Are you ready for the summer? We know we are! The warm weather poses so many new and fun activities, from summer teams to beach trips to clubs and camps. With all the hustle and bustle of summertime activities, it can sometimes be difficult to remember to take care of your health on top of everything else you have going on. At OSR Physical Therapy, we want to make sure you are still maintaining your optimum levels of health and fitness, even when you’re lounging on the sand! Contact us today for more information, and follow our following helpful tips: 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 can 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 nights a week – you deserve it!

5 Ways to Take Care of Your Health During the Busy Summer Months

(Continued from outside)

3.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 will get you moving! There are several outdoor activities that will 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. 4.Maintain a Healthy Diet. According to a United States survey conducted in 2015, it was concluded that the restaurant industry is at its peak during summer months – reaching 745.61 billion American dollars in the summer of 2015 alone. 20% of Americans reported visiting “quick service” restaurants once a week, while 72% reported visiting “quick service” restaurants for lunch every day. This dining spike occurs because more people tend to venture out in the summer

and dine outside; however, this can pose some health risks if you are not careful. Maintain a healthy diet this summer by making healthy choices when you dine out and balancing dining with exercise. You can also opt to meal prep at home and enjoy your home-made lunches or dinners on a nice patio! 5.Contact Us for Help. Do you want to find out more about how you can stay as healthy as possible this summer? Contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our licensed physical therapists. At OSR Physical Therapy, we want to make sure you stay safe this summer – we want you to be able to enjoy it! If you find yourself in any sort of pain, or if you’d simply like some extra motivational assistance, don’t hesitate to contact us at our clinic nearest you. We’ll provide you with the resources you need for a healthy and happy summer!

Relieve Pain In Minutes Strengthens Core

“My back is in the best shape ever.”

ABDOMINAL BRACING Lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat on floor. Place your hands on the front of your pelvis and contract your deep core. Straighten one knee. Return foot to the starting position. Alternate legs one at a time. Repeat 10 times on both sides.

“Ihavebeen inandoutofphysical therapy since my accident. I found OSR when I finally had enough, and decided to try to relieve myself from pain.

I walked into OSR with a chip on my shoulder and then I met my Physical Therapist... that day changed my life. She assured me that my treatment plan would be personalized for me and that she would explain things as we went along. I have had constant back, neck, and shoulder pain for 25 years and I can say that since I have worked with OSR the last year of my life, my pain level has gone down to a level I can tolerate. My back is in the best shape ever. After having terrible shoulder and neck pain, needling has helped my shoulder and neck and even giving me some mobility. I am very impressed with my Physical Therapist at OSR and I’m so glad I found someone who really listens and cares about the patients.”

Every Spring our team gathers together to continue to strengthen our Culture, Patient Care, and Staff Development. We value this time so much as we have seen the benefits of continued training and the detailed focus on providing excellent service to our friends, families and communities!
