Injuries and Spring Time Tasks

During my master’s program we learned about the term ‘Weekend Warriors”. The term was used to describe individuals who work at a sedentary job during the week and then complete physical, heavy tasks on the weekend. These individuals may become injured as their bodies are not used to the increased heavy work. With the nicer spring time weather approaching many people will start to become these ‘weekend warriors’.

Spring time tasks may include yard work which may require raking, bending to pick up sticks and other springtime debris, and prolonged bending to work up ground in flower beds and plant new flowers. Even though I try to be physically active during the week, after a long weekend of spring cleanup of our yard I find my back feels like it had a big work out and may remain sore for a couple days.

Another heavy task may include changing tires of a vehicle from snow tires to regular tires, which includes repetitive bending and heavy lifting. Springtime may also include cleaning the inside and outside of vehicles. This task includes repetitive bending, reaching, and awkward positions.

Luckily my husband always completes the job of climbing onto the roof and cleaning all the leaves out of the eaves troughs, but by the time he is done he tends to mention about pain is his back and knees from being bent over for so long.

Although these tasks need to be completed some things that may help decrease the chance of injury during the task or pain after completion may include: a proper warm up including a short walk and dynamic stretches, and a proper cool down including static stretches once the task has been completed.

So if you think you are strong like a warrior, remember to protect your body from injury and pain before entering the battlefield of a task.

Ways to Stay Active During Social Distancing

I was out for a walk with my husband and kids the other night when we walked past a driveway filled with sidewalk chalk and the saying “Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving.” Although everyone should be practicing social distancing at this time it is still important for physical and mental health to stay active.

Although the options may be limited compared to times prior to social distancing there are still many options to choose from.

With the weather changing and becoming warmer, walking or biking around your neighbourhood or along many of the walking paths around town is a great option as long as you keep a distance of at least approximately 2 meters from anyone around.

On days when the weather doesn’t cooperate and you are forced indoors, there are many online yoga and exercise classes that you may be able to join. Prior to beginning any class make sure you have been cleared by a medical professional to exercise and pick a class that matches your fitness level. Another fitness activity you may complete if you love the stair master at the gym is walking or running up/down the stairs in your home (if you have any).

If you are lucky enough to be able to still work from home, if your business has closed its doors, try to stand up and move approximately every 30 minutes. My husband is able to work from home, but rather than being able to walk to and from his desk for meetings or to have consultations with different coworkers he is completing those tasks from the same chair in his home office. I educated him to get up and move as much as he can as his sedentary job has become even more sedentary.

If you have been able to continue to be active during these tough times make sure you continue to stay hydrated. Also, if you have been able to stay active but are still struggling with stress and anxiety try some meditation to help with mental health. Taking repetitive deep breaths may also help with relaxation.

Please try to stay healthy during this time but at the same time keep moving to stay balanced.

Acupuncture – Small Needles with Large Impact

,

Acupuncture, originating in China more than 2500 years ago, is a powerful treatment that we are seeing be consistently “proven” through rigorous research. Contrary to popular Western belief, it does not just involve inserting small, thin needles into a specific body location to alleviate pain. It is a used to help correct imbalances of energy in the body and treat many diseases as well as improve general health, along with alleviate aches and pains. If needles make you anxious take comfort in knowing that acupuncture needles are significantly thinner than syringes and the treatment is relatively painless. Many patients describe a calming effect post treatment.

Traditional acupuncture points follow the various nerve pathways in our body. By tapping into these spots, we can help calm and rewire the nervous system to relieve pain, ease anxiety, and regulate various processes.

Acupuncture can treat many conditions. At the Health Centre of Milton we have a variety of practitioners who use this tool as a part of their treatment plans. Our chiropractor and physiotherapist (physical therapist) use medical acupuncture to aid in treating conditions related to the musculoskeletal system:

 

Back Pain Relief + Arthritis

Acupuncture is an excellent natural pain reliever. It also provides longer term results than simply popping an Advil because it helps decrease inflammation and promote healing at the site of pain. It is also a great tool to help speed up recover from muscular and bone injuries.

If you are looking for a more holistic approach a naturopath or naturopathic doctor will use acupuncture to treat more systemic conditions:

 

Maximizing Fertility + Reducing Labor Time

This is one of the amazing ways we can use acupuncture AND the research is continuing to support it! Research has shown that using acupuncture around fertility treatments significantly increasing the chances of conception. We can also use it to regulate periods and increase natural conception as well. Once you are pregnant, keep acupuncture in your mind. Weekly treatments starting at week 37 have been shown to reduce the time spent in labor. This reduces the chances of complications and of course speeds up your introduction to your beautiful baby.

 

Anxiety + Insomnia

Regular acupuncture helps shift your body out of the sympathetic system (a.k.a fight or flight stress mode) into the parasympathetic system which is our calming rest and digest state.

Shifting into our parasympathetic state helps reduce anxiety, promote sleep, and support healthy digestion.
