when it’s OK to work through exercise pain – and when it’s not.

the pain becomes worse, then stop the lower body moves and work your upper body instead.
“Continuing to put pressure on a joint when it’s especially sore could contribute to joint                 8:30 am - 9:30 | Pool
damage, so it’s best to ease up for a while,” says physical therapist Richard Kassler, supervisor       9:30 am - 10:30 am | Pool
at New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases.

If you have moderate to severe joint pain during exercise: Stop immediately.
“Most people with arthritis can work through mild pain safely. But if you’re experiencing a lot
of pain while you exercise, even if you’re not doing a particularly joint-taxing workout, it may
be a sign that you have inflammation in the joint, or even joint damage that requires treatment,”
says Kassler.

If you consistently have joint pain (not muscle pain) after exercise: Switch to
a workout that puts less pressure on your joints. “If you need an elaborate brace or have to
pop ibuprofen constantly, it’s a pretty good sign that your activity is too hard on your joints.
Swimming, water aerobics and biking are all good options for people with joint pain.

If you occasionally have moderate to severe joint pain the day after you
work out: Cut back on the intensity of your workout. Take a day off, then doing a shorter, less
strenuous workout. If your pain still doesn’t let up, switch to a less intense form of exercise,
such as water aerobics.

What Exactly Is
                                                                     OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY?
April is Occupational Therapy Month! But what IS Occupational
Therapy (OT)? In simple terms, OT teaches you how to adapt. If your
ability to perform your everyday responsibilities is ever impacted due
to an illness or injury, occupational therapy can help. Those everyday
responsibilities may have included going to work in earlier years,
but now it may include attending exercise classes, venturing out on
the walking trails, or participating in social events like the Lunch
Bunch. OT is a branch of skilled therapy that helps people regain
independence in all areas of their lives, and helps with barriers that
impact a person’s emotional, social, and/or physical needs. So, even
if you’re retired, occupational therapy can still be beneficial for you!

OTs use their knowledge of the structure and function of the
human body and the effects of illness and injury to increase your
involvement in daily activities. OTs teach individuals how to manage
stress and fatigue and prevent re-injury. They are also the experts
in home safety and fall prevention and can advise on environmental
modifications or improvements.

                                                                                During therapy sessions, OTs will also work with the wellness and

                            Eric Walker,            Therapist. He was asked why he chose this field. “When thinking about what attracted me
                                 Rehab              to the field of occupational therapy, I must relate it to my values and my Christianity. I

                                                    attitudes. Three ways that we accomplish this is through love, empathy, and quality. Being
                                                    an occupational therapist, I have the privilege of displaying all three of these traits daily. It
                                                    begins with creating an atmosphere of love for every individual that I encounter and every
                                                    individual that I have the privilege to lead. It continues with showing every client/patient
                                                    empathy for their situations as if they were my own family. It is finalized with displaying the
                                                    highest quality possible with my interventions and care. When I learned that I would be able
                                                    to exhibit these traits daily, I knew this was a career that I wanted to be in for a while. To
                                                    sum up my feelings for occupational therapy and with healthcare in general, I’m reminded
                                                    of this quote. ‘People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people
                                                    will never forget how you made them feel.’ I hope to embody that quote every single day.”
