SAFELY GET BACK TO YOUR ACTIVITIES AFTER QUARANTINE
Returning to activities safely and comfortably: 1. Baby steps at first. If you haven’t been participating in the same type of 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. Our physical therapists can help you understand the limits that your body developed while in quarantine and can create an exercise plan for you to get back to your physical goals.
During quarantine, many of us probably decreased the amount of physical activity we engaged in. With gyms and exercise classes closed down, it was difficult to find the motivation to get your daily physical activity while sitting at home. The sedentary lifestyle that I’m sure many people experienced while being quarantined to their homes actually lead to more aches, pains, and discomfort than one may have thought. Your body, quite simply, was made to move! At California Rehabilitation, we want to make sure you are able to get back into your normal exercise routine now that things are going back to normal. Follow our tips below and feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions!
