Spring time advise from your Chiropractor in
Warrensburg & Shawnee!
It's that time of year again. The grass is growing, the flower beds are in need of a makeover, and your garden is waiting for your master's touch.
The one thing I can count on each spring is an increase of patients from working in the yard. While I do enjoy seeing the patients I may have not seen in a while, there are some things that can be done to avoid injuries.
YARD WORK TIPS
- Stretch out prior to beginning any project. If you are coming in regularly, I should have given you some good general neck and back stretches. If you have not been given the stretches, feel free to stop in the office and I will be happy to go over them with you.
- Drink plenty of water while working in the yard, and use appropriate protection from the sun, bugs and the elements.
- Make sure to take your vitamin and supplements. Your body needs the nutrition as it is asked to do more. Especially, remember the magnesium {for relaxing muscles and prevent cramping}, Omega 3's for your joints and heart, and a good quality whole food multi-vitamin for general nutrition such as Catalyn.
- See your Chiropractor...Stop in the office for a "tune-up". We have no problem taking our lawn mower into the shop for a tune-up, but we don't usually think about our body--the most important "machine" in the yard working process. It's always good to make sure your spine is aligned and ready for the season ahead.
- Start out slowly, don't tackle the hardest job first--let your body work up to the task. Instead of working all day the first day, work 2-3 hours and then slowly work more hours as your body begins to adjust to the new activity level.
- Take frequent breaks as you work. Prolonged bending, squatting, lifting, or repetitive tasks, are all precursors to injuries.
- Listen to your body...If it says "ouch" then stop! The saying "no pain, no gain" is for weight lifting, not the average weekend warrior. Weight lifters are continuously breaking down muscles, and building them up again. Some muscle soreness after the job is normal as you begin working muscles that have been resting for the winter, but pain while you work is your body's way of telling you "something is not right...stop!!!"
- Most of all enjoy what you are doing.
