This is great news as sports can be useful tools in helping children develop physically, mentally and socially. Unfortunately, there is also bad news; kids participating in sports are at risks for injuries. It is estimated that 20 percent of participants will sustain a sports related injury. While most injuries are minor, 20 to 25 percent are serious. Overuse injuries (injuries that occur from repetitive stress on the musculoskeletal system) are becoming more prevalent. These injuries are more complicated in a child and can affect normal growth and development.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/08/kids-sports-and-preventing-injuries/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/07/walking-has-many-wonderful-benefits/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/07/walking-has-many-wonderful-benefits/#comments Thu, 07 Jul 2011 18:21:22 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=2445 LYONS – Walking briskly is the most efficient exercise we can do and is an exercise that can be done daily for our entire lives. The Centers for Disease Control, CDC, said that brisk walking is moving at a pace of three miles per hour or more (but not race walking) or roughly 20 minutes per mile. However, fitter people still will not be in a moderately intense exercise zone at that pace. A pace of 15 minutes per mile, or four miles per hour, is more likely to put those people into a moderately intense exercise zone.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/07/walking-has-many-wonderful-benefits/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/07/the-aging-well-in-lyons-program-is-off-to-a-great-start/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/07/the-aging-well-in-lyons-program-is-off-to-a-great-start/#comments Thu, 07 Jul 2011 17:45:19 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=2435 PINEWOOD SPRINGS – The Aging Well in Lyons: Community, Connections & Resources (AWIL) Conference held on May 14 at Lyons Elementary School drew enthusiastic participants interested in the idea of aging in their own homes.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/07/the-aging-well-in-lyons-program-is-off-to-a-great-start/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/05/ways-to-help-joint-pain-after-exercising/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/05/ways-to-help-joint-pain-after-exercising/#comments Tue, 17 May 2011 05:22:14 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=2357 LYONS – Everyone knows that exercise is good for you, but what happens when exercise starts to hurt? Should you keep exercising or should you stop? Recovery after exercise is essential to muscle and tissue repair, especially after weight training. Knowing if pain is from an injury or if it’s just from working out can help you manage your symptoms so you can keep moving.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2011/05/ways-to-help-joint-pain-after-exercising/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/08/reiki-promotes-healing-through-relaxation/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/08/reiki-promotes-healing-through-relaxation/#comments Fri, 13 Aug 2010 04:58:12 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1953 LYONS – According the International Center for Reiki Training, ICR, “Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by laying on hands and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.”]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/08/reiki-promotes-healing-through-relaxation/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/06/your-brain-on-chemo-the-risk-maybe-higher-than-you-think/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/06/your-brain-on-chemo-the-risk-maybe-higher-than-you-think/#comments Mon, 28 Jun 2010 01:15:25 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1879 LYONS – There is no doubt that chemotherapy is literally toxic to the body. It is also currently one of the few treatments available that put cancer in remission. ]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/06/your-brain-on-chemo-the-risk-maybe-higher-than-you-think/feed/ 0 http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/05/carpal-tunnel-is-a-specific-injury-involving-the-median-nerve/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/05/carpal-tunnel-is-a-specific-injury-involving-the-median-nerve/#comments Tue, 25 May 2010 02:40:24 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1746 LYONS – As a physical therapist I see injuries in all parts of the body. Most people who come in without seeing a doctor usually generalize their problem: for example they state my knee hurts, or my shoulder hurts when I do this particular movement. These patients usually don’t come in and state that their meniscus hurts or that the Teres minor muscle of their rotator cuff is injured. But people who have hand problems typically label their pain as carpal tunnel. While carpal tunnel does account for a significant amount of hand problems, it is commonly diagnosed incorrectly.]]> http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/05/carpal-tunnel-is-a-specific-injury-involving-the-median-nerve/feed/ 1 http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/04/exercise-for-the-mind-and-body-vinyasa-yoga-at-mayama-movement-studio/ http://www.redstonereview.com/2010/04/exercise-for-the-mind-and-body-vinyasa-yoga-at-mayama-movement-studio/#comments Wed, 21 Apr 2010 04:35:07 +0000 Richard http://www.redstonereview.com/?p=1656 LYONS – The many forms of yoga may seem confusing or intimidating to the beginning student.
