Put the Spring Back in Your Step Do you find it harder to walk, run or exercise? Is hip, knee or leg pain keeping you from being active? If so, understanding how your body walks and moves can be the key to putting the spring back in your step. Think of your body as a big spring that stores and releases energy with every step. The efficiency of your walk comes from the effectiveness of your flexibility, strength, and balance. When any one of these is off, it affects your ability to walk efficiently and
takes a lot of energy. This results in strain to different joints and makes muscles work much harder than they need to, which leads to possible pain in the back, hips, and knees. It also causes fatigue after walking, even for a little while. If you are experiencing pain again after therapy, it might be because muscles or joints have tightened or become weak again. Call Canyon Sports Therapy to schedule a check-up so you can get back to living an active, healthy lifestyle.

“Feel Younger. Move Faster. Walk Farther.” GAIN NATURAL PAIN RELIEF FOR JOINT PAIN
The Remedy When you walk, run and move, your hip and knee work together to allow you to move fluidly and accurately. When one of these joints and the associated muscle groups that make themmove are not working properly, pain can occur in different parts of the leg. Hip pain can leave you with limited movement and make walking painful. This pain may radiate to the groin, buttock or thigh. The simple solution is to put the spring back in your step. This is accomplished by first analyzing how you walk. There are slight changes in the way that you walk and move, that the trained medical experts at Canyon Sports Therapy can pick up on.

PATIENT RESULTS
Back on track within a few weeks! “I first saw Brad a year ago, as his first patient at CST as I rehabbed from hip replacement surgery. Brad was great. I needed a little more strengthening in mid- winter. Last month I hyperextended my new hip and pulled my right hamstring. Brad got me back on track within a few weeks. One legged deadlifts were the hardest and key to improving my hamstring and overall hip strength. Once again, another great experience at Canyon Sports Therapy!” - N.W. I was impressedwith a thorough assessment ofmywholebody strength! “I came to Canyon Sports Therapy because of arthritis in both hips, one having bursa inflammation. I was impressed with a thorough assessment of my whole body strength, not just focusing on the main points of pain or weakness. The knowledge base of the therapist was impressive as he explained how the muscles work and how the exercise and therapy would help strengthen me. I have been to therapy in a couple of other facilities which have been routine so to speak. I would definitely recommend and return to Canyon Sports Therapy because of the thorough care specifically for my problem. It was a pleasure working with them and feeling comfortable and confident in their care.” -J.T.

FEBRUARY IS HEART HEALTH MONTH Tips For Better Heart Health
1. Aim for lucky number seven. Young and middle-aged adults who sleep 7 hours a night have less calcium in their arteries (an early sign of heart disease) than those who sleep 5 hours or less or those who sleep 9 hours or more. 2. Keep the pressure off. Get your blood pressure checked every 3-5 years if you’re 18-39. If you’re 40 or older, or if you have high blood pressure, check it every year. 3. Move more. To keep it simple, you can aim for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week of moderate exercise. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, being sedentary for the other 23 1/2 hours is really bad for your heart. 4. Slash saturated fats. To help your heart’s arteries, cut down on saturated fats, which are mainly found in meat and full-fat dairy products. Choose leaner cuts and reduced-fat options. 5. Find out if you have diabetes. Millions of people don’t know that they have this condition. That’s risky because over time, high blood sugar damages arteries and makes heart disease more likely. 6. Think beyond the scale. Ask your doctor if your weight is OK. If you have some pounds to lose, you’ll probably want to change your eating habits and be more active.
Always consult your physical therapist or physician before starting exercises you are unsure of doing. Exercise Essentials Try this simple exercise to keep you moving...
