Back to School Sports
Heading back to school means the start of a new sports season for many students. Staying healthy and taking care of your well-being are essential for performing at your best. Here are some back-to-school sports health and wellness tips to help you have a successful and enjoyable school year:

Warm-up and cool down: Always begin your sports activities with a proper warm-up to increase blood flow to your muscles and reduce the risk of injury. Likewise, after your workouts, cool down with gentle stretches to help your muscles recover and prevent stiffness. Check out our sports recovery services that will assist in rejuvenating and loosening your muscles.

Use proper gear: Wear appropriate sports equipment and footwear that fit well and provide adequate support. This helps prevent injuries and ensures you can perform optimally. Our Lakeview clinic offers orthotics to find the right foot supports for you.

Listen to your body: Pay attention to any signs of pain or discomfort. If you experience an injury or feel unwell, don't push through it. Rest and seek medical attention if needed.

Blog: Functional Capacity Evaluation (FCE): Frequently Asked Questions
Known by the acronym FCE, a functional capacity evaluation is a medical test that is required when you file a workers’ compensation claim. The purpose of an FCE is to determine the extent to which your injuries will prevent you from completing your job duties. The test will also be used to create a timeline for your return to physical work. Your physician will most likely order your FCE test, but it may also be required by a lawyer, your employer, or your insurance company. Continue to read our full blog to find out more information.

“As a physical therapist, I’ve always taken the approach of treating the whole person. There is not one simple fix for each diagnosis since every person has a different background and different goals. With this personalized approach, I am able to bond with each patient so I can treat the person in front of me, not just their diagnosis. This allows me to use the right treatment and skills to help my patients get better so they can return to the things they love to do.”
