True: I love learning new information, so I recently came across this information and looked into it a bit. While it might seem unconventional, walking backward engages different muscle groups than traditional forward walking. Specifically, it targets the hamstrings, glutes, and calves more prominently. It also helps reduce chronic conditions such as back pain and stroke, providing reassurance that this unique form of physical therapy is effective. According to some studies, it's a unique form of physical therapy that can help improve balance, coordination, and gait and retain the brain. Before starting any new workout, consult a doctor. #stroke #recovery #exercise #health #HealthyCheckout #PatientAdvocacy #WellnessMatters Need help with health prevention and wellness?

Strong Bodies, Fewer Injuries! This month, WFR is on-site and in workplaces educating on how strength promotes overall wellbeing and prevents injury. Injuries aren't confined to sports fields or heavy duty work; they can strike anywhere, especially when our bodies lack the strength and conditioning to defend against them. Whether it's at work, in the gym, on the field, or even at home, injuries can happen unexpectedly, anywhere. Understanding how a strong body serves as a shield against injuries is key. Here's how: Strong muscles = better stress handling Strong cardiovascular system = efficient activity management Responsive muscle groups = enhanced joint support Resistance training = improved movement patterns & spatial awareness Training as an analgesic = effective pain management Increased blood flow = accelerated healing & nutrient delivery Looking for strength training tips?
