DON’T SKIPyour physical therapy appointments!
Sometimes when we get busy,
it’s easiest just to cancel other
appointments, including
physical therapy. At OSR, our
therapists want to continue
working with you throughout
the holiday season to not only
help you stay healthy, but to
help you not lose any progress
you’ve already made.
We Accept Most Major Health Insurance Plans
Planning, shopping, decorating, cooking – the holidays are busy! It is even more
important to take good care of yourself when you’re busy and stressed so that you do
not become susceptible to injury and illness.
At OSR Physical Therapy, we can help you get the most out of your holidays and face the New Year feeling your best!

Lifting heavy boxes filled with
decorations, over-reaching to hang
Christmas lights, and standing on
tiptoes to put the star on the tree
can all cause injuries. Be sure to lift
with your legs when picking up
heavy boxes, move the ladder closer
to the house so you don’t have to
reach as far, and get a sturdy
stepstool when putting decorations
up high.
STAY SAFEwhile decorating
DON’T NEGLECTyour workout
Maintaining your workout schedule
through the holidays has several
benefits. An obvious benefit is that
you will continue to burn calories on
a regular basis even as you consume
a few more in holiday treats, but
another is that you will enjoy the
stress-relieving benefits that come
along with regular exercise. Lastly,
many people go from not working
out at all to overdoing it because of a
New Year’s Resolution, and you’ll
already be well ahead of the game.
Most importantly, be sure to take time to relax and really enjoy your holiday activities. Talk to your OSR Physical Therapist for more tips on how to stay as healthy as possible this holiday season!
SHOP SMARTIf you’re heading out to shop, don’t wear high heels or unsupportive shoes, but choose shoes that are supportive and comfortable. Instead of carrying heavy bags from store to store, plan trips out to the car to drop bags o� to avoid back and shoulder pain. While shopping online, make sure you get up, stretch, and walk around a bit at least twice an hour. Watch your posture, and make sure your feet are �at on the �oor, your monitor is at eye level, and your chair is supportive.
