It's getting HOT out there Austin!
Here are some tips for staying hydrated in this HEAT🥵👇

✨Carry a water bottle with you and make it a habit to take sips throughout the day.
✨Set reminders on your phone to drink water, especially if you have a busy schedule and tend to forget (there are apps for this too!)
✨Add electrolytes such as nuun tablets (less sugar) after completion of exercising for an hour, or Liquid IV if you are continuing to exercise over an hour because it has sugar (glucose) to help provide extra energy to keep moving.
✨Add in some hydrating foods such as watermelon, strawberries, citrus fruits, cucumber, and/or leafy greens.

Hydration is not just about quenching your thirst but also keeping your body functioning at its best. 💪

So listen to your body's signs of hydration and make sure to prioritize drinking enough water each day.
Your body will thank you! 😊

Stay tuned for our upcoming post on the signs of dehydration!

Most physical therapists you’ll find are “people persons” and are empaths, so a good PT should naturally incorporate principles of trauma-informed care. 🧠

However, integrating trauma-informed principles into physical therapy requires ongoing education and training for healthcare professionals.

It involves developing a deep understanding of trauma’s impacts, recognizing potential triggers, and implementing strategies to create a safe and empowering environment for patients.

And if you're in need of a trauma-informed doctor of physical therapy, schedule your no-obligation consultation. ⁠We can't wait to learn more about you!⁠ ✨

When people feel safe, heard, and understood, they're more likely to fully engage in their treatment plan and make progress toward their goals. ⁠
⁠
This is especially crucial for trauma survivors, as past experiences may have left them feeling unsafe or unsure about trusting healthcare providers. 💔⁠
⁠
By creating a safe space, trauma-informed providers help patients feel more comfortable and open to the healing process. This can lead to better treatment adherence, fewer dropouts, and ultimately more successful outcomes. ✨⁠
⁠
The thing is, the impact of trauma can show up in so many different ways, both emotionally and physically. By understanding and addressing these unique experiences, physical therapists can create a treatment plan that's tailored to each patient's specific needs.⁠
⁠
We believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and empowered in their healing journey. That's why we're so passionate about providing trauma-informed care and creating a space where healing can truly begin. ⁠

Thank you for being in our community!!

We are so grateful for each and every one of you!!

Here's to hoping for a very chill winter with no power outages here in Austin 😂

Are you avoiding Deadlifts because someone told you they'd "wreck your back"?

Many people avoid them out of fear of injury or simply lacking confidence in the movement.

Totally understandable! The name "deadlift" doesn't exactly sound welcoming, plus there's tons of misinformation online leading to assumptions they are a high-risk movement. 😫

But the reality is injury rates are LOW even for those with back pain!!

Research increasingly supports including them in rehab programs under guidance. 🔍

Deadlifts can safely strengthen back muscles, improve movement patterns, and reduce pain when progressively loaded with good form.

Check our latest blog to understand why they may benefit even those with low back issues and ideal strategies to implement them. 💪 🔗https://resilient-rx.com/are-deadlifts-safe-to-do-with-low-back-pain/

Do deadlifts safely reduce low back pain? 🤔

Research says yes - when added to physical therapy programs, deadlifts can significantly improve function and reduce disability.

🔎In one study, patients followed a 16-week rehab protocol of mobility exercises plus hip hinge movements progressing to deadlifts. 83% saw clinically meaningful improvements in pain and function!

🔎Another trial added deadlifts to standard PT for 3 months. The deadlift group reduced their low back disability and pain scores much more than PT alone.

Deadlifts dynamically load and strengthen back muscles and train better movement patterns in a progressive, controlled way.

✅So while deadlifts seem counterintuitive for back pain, structured programs can help reduce symptoms and regain strength and mobility.

Feeling more aches and pains than usual?

🤔 It might be more than just physical symptoms at play!

🧠💡 When anxiety takes hold, our body’s response can actually amplify how we perceive pain.

Ongoing symptoms like headaches, muscle aches, and fatigue could very well be your body sounding the alarm on high stress levels.

Here's what you can do:

1️⃣ Understand the connection between stress, anxiety, and pain perception.
2️⃣ Recognize the signs before they evolve into chronic pain.
3️⃣ Take proactive measures to address both your mental and physical well-being.

Your body and mind are interconnected.
Listen to them both! 👂❤️
