Don’t let all the extra time and psych set you up for needed/forced time off because you’ve over run yourself into and an injury. All injuries are a result of loading: we’ve loaded tissue beyond its capacity and it becomes reactive (painful and limiting). This is no different for running, climbing, biking, or skiing.
__________ Here are some tips to make sure we are loading controlled and appropriately:
Keep a log: track mileage and effort
Vary your running pace: try some speed specific workouts
Vary terrain/routes: seek out new areas or new running partners
LISTEN TO YOU BODY: sleep hygiene, diet, stress control.
Gradually load!: Follow the 10% rule strategic volume increase by only 10%, including a “down” week following 2-3 weeks of increased volume.”
Sharpen your sword: running is a skill, improve your skill set.

Nikki Kimball 's PT training at home advice: Don’t forget the core! We are lucky in #Bozeman to have enough space to continue walking, running, biking and skiing, at safe social distances, outside. That said, our ability to perform outdoor sports and activities can always be improved through exercises that can be done at home. Use this time to make a lasting habit of core exercise, sport-specific drills or body maintenance work (think foam rolling). For runners, Molly Huddle has some great ideas in a recent Runner’s World online article: https://zcu.io/vPQ0

Hello valued and treasured patients and friends, W

Hello valued and treasured patients and friends, We are sharing the official update 3-26-2020 link from the GV Health Department and MT Governor State Directive today that specifically authorizes physical therapy services.
https://zcu.io/PIuxcoronavirus-covid-19/
We are currently one of the few options for those who are suffering due to cancelled surgeries, chronic pain, and other issues during this unprecedented time where healthcare has suddenly become a precious commodity. We continue to practice increased screening measures for all patients entering our Bozeman clinic and these same screening measures apply to our staff as well, along with a no visitors with patients policy. We have staggered our patient and PT provider schedules to provide for social distancing guidelines on both levels of our Bozeman office. Our entire team is working very hard each day to follow all CDC and local health department guidelines to help ensure all of our safety and protection from COVID-19. https://zcu.io/PIuxwp-content/uploads/2020/03/Amend-EHR-2020-001.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3QACDcXpmYawuP_2i9_dWXLRu_d6oWy3h3LQhkZNBjBvzsD3JrQiff8R8
