Summer is here and with it comes the joys of planting gardens and tending to your yard. Many people will find themselves dealing with pain as they putter around their green space. The pain is often a result of a simple mechanical imbalance in the way you move. Doing repeated movements when there is a mechanical imbalance can lead to some muscles and/or joints becoming overused, which may lead to pain and injury. A physiotherapist can help determine which structures are causing the imbalance, help correct the imbalance, and provide a simple home exercise program to get you back in your yard working pain free!
