Hot Spring Spas
PRLog (Press Release) – Oct. 28, 2013 – SANTA ROSA, Calif. — Rancho Murieta, CA 95683 – “Physical therapy isn’t just for those people who suffer from injuries or a sudden illness. Some pain is long term, and people suffer from them for years.” said Dan Friedman, vice president of The Hot Tub Store.
“Physical therapy can help all types of long term pain such as that from arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, lymphedema, osteoporosis, musculoskeletal disorders, COPD and back pain,” continued Friedman. Here are three ways to get involved in physical therapy month and avoid injury.
Carry Backpacks Correctly – Backpacks are a popular way to carry work and school-related materials. Not wearing a backpack the way it’s designed to be worn can cause a lot of undue strain that leads to injury. Parents who use National Physical Therapy Month to educate their kids on the best ways to carry a backpack can help them avoid years of pain.
Also, according to the American Physical Therapy Association, kids should not carry more than 15% of their body weight in a backpack. Everyone, no matter what age should carry a backpack over both shoulders, not slung over one. The unbalanced weight on one shoulder puts stress on the lower back, shoulders and neck.
Anyone who carries a backpack regularly can speak with a physical therapist to be sure they are using it correctly. Parents can make an appointment before the school year to have a therapist evaluate their children’s backpack and show them how to use it.
Keep Bones Healthy – Regular physical exercise is a great way to protect bones from stress-related injuries. A physical therapist can also develop a good plan for people as they age, to help fight the effects of osteoporosis and arthritis.
Work-related injuries such as lower back pain, carpal tunnel and other repetitive injuries are also avoidable through a good therapy program. While physical therapy will help people who already suffer from those ailments, anyone who works in an environment known to cause those problems can protect themselves by speaking with a therapist ahead of time.
Make The Home a Place of Therapy – Add a hot tub to the patio or porch and make any backyard an instant therapy clinic. Hot tubs have many therapeutic values including relief from muscle and joint pain, stress relief and they also add value to the home, while giving the whole family a great place to gather.
The social value of the hot tub for family members is also therapeutic. It gives people a place to talk, open up, and a calm place to discuss problems. Hot tubs are also great stress relievers, lowering blood pressure and increasing blood flow, so every member of the family can get the health benefits while experiencing the enjoyable atmosphere a hot tub creates.
“We think this is a great opportunity to actually show local residents the positive effects that soaking in a hot tub spa can have in terms of improving the overall quality of their lives. That’s why we will provide free hot tub test soaks in all five of our locations throughout the entire month,” said Friedman. “We want residents to check out all the benefits of a relaxing in HotSpring Spa and hot tub for themselves.”
