The effects of the pandemic on injuries and exercise

The pandemic impacted everyone’s daily lives, from how and where we work to how and where we work out. These changes to our regular routines resulted in more aches and pains and, for some, more injuries.

Most of these injuries were related to making abrupt changes from under-doing it to overdoing it. The “terrible too’s” ensued: too much, too soon, too heavy, too fast. The root of most injuries, aside from trauma, is doing more than the body is ready for.

Although most minor aches or pains resolve on their own, a physical therapist should evaluate pain that lasts more than a few weeks. Often there is a simple solution to resolve the pain, and our physical therapists can provide you with the guidance you need.

It’s time to commit this New Year to prevent a mild pain or strain from becoming a debilitating injury!

How physical therapy can help you this New Year

Whether you’re a weekend warrior, signing up for regular fitness classes, or making more effort to be active, physical therapy can help you resolve and prevent an injury. A physical therapist will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the injury’s severity and identify any weaknesses or limitations that may affect your recovery.

Our physical therapists are experts at designing a comprehensive program using the most valuable corrective exercises that would work best for you to get you on the path to being strong, stretched, and stable!
