The Bend Marathon and Half is coming up on April 14th! As you gear up for the big race, we wanted to share some valuable vein health tips to keep you running strong and feeling your best: 1️⃣ Hydrate: Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining optimal circulation and supporting healthy veins. Be sure to drink plenty of water before, during, and after your training runs. 2️⃣ Train Smart with Leg Exercises: Incorporate a variety of leg exercises into your training regimen to build strength and endurance while promoting healthy blood flow. Try exercises like leg presses, calf raises, and hamstring curls to keep your muscles strong and your veins happy. 3️⃣ Embrace Compression Gear: Consider wearing compression socks or sleeves during your training sessions and on race day to enhance circulation and reduce muscle fatigue. 4️⃣ Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to any signs of discomfort such as swelling, heaviness, or pain in your legs. If you experience persistent symptoms, don't hesitate to consult with a healthcare professional. We wish all participants the best of luck in the Bend marathon and half! Remember to prioritize your vein health as you chase your running goals. 🏅 #BendHalfMarathon #RunnersLife #VeinHealth #InoviaVein #BendMarathon

Did you know that the way we treat concussions is evolving? For years, the standard advice from doctors was to completely rest from physical activity until all symptoms disappeared after a concussion. However, the latest medical research is showing that light exercise can actually aid in a faster recovery. It might seem counterintuitive to some, but gentle physical activity can help improve blood flow to the brain, which in turn can speed up the healing process. Of course, it's important to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard. However, engaging in activities like walking, yoga, or light stretching can be beneficial in the recovery process. This new approach to treating concussions is a game-changer for many athletes and individuals who have suffered from head injuries. It's no longer necessary to lie in bed all day until symptoms go away. Instead, incorporating some light exercise into your routine can not only help you recover faster but also improve your overall well-being. As always, it's important to consult with a concussion specialist like Dr. Caze before starting any exercise regimen after a concussion. They can provide guidance on what types of activities are safe for you to do based on your individual circumstances. Take a minute to hear what Dr. Caze has to say: https://lnkd.in/gJ6gTcsX #cazeconcussioninstitute #concussiontreatment #concussion101 #studentsuccess #earlyaccesscare #sports #highschoolathlete #collegeathlete

🏃🏾♀️I created the endurance athlete program @risefxmed because I have experienced the consequences of over-stressing my mind and body. Simultaneously, I began to see similar patterns in the symptoms and labs of my distance runner patients. They were depleted and it was affecting not only their running performance but their QUALITY OF LIFE. 🧠We know running affects every system in the body, but when we continuously push our limits, we need different and better tools to remain healthy, resilient, and performing at our best. 🔥Distance running can create chronic energy and nutrient depletions that lead to impairments in gut health, which creates systemic inflammation that ultimately affects performance, sleep, mood, and energy levels. 💊 These symptoms aren’t unique to marathon runners, however, the underlying causes of these symptoms in athletes ARE unique, and this is where conventional medicine falls short. 🧪 This program goes beyond the conventional by utilizing deep history taking and advanced diagnostic tools to determine the unique factors that are contributing to your symptoms. Once we have the appropriate data, we implement the best tools available to resolve your underlying causes SUCCESSFULLY. Don’t let chronic symptoms derail your training and performance. Embrace the functional medicine approach to uncover the root causes and optimize your health.
