Overall Health Tips

• Sleep, proper nutrition and hydration all have proven to be important things to keep in mind when recovering from an injury.
• Hot liquids aren’t just for comfort in front of the fire anymore. They have been shown to heat up your immune system and prevent certain ailments.
• There are many different causes of headaches, but a large majority of the headaches we suffer from are caused by the neck. Physical therapy approaches treatment by specifically treating the part of the neck that is responsible for the symptoms and then addressing the underlying causes of the headache.
• If you are a “weekend warrior,” someone who tries to cram a week’s worth of activity into two short weekend days, you run a higher risk of joint and muscle injuries. This is especially true of the joints and muscles of the knee, shoulder and elbow. When being active, make sure to be on a consistent program.
