Dr. Haworth bring you another health tip. This one is about warm up and the proper things you should do before activity. A lot of the times before are doing what’s called a static stretch, holding in one position for time. The research is saying it’s better to do a dynamic warm up. For example, arm circles for the shoulders and/or lunges to get the hips moving. It’s important to get motion and get in the full range of motion, in a controlled manner. Then at the end of practice or activity, go into more static stretching to let things loosen up while the muscles are warm. Thanks for watching and we’ll see you next time.
Ice vs. Heat
Ice and heat have their time and place when they are the most effective. Use the right one at the right time and you will find yourself recovering faster and hurting less.
