Spring is here! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and it’s the perfect time to get outside and move. Whether you’re gardening, jogging, or playing sports, Alton Physical Therapy is here to help you enjoy an active, pain-free season.
Top Tips for a Safe & Healthy Spring:
✅ Warm Up & Stretch – Before heading outside, do some light stretching to prepare your muscles and joints.
✅ Ease Back into Activity – If you’ve been less active during winter, start slow and gradually increase intensity.
✅ Stay Hydrated – Warmer temps mean more sweat! Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration.
✅ Use Proper Posture & Form – Whether lifting garden tools or running, use proper technique to avoid strain.
✅ Listen to Your Body – Soreness is normal, but persistent pain could be a sign of injury—don’t ignore it!
