The Doc is in and our latest podcast is out!
Weekend Warriors, that’s the term that we use for adults wanting to have some playtime.
Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Garcia discusses how to minimize injuries, so we can spend more time doing the things that we enjoy, and less time recovering from them.
What are some common injuries that he sees as an Orthopedic Surgeon and why? How should we prepare for activities? How should we listen to our bodies? What are signs that it’s time to see a doctor?
Winter is coming, and more people are going to want to hit the slopes this year. Great news, especially after spending so much time indoors during quarantine, but there is some hesitation. Dr. Garcia is concerned that this year there might be more injuries on the way, but they can be avoidable. Take a listen, enjoy, get your body ready, and get out and play.
