During this next upcoming Memorial day holiday, and the weeks in preparation for Memorial day, lets keep safety in mind. If you experience increased discomfort please notify your DSL/Resource.
Remember to take a few extra minutes to stretch, and keep yourself hydrated with the increasing temperatures. Heat related cramping and muscle fatigue associated with increased hours are very common during this time of year. Please seek out your on-site therapist or safety point for further guidence. Here is a simple, but effective stretch for you to do during your work day. Stop, with hands on the waist, gently lean back displacing your upper body behind your hips. Most patients view this as back stretch, however, this is actually a stretch for your abdominal muscles. This is a great stretch to facilitate an upright posture. Repeat several times with out pain. Please see your on-site therapist for more stretching options.
