With the sunny days of spring arriving, here are some tips for keeping safe out there:

#1: To get up and down from the ground safely, you may need to use a support. This could be a chair or ledge. You may also find it helpful to use a kneeler (available at garden centres or hardware stores) to assist you to get up and down from the ground and increase your comfort kneeling.

#2: When lifting plants and soil, it is important to use a proper lifting technique to avoid injury. Key principles for safe lifting include:

Lift only what you can manage.

Keep object close to your body and face it, if possible.

Your ideal lifting posture should be: feet shoulder width apart with one foot slightly ahead of the other, chest forward and lower back arched at all times, bend knees to lift object with legs.

Once carrying the object, avoid twisting your back.

#3: The ideal posture for gardening has your shoulder blades squeezed. Avoid rounding your shoulders and poking your chin forward.

#4: To avoid discomfort in your joints, change your position regularly.

#5: Interrupt gardening to carefully stretch your back, thighs and neck.

#6: Always wear sunscreen and a hat, and keep hydrated even if you don’t feel thirsty.

#7: If you’ve been inactive, be sure to check with your health-care provider before starting physical activity. .

As physiotherapy clinics are re-opening, we ask for your patience as we take careful measures to:

Limiting the number of people onsite
Staggering start and end times, for appointments and staff hours, • Ensuring physical distancing between workstations • Establishing effective cleaning and disinfection procedures. • Limiting our hours of operation
Please note that:
Services that can be safely and effectively provided via telerehabilitation, should continue to be the preferred method of delivery for treatment
In-person services must only proceed when the anticipated benefits of such services outweigh the risks to the patient and the physiotherapist.

Your physiotherapist is accountable and is the person best positioned to determine the need for, urgency and appropriateness of in-person services.

Working grip exercises into your program can aid i

Working grip exercises into your program can aid in preventing certain pain syndromes like tendonitis, which is generally caused by neglecting certain muscle groups and overuse of others. When your grip strength improves, you'll likely notice the rest of your lifts and max strength improving as well.

It is important to work on different TYPES of grip in your grip strength training. Some of the different grips to incorporate into training include:

1) Crush grip
2) Open Crush grip
3) Pinch grip
4) Finger grip
5) Extension
A few of my favourite exercises for grip strength that are easy to replicate at home are shown in the videos:

1) Hand digitizers and grip strengtheners
2) Farmer's Carry with a towel
3) Pinch Grip
4) Extension .

I did these at the end of my workout when I had a little left in the tank and wanted to blast what was left of my core!
Try 3x30 seconds of these and let me know what you think! 🤓 .
