WHAT’S TRENDING?

3 Interior Design Trends of 2023

While it’s only the second month of 2023, interior designers have already noticed several design trends homeowners use to spice up their living spaces. If you want to revamp your home, look no further than these three tips! One of the most popular trends in 2023 is black accent walls or pieces . Black is a neutral color that gives your home a modern and edgy feel without overpowering your room.

Jump back in time by incorporating vintage pieces into your home. From lava lamps to retro-style furniture and wall art, the possibilities are endless.

Make any room in your home look bigger with round furniture and tables . Rectangular and square pieces will cut your room and make it appear smaller. But rounded-edge sofas, armchairs, and coffee tables will open up the space and give the illusion of a larger space.

SPRING ALLERGIES ARE COMING!

CAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP WITH SINUS HEADACHES?

2. Manual Therapy Your physical therapist can take a hands-on approach and help stretch out your neck muscles to improve mobility and reduce your chances of having spasms. These stretches can include a myofascial release in which your physical therapist will use a tapping or stroking technique on the sinus cavities on your forehead to remove excess fluid. Other treatment options include an accelerated recovery performance machine (ARP) . This device is an electrical stimulation used on your sinus cavities to help stimulate them and remove excess fluid. After use, you will breathe a lot better without congestion or pressure on your head. Additionally, your physical therapist can use Kinesio tape on the back of your neck to reduce pain and inflammation. While there are several at-home treatments you can try, such as using a neti pot or saline wash, nasal decongestant spray, hot compacts, and other remedies, sometimes sinus headaches and other headaches are difficult to treat.

As we approach spring, you could experience headaches due to a head cold or allergies. You may feel constant pressure on your face and forehead. Usually, headaches go away on their own. However, if you’re experiencing chronic or recurring headaches, physical therapy can be an effective treatment option. What will happen at your first appointment? Your physical therapist will ask you what your symptoms are and outline some reasons for what could potentially be causing your headaches. Once your physical therapist determines what kind of headaches you’re experiencing and their causes, they will look at different treatment options.

What are the treatment options for headaches? 1. Exercise Therapy Strengthening your upper torso, neck, and muscles that support the back of your head is crucial when trying to reduce tension headaches. Building muscles in these areas will decrease your chances of triggering sensitive nerves, which can cause headaches.
