Returning to classrooms and extracurriculars brings a whirlwind of excitement and challenge. With backpacks packed to the brim, schedules filling up, and activity levels soaring, ensuring health and wellness becomes crucial for teachers and students.
This year, make health & wellness a priority. Anita Washburn and her expert staff at StretchLab Medina are focused on making back-to-school season not just about academic preparation but also about embracing practices that support physical well-being and overall health.
The Backpack Dilemma!
How much does a backpack weigh? Heavy backpacks can add strain and fatigue to the lower back and increase tension in shoulders and neck. StretchLab Medina can help students age 12+ by addressing these issues through one-on-one assisted stretch.
On Your Feet or Sitting at the Computer ALL DAY?
Educators and administrative staff often find themselves on their feet all day or seated for extended periods. Both scenarios can lead to lower back fatigue, tension in the neck and shoulders, and stress. Incorporating regular movement, stretching, and mindful practices can significantly alleviate these issues. Simple adjustments in posture, ergonomic seating, and regular breaks can make a difference in maintaining physical comfort and reducing stress levels.
Staying Game Ready
The emphasis on maintaining peak physical condition is paramount. Our services at StretchLab Medina are tailored to enhance injury prevention, expedite recovery, and ease sore, achy muscles. Embracing a routine that includes proper stretching and muscle care is essential for preventing injuries and ensuring that athletes can perform at their best throughout the school year.
