Julie Koerner, a lymphedema specialist and Occupational Therapy at ProRehab, discusses preventing and treating the aches and pains of winter in the Northern Valley!
Always treat the walkways (with salt or sand), get rid of throw rugs, stay hydrated, stretch… and, if you do fall, don’t wait to be seen!
Remember to get ice on your sore muscles right away (but not direct contact) to reduce inflammation.
Koerner reminds you, many insurance companies allow you to self-refer to their clinic and allow you to get the care you need right away!
…and more helpful reminders as we bring out the snow shovels and ice melt!
