COVID-19 has taken its toll mentally and physically on all of us. Now fully engrossed in summer, we have seen businesses reopen, people returning to work, and our kids going back to camps and some sports.
While all this change has been occurring, there is another change that has happened: We’ve gotten stiffer, weaker, and more out of shape. In speaking with many of our patients about their experiences thus far during the pandemic, they have expressed all of the above concerns as the common theme.
As the weather around us improves, the problem becomes we all want to get back outside. Some to return to exercise and sports while others are returning to gardening and yardwork. All of this while we are at our weakest, stiffest, and most deconditioned. So what can we do?
Now is the perfect time to seek the assistance of your Physical Therapist as you return back to your normal activities. By assessing and screening your mobility, strength, and functional movement patterns we can create the proper plan to make sure that you minimize your risk of injury as you jump start back.
