3 3 7 6 1. Baby steps at first. If you haven’t been participating in the same type of vigorous physical activity you used to be accustomed to, it is important to begin with baby steps. Start small in the beginning and build up from there. When you push your body past its current limits, you make yourself more prone to injuries because your body is not prepared for the physical demands being asked of it. A physical therapist can help you understand the limits that your body developed while under quarantine and can create an exercise plan for you to get back to your physical goals. 9 http://1sudoku.com 6 2. Keeping the correct form. No matter what type of physical exercise you are trying to get back into, form is a crucial part of it. Proper form could mean the difference between physical progress or injury. Your ability to safely perform any movement is reliant on great posture and proper body positioning. When living the sedentary lives that we all currently are, it is possible for your natural posture to shift a bit. A physical therapist can also help you improve your form during exercise by addressing any issues you may have while sitting, standing, twisting, bending, running, jumping, or lifting. 6 2 4 8 2 1

With help from a physical therapist, you can set up an exercise regimen that will help you shed some pounds and maintain a healthy weight, taking off the added stress on your joints that may have developed during the stay-at-home orders. Your physical therapist will customize an exercise plan for your specific needs, which may include stretching, aerobic exercise, weight training, or pain relief treatments if necessary. This will help in reaching your targeted weight and decreasing pressure on vulnerable parts of your body. 7 6 n° 3633 - Level Hard 4 2 8 7 3 Your physical therapist will create targeted exercises and stretches for you to improve your current form and limit the amount of impact on your joints during exercise.

I was referred by a friend to Josh and his team at Performance Therapy Institute. I have seen both Josh and Tracy for my therapy and have been extremely pleased with both of them! They are very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. They are highly committed to safe and effective therapy for all their clients. I was always greeted with a smile and they were always prompt and attentive once I arrived. While there, they make certain you are doing what you need to do to get better and they make sure you are doing it correctly and with proper form. Your sessions are tailored for your individual needs. They take their time and never rush you while you are there. I am very impressed and happy with the entire staff at Performance and would recommend them to anyone! I will miss seeing them once my therapy sessions are complete!” - D.S. 1 3 6 6 5 7 5 4 6 2 5 8 7 3 2

1 FRONT PLANK FOREARMS & FEET Lie on your stomach with elbows bent. Your legs should be straight out behind you with your feet together. Raise up on your forearms and toes. Create a nice straight line with your body from your head to your heels. Concentrate on tucking your pelvic to engage your abs, squeezing your glutes and quads to keep your legs straight, and squeezing your legs together as you hold. Hold for 20 seconds and repeat 3 times. 2 5 7 1 4 4 2 5 3 7
