• 0:18
  Speaker 1: kind of their favorite time of year. Everything's coming alive

  Speaker 1: and getting beautiful again. And that means a lot of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: people go out and they do all this thing called gardening,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and then they are hunched over all day and then
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: they come in to see you and they're like, Doc,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: my back hurts, Like I don't.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Know what happened. My back hurts, my knees hurt. Well,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: what were you doing over the weekend? Oh, I just
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: spent some time in the garden.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Or that there you go, right there, I think we
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: found it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, this weekend's Mother's Day weekend, So
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: happy Mother's Day weekend all the moms out there.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So if somebody does spend a little too much time
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: in the garden, or if they're planning to spend time
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: in the garden. Are there things they should do ahead
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of time to maybe avoid pulling a little of this
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: or hurting a little of that.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Like we talked about in the wintertime with shoveling snow.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: You know, this is kind of the equivalent. We need
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to make sure that we're warming up stretching, because you're
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: gonna be doing some activity. It's sure you're not running
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: a mile or a marathon or anything like that, but
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: you're still gonna be you know, raking or digging or
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: you know, bending down to plant stuff or pull stuff out.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: You're still gonna be using some muscles that maybe haven't
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: been used as much in the recent memory, and they're
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: not going to feel the greatest the next day if
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: you don't take some precaution before you get started.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: So a little stretching ahead of time, a little bit
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: of just warming up and making sure you don't die
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Right, you know, get get up moving, do some jumping jacks,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: touch your toes, you know, grab the doorway, stretch your
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: arms out a little bit. Yeah, just and taking breaks
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: is another big one. You're like, oh, I want to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: get this all done. You know, at the end of
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: day it's going to be there tomorrow too. It's okay.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: It's it's good to make sure you take your time
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and slowly do it and try not to overdo it
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: all in one sitting, because then you could really.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Hurt yourself absolutely, and you want to be careful out there.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So again, so we kind of talked about some things
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: to do before you do the gardening. Now what happens.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Let's say I've done it, I've overdone it, I'm a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: little bit stiff, I'm a little bit sore. Would I
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: put heat on that? Would I put ice on that?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: What's the best thing to do with afterwards?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I would say ice, you know, especially if it's like
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: your knees or your like low back or your hips,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you feel like kind of joints are hurting. Ice is good.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: If it feels like the muscles are tight and achy
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a hot shower using like a heating pad would be
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: a good idea there, or you know, go see your chiropractor,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: or if you don't have a chiropractor, come see us. Yeah,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you know, we will be open tomorrow and Thursday before
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Mother's Day weekend, so you can always get adjusted before
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: you start doing all the gardening and that's going to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: help you have a better time, more enjoyable time out
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: in the garden. Or you don't call for scheduling an
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: appointment on Monday knowing that you're gonna be out in
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the garden this weekend. You're like, I know I'm gonna
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: be hurt, and it's good to get chiropractic adjustments going
• 2:49
