Being a mom is serious work! SEEK PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR PAIN RELIEF

Do you often find yourself putting the needs of your children before your own? Being a mom is serious work! And when you're responsible for taking care of everyone else, it can be challenging to make sure you're maintaining an active lifestyle. Are you getting enough exercise? If the answer is no, you’re certainly not alone. In fact, 80 percent of the U.S. population falls short of the Physical Activity Guidelines recommended by the Department of Health and Human Services. Getting active can feel difficult and time-consuming, especially when you have a family to take care of. However, the good news is, a physical therapist can help! Could you benefit from a personalized exercise program that incorporates pain-relieving properties? If so, contact OSR Physical Therapy today! Your good health is our number one priority. Contact us to learn more about our personalized exercise programs and keep reading to discover seven easy tips from our office for getting some much-needed extra exercise. Not getting enough exercise? Try these 7 tips. 1. Participate in a new sport. Exercising at the end of a long day doesn't have to be a chore; it can actually be fun! Have you considered learning to play tennis, golf, surfing, swimming, running, or a team sport like soccer or softball? All of these sports provide different physical benefits and get you up and moving.

2. Walk more. Even for a quick trip to the mailbox or the corner store, many people automatically get into their cars. What if you walked for a few minutes instead of driving every day? Walking may not seem like much of a workout, but it improves circulation, exercises your legs and feet, helps you lose weight, keeps your joints limber, and relieves stress. 3. Spend less time sitting. Standing desks are becoming increasingly popular in the workplace, and for good reason. Standing at your desk instead of sitting can help you avoid unwanted weight gain, regulate blood sugar levels after meals, relieve back pain, improve your mood and energy level, lower your risk of heart disease, and add years to your life. You might even discover that you get more work done! 4. Try biking. If walking to the corner store takes too long, maybe it's time to try biking. Cycling works different muscles than walking, making it a valuable formof exercise. When you need to travel a little farther at a little faster pace, biking is the perfect solution. It also provides a substantial cardio workout.
