Holiday Injury Trends

The holidays are a time for family, friends, and fun. It's also a time when many people find themselves dealing with injuries. Here are the top 3 Holiday injury trends we are seeing at Well Equipt.

🌲 One of the most common holiday-related injuries is neck and lower back pain. This can be caused by carrying heavy packages or sleeping in an unfamiliar bed. By using specialized exercises and stretches, physical therapists can help reduce inflammation and promote healing.

🌲 Another common injury during the holidays is post-op knees and hips. Physical therapy can help you improve your mobility and reduce pain after surgery. Physical therapists can provide exercises to help strengthen the area and restore the range of motion.

🌲 Additionally, stress-induced chronic pain can be a problem during the holiday season. This can manifest itself in headaches, neck pain, and lower back pain. Physical therapists can create treatment plans that incorporate relaxation techniques, massage therapy, and other interventions to help reduce tension and increase flexibility.

If you suffer from any of these injuries, physical therapy can help get you back on your feet in no time. In addition to helping reduce pain and improve mobility, our physical therapists can also provide you with tips on how to prevent future injuries.
