Build a Stronger Back

Back pain affects over 31 million Americans and is the second most common reason for visits to the doctor’s office. Back pain takes the fun out of life.  But don’t worry, we’ve got your back – back health that is! 

In order to keep your body healthy and your muscles and joints flexible and pain-free, try these soft-tissue exercises. These can be done with a lacrosse ball or another rubber ball on the wall.  Nourish your muscles so you can get back to doing the things you love. 

In order to build a stronger back, you have to keep your muscles loose. Try these exercises to increase circulation.  Massage each tight muscle for 1-2 minutes focusing pressure on the tender spots.

If you are experiencing back pain now, call today to be seen within one week for an evaluation.  Our PTs can get you started on a treatment plan quickly, so you can eliminate your pain and get back to the activities you enjoy.

Exercise can lower your risk for Severe Covid-19, Death

Now going on two years with the Covid-19 pandemic, we are all asking ourselves, ‘how do we move on with our lives and live with this virus?’

An April 2021 study from the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that people who exercised 150 minutes per week or more had a much lower risk of severe Covid-19 and even death.  The study showed that people who did some physical activity fared better than those who did not exercise. “Exercise has been shown over and over again to be one of the best ways to stay healthy. No one ever regrets a good workout,” said Rich Baudry, Founder of Baudry Therapy Center I BRIO.

150 minutes of exercise/week = 21 minutes/day,  Monday-Sunday or 30 minutes/day,  Monday – Friday.

This is equal to:

  • 30 minutes of walking with a lunch group at work.
  • 21 minutes of movement and activity a day like gardening, walking, swimming, strength training, walking in the grocery store and parking further to walk more.
