SEASON OF RENEWAL Springtime Activities & Fitness
PATIENT SPOTLIGHT
(continued from outside)
pain are shin splints. These occur when there is pain along the large bone in the front of the lower leg, known as the tibia or shin bone. They are normally due to poor alignment of the body, or weakness in the leg muscles. A physical therapist can help make sure your joint health is up to par before you hit the trails! Gardening Gardening usually requires you to get down on your hands and knees in the dirt! Physical therapy can help you to relieve any knee pain you’ve been experiencing that may keep you from spending time outside tending your flowers, fruits or vegetables. Severe knee injuries often include bone bruises or damage to the cartilage or ligaments, which a physical therapist can identify and remedy. Biking Biking is a super fun activity people enjoy doing as it warms up outside! Similar to running and gardening, however, biking can also prove to be difficult if you’re suffering from injuries that have not healed, or chronic pain conditions that restrict your mobility. Physical therapy can help to mobilize your joints and help you build up strength and endurance so you can continue taking those long bike rides through the park, mountains, or city streets! Yoga Yoga is a great way to gently increase your heart rate and improve your levels of flexibility. It also strengthens your muscles! Many physical therapy programs already incorporate stretches that are found in yoga routines, however, if yoga is your preferred method of fitness, a physical therapist can help ease chronic aches and pains that may be making yoga difficult for you. The better you feel about your abilities to do your stretches and poses, the more often you can take your mat outside to practice! Spring into better health this season LP Physical Therapy offers many types of therapeutic methods to help athletes and weekend warriors alike to participate in whatever fitness or outdoor activity they love the most.
