The human body adapts to physical stress with a remodeling

process to make us stronger and more functional.  

but, a fine balance between the breakdown and

the buildup of tissue must be managed.  if breakdown

occurs more rapidly than buildup, an overuse injury occurs. 

• Listen to your body.  Remember that the "no pain, no gain" rule does not apply here. 

• Use the 10% rule to help determine how to take things to the "next level".  You should not increase your training program or activity more than 10% per week, allowing your body adequate time for recovery and response.  This same rule applies to increasing pace or mileage for walkers/runners and the amount of weight added in strength training programs.   

• Consult your coach/trainer for proper technique. 

• Always warm up and cool down properly. 

• Incorporate exercises for strength training, increasing flexibility and improving core stability. 
• Visit RCSC to ensure your program fits your fitness level in a safe manner.

Prevention is the best medicine!

Ensuring backpacks are worn appropriately

Can prevent injuries and health problems for children

whose bodies are still developing and growing.

• Choose It Right - Select a backpack with wide cushioned straps to distribute weight evenly on the shoulders. Also, a waist strap can help stabilize the load so it doesn't flop around.

• Pack It Right -  A loaded backpack should not exceed 15% of the wearer's body weight. Pack heaviest objects first, carried low and close to the body. 

• Lift It Right - Check the weight of the backpack. Then, face the backpack, bend at the knees and lift with the legs, not with the back. Always use two hands and slip on one strap at a time.

• Wear It Right - Use both shoulder straps, making sure they are snug but not too tight. If the backpack touches the back above the collar line, the straps are too tight. If the pack has a waist strap, be sure to use it.  *Extracted from www.anjc.info

SUMMER IS HERE AND IT'S TIME FOR KIDS TO GET OUTSIDE. 

MAKE SURE THEY ARE TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES WITH REGULAR ADJUSTMENTS

TO EASE THE STRESS ON THEIR GROWING BODIES.

• Chiropractic adjustments keep the body aligned and offset tightness and imbalances they may have from the school year.

• If your child takes a fall, make sure they are properly evaluated. Even simple falls can lead to issues that linger!

• Make sure your child is properly hydrated before going outside in the summer heat.  Even while playing in water our body loses water from sweat!

• If your child intends on running this summer make certain their shoes are properly fitted.
