7 helpful tips to reduce your pain

Physical therapy treatments can help improve your health, but they only work if you apply healthy lifestyle choices in your everyday life, as well. Some tips you can do on your own to become healthier, stronger, and more active include:

1. Taking care of aches and pains. Don’t let these longterm problems linger.

2. Limiting your sitting. Get up every 30 minutes to walk around at work and home.

3. Getting out and moving. Exercise regularly, even if it’s just taking a short walk every day.

4. Maintaining a nutritious diet and controlling portions. Make sure your food intake is nutritious and portioned. By chewing your food thoroughly, you won’t feel as if you have to eat as much.

5. Drinking more water. Water keeps your body systems functioning at an optimum level.

6. Breathing! Work on your deep breathing in order to increase your oxygen intake and get your lymphatic system moving.

7. Getting enough sleep. Sleep at least 8 hours a day. It is best to get into a routine where you are going to bed and waking up on a regular cycle. This helps your endocrine system.
