Foam Rolling for Specific Workouts
If you do roll out, do you roll out before your workout or after your workout? Or maybe both?. When you foam roll, is it arbitrary or is it based on something specific such as the workout you're about to perform or your own personal injury prevention?
Exercise and COVID-19
The majority of physicians agree that regular physical activity is beneficial to one’s health. Exercising boosts immunity and can have immediate and long-term health benefits. However, for those who have or have just recovered from COVID-19, this may not be the case. So when is it safe to start working out again? The experts are now weighing in.
Migratory Arthritis
Migratory arthritis is a condition in which the discomfort spreads from one joint to the next. As the symptoms in one joint subside, symptoms in another joint appear, usually in an asymmetrical location. Migratory arthritis can occur in persons who already have other types of arthritis such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), gout, or lupus. However, it may also be a result of other serious illnesses such as rheumatic fever, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, hepatitis B and C, and serious bacterial infections. Because it is impossible to foresee when arthritis may spread, it is critical to begin therapy as soon as possible when symptoms appear.
