DETAILS INSIDE
Many people assume that anyone participating in physical therapy treatments is recovering from a recent surgery. However, that is not always the case. Physical therapy provides a multitude of benefits for anyone wishing to restore their strength, endurance, flexibility, or stability. In fact, physical therapy is used as a treatment for any pain, injury, or ailment someone may be facing. While there are many aspects of physical therapy, nutrition and exercise are important concepts that we try to implement into our treatment plans at Repair Sports Institute. They have been known to help manage pain and inflammation for several chronic conditions among patients. If you have been living with pain and inflammation and you are looking for relief, contact our office today! (continued inside)

MANAGE YOUR PAIN WITH NUTRITION & EXERCISE!
(continued from outside)
Exercise programs are aimed at improving health, so you can feel better than you did beforehand. They implement targeted activities that are aimed at relieving pain and restoring you to your optimum level of physical function. Therapeutic exercises for pain relief can also be used as a way to prevent additional impairment or disability when facing certain physical risks. There are a wide variety of exercises that we prescribe based on the needs of each patient, and each one has a unique purpose. These include: • Area-Specific Exercises. It’s easy to think of exercise as something we do with our muscles, but exercise can also help our body’s other systems. Area-specific exercises target breathing and circulation to help speed healing, improve blood flow, or lower stress on the body. • Balance & Coordination Exercises. Every time you stand or sit, bones and muscles work in conjunction with one another to help you remain upright. Every time you stand, walk, sit, brush your teeth, cook a meal, or take care of your daily activities, you are testing your coordination between the muscular and skeletal systems in your body. Your ability to care for yourself or your loved ones depends on your ability to balance and coordinate your arms, legs, hands, and feet. That is why balance and coordination exercises are so important, especially after an injury or illness. If you cannot keep your balance or lose your coordination, you lose the ability to care for yourself.
• Muscle Performance Exercises. Increasing power, endurance, and muscle strength are vital to good balance and stability, as well as bone and joint health. Resistance and endurance exercises are designed to increase muscle strength without injury. • Range of Motion Exercises. These exercises are aimed at increasing the range of motion in your joints and soft tissues. This may be done through active, passive, or assisted stretching activities designed to help your joints move better, without pain. • Posture Exercises. Hours spent at desks, bending over keyboards, poor muscle tone, or simply poor posture habits can all lead to pain or injury. What you may not realize is that posture has a direct impact on muscle strength, balance, and risk of injury. Posture exercises are aimed at correcting poor posture, not just when you exercise, but also in your daily life activities to alleviate aches and pains. • Relaxation Exercises. Relaxation is part of therapeutic exercise? You bet! While it is important to work the muscles, joints, and soft tissues in the body, it is also important to help them relax. Pain relieving techniques including heat, cold, electrical stimulation, massage, or trigger point therapy, can all help the body relax, improve your sleep, lower your blood pressure, and keep you coming back for more exercise!
What Is An Anti-Inflammatory Diet?
What you eat has an enormous impact on the way your body functions. Your diet not only affects your level of energy throughout the day, but it can also affect your ability to recover effectively from certain injuries and illnesses. Nutrition plays a crucial role in reviving muscles and restoring your body to its prior level of functioning. Your body needs an adequate combination of the right nutrients for a healthy recovery. These include, but are not limited to: • Protein - Protein is crucial for building and repairing muscles. Baked salmon, grilled chicken, and hard-boiled eggs are great choices to meet your protein needs, while also reducing inflammation in your body. When possible, try to avoid red meet when experiencing inflammation. • Healthy Carbs - Carbs are a primary source of fuel for your body, so it is best not to try and cut them out altogether. Sweet potatoes, oatmeal, and quinoa are all excellent choices for fueling yourself with healthy carbs. Blueberries also provide healthy carbs and are rich in antioxidants. These types of carbs will boost your energy without exacerbating the inflammation in your body. • Antioxidants - Antioxidants are critical in reducing free radical damage to your body, especially the muscles, which experience the bulk of inflammation. • Vitamins - Vitamins play a crucial role in repairing muscles, tissues, and tendons. By speeding up the recovery process, vitamins can help your pain and inflammation dissipate faster. • Water – Water is crucial to an anti-inflammatory diet! It’s important to consume enough water to stay sufficiently hydrated, as inflammation can become worse with dehydration. Pain and inflammation relief is possible with the help of physical therapy. Our licensed physical therapists can help you recover as quickly as possible so you can get back to living your life without discomfort. Contact Repair Sports Institute today to get started!
