The Top Causes of Muscle Soreness Almost everyone has experienced body aches. They can put a damper on anyone’s mood and make even the simplest tasks more tedious. But stopping muscle aches when you don’t know what’s causing them can be difficult. By simply knowing the top causes of muscle soreness, you can arm yourself against pain and put a stop to it. Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) Simply put, delayed-onset muscle soreness is muscle pain that occurs one to three days... after strenuous physical exertion such as a workout or physical labor. The pain is usually localized to the areas that went through the exertion (e.g., if you were running, your legs may hurt. If you were lifting boxes, your arms and back may hurt, et cetera). The best way to avoid DOMS is to take preemptive action. Stretching before and after a workout goes a long way toward preventing or lessening muscle soreness, as does staying hydrated and getting enough sleep. Injuries Injuries of all types, falls, and surgeries are naturally painfulnot only in the moment, but also in the days, weeks, and even years after. For recent injuries, rest is the most important strategy for treatment. After this, elevating the injury, compression, and ice are all effective for bringing relief. If an old injury has been plaguing you, it may be time to seek physical therapy for relief. We carry a "wide range" of supports/braces that may also help. Health Conditions A number of medical conditions may cause you to experience muscle pain. One of the more common chronic health conditions behind muscle pain is fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is best treated with a combination of medication, physical therapy, and self-care, such as sleeping well and exercise. Chronic issues aren’t the only health reasons behind muscle pain, though. Even a bad case of the flu can make you sore. In this case, simple rest, hydration, and medicine are the only solutions. Tension & Stress If you’re experiencing stress or anxiety, it’s possible you’re holding tension in your muscles without even noticing it. When you’re stressed, your body goes into a natural fight or flight response because it’s tensed for action, even if there aren’t any physical actions to take. Because this is a physical pain stemming from psychological distress, it’s best to go about curing it from both angles. Identify where in your body you’re holding tensioncommon areas are the shoulders, neck, feet, hands, and hipsand practice releasing tension from those areas. If you have been holding the tension for a long time, releasing it without outside aid may be difficult. We carry "Dr HO" TENS which is an excellent method for tension relief. After this, identifying the causes of your distress and working through it will help your body hold less tension in the future.

Why Appropriate Footwear is a Critical Consideration in Retirement Communities Falls are the most common cause of injury among older Canadians and the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations; and these are on the rise. It is estimated that 1 in 3 seniors aged 65 years and older are likely to fall at least once. Falls can lead to negative mental health outcomes such as fear of falling, loss of autonomy and greater isolation, confusion, immobilization, and depression. ...Poor balance, taking four or more prescription medicines and muscle weakness are the three primary risk factors for falling. Elderly people without these risk factors have a 12% chance of falling, while those with all three have almost a 100% chance. When evaluating fall prevention strategies, finding seniors affordable, comfortable, therapeutic, and orthopedic footwear is not always a consideration, yet it definitely should be. You can market your business and foot health care credentials in retirement communities and facilities to help mitigate these risks. An examination of their feet may also shed some insight into some prevailing risk factors, such as swollen feet, unclipped toenails, calluses, sores in between toes, hammertoes, bunions, heel pain, corns and arthritis which can all lead to a compromised gait which affects balance. Five things to consider when looking for geriatric footwear: Comfort: When shoes are not comfortable, patients dont wear them, so this is an extremely important factor. Shoes protect feet from trauma and can help keep elderly people stay active, which prevents muscle atrophy or deterioration. Overall, it can decrease the risk of falls. Weight factor and easy to put on and take off: A lightweight shoe will allow the patient to walk longer and farther, whereas a heavy shoe will tire them much sooner. As well, Velcro closures with adjustable straps are preferred to make it easier for them to don and doff the shoes. Delayed heel strike and toe spring: the shoes sole design is crucial to minimize the risk of stumbling and tripping. The heel strike should not occur prematurely, and the toe spring should not grip surfaces like carpet. Accommodation in toe box: A deep toe box with a stretchy and moldable material will provide relief from bunions, overlapping toes, hammertoes, rheumatoid arthritis, and hallux valgus. Affordability: The majority of seniors are on fixed budgets; therefore, cost is a major factor to consider. By keeping the price expectations on par with a pair of good running shoes, the investment in appropriate footwear is justified.

Here is another Foot Care Nurse that can help you.
I will no longer be offering "Foot Care Clinics" at the store. There have been so many changes with COVID, Public Health etc. It is with a "heavy heart" that I had to come to this decision. I do know some wonderful Nurses who are providing this service in your home. I can forward you the information. Thank you for all of your support during these trying times. xo
We now have the non-contact thermometers...limited supply. We also have masks in which you can buy 2 at a time or by the box of 50. I would recommend buying the 2 pack at $3.00 (no tax). We did not upcharge on our products as the cost has increased 4x more than they use to be. I use to be able to sell a box of 50 at $15! We also have gloves (box of 50) in which we can still get at a decent cost from one of our Vendors. Hand Sanitizer also now available and made to "fight COVID" Medical Grade starting at $4. We want to help in any way that we can. If price eventually drops on our PPEs, we definitely will share that cost with our customers! We want our Community to stay Safe.
Happy Fathers Day.......Celebrate with a New Scooter. Starting at $2900. SALE!!!!! $1500 and more off! Floor Models only!! Now is the time to get Dad what he really deserves
