People are shaking off the winter rust and becoming more active. While there are many health benefits to living an active lifestyle, getting back in action after months of inactivity could lead to injury. This is especially true for baby boomers that face new challenges from natural aging. “After periods of inactivity, anyone over the age of 50 should check with a medical professional before beginning a new exercise regimen,” said Neil Moss, partner and clinical director of Professional Physical Therapy in Bayside. “Once given the green light, remember to incorporate injury prevention techniques, such as an active warm-up. The most important thing is your exercise form. Exercises performed incorrectly can lead to injury. “Baby boomers are particularly at risk for injury due to the effects of natural aging such as the loss of muscle mass, bone mass, and soft tissue elasticity. Learning proper injury prevention techniques can help boomers stay active and injury free. At Professional Physical Therapy, we help patients of all ages with custom rehabilitation treatments and injury prevention plans for sports and activities of daily living.” For more information about Professional Physical Therapy, visit 21-42 Utopia Parkway in Bayside, professionalpt.com or call 718-767-0610.
