glenbrook North Highschool. - Kamila N. Print sudoku http://1sudoku.com 3 7 1 8 2 9
