Patient Success Story
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE SUMMER WITH THESE 5 SIMPLE TIPS
“I had a lot of neck, shoulder, and hand pain. Walking, lifting, I was just in constant pain. It was frustrating. When I came to Marathon Physical Therapy, they really helped me. The heat and massage really helped. It’s 99% better. They did the job!” - Nira Y (Great Neck, NY) “They Really Helped Me!”
1. Get outside! This may seem like an obvious one, but not everyone has a strong interest in the outdoors. It can sometimes be difficult, especially on particularly hot or humid days. However, getting outside as often as you will boost your energy levels and get you some much-needed Vitamin D. Make your way over to your local pool, peruse around nearby shops or simply take a walk around the neighborhood to get out, get moving, and enjoy the weather! 2. Rearrange your schedule. Does your schedule leave little time to fit in physical activity? Perhaps you have a full day of commuting to and from your 9-5 job, preparing your kids for summer camps, volunteering, and acting as a chauffeur while the kids are out of school. However, even adding in 30 minutes of physical activity into your busy routine can make a big difference in helping maintain your function. Try taking a walk during your lunch break, going to the gym in the morning before making your commute, or even treating yourself to an exercise class a couple of nights a week – you deserve it! 3. Get healthy for your summer sport. Are you part of a summer sports team? If so, it is important to make sure you prepare your body for the season! Use this time to train, maintaining a nutritious diet, and strengthening the necessary parts of your body. At Marathon Physical Therapy, we also offer training and performance classes to train your body for your specific sport! Contact us to find out how we can get you to your peak performance for your summer sport. 4. Start something new! Are you unsure about what you want to do in terms of staying active this summer? Try taking up a new hobby that’ll get you moving! There are several outdoor activities that’ll allow you to take advantage of the warm weather, such as beach volleyball, running clubs, kayaking, rock climbing, or hiking. Try your hand at some of these to see which suits you best! Any new physical hobby will help you get the exercise you need. 5. Contact us for help.
