Health tech has come a long way from the old pedometers we used to count steps. They have evolved into watches, rings and apps in our phones to track movement, steps, heart rate, breathing rate, temperature and more.

Watch for medications that interfere with your body’s ability to tolerate high temperatures because they affect parts of the brain responsible for internal temperature regulation. In particular, some asthma and hay fever medications can reduce your tolerance to heat.

Transition your home so that you’re living cooler. Ditch the flannel and heavy comforters for lightweight cotton, percale or linen sheets. Keep curtains and blinds closed during the day to block out direct sunlight and heat. Run ceiling fans counterclockwise to create a cool, downward breeze.

Ditch the winter clothing. Choose breathable fabrics like cotton, poplin, linen or moisture-wicking synthetics in light colors that reflect the sunlight rather than absorb it. Invest in some good UV-blocking sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat that will cover your neck and shoulders, and use a good high spf sunscreen.

Acclimatize your body by easing into the heat. Spend short segment (20-30 minutes) then gradually increase your exposure. Hydrate proactively. Drink water all day, and replenish electrolytes if you are sweating heavily. Adjust your workout schedule by shifting to early mornings or late evenings when temperatures are cooler than at mid-day.

Plantar fasciitis is when the bottom of your foot hurts, especially around the heel and is at its worst first thing in the morning. It’s common for runners or people who jump into too much exercise too fast. To prevent this pain, wear shoes with good arch support, stretch your feet before you exercise, and increase your activity slowly.
Plantar fasciitis often has its root in the calf muscles so neuromuscular massage can go a great way to relieving the source of the pain in your feet.

Tennis elbow doesn’t just happen to tennis players. It can affect anyone who uses their arms a lot in sports, like baseball or golf. It happens when the tendons in your elbow get hurt from overuse. You can avoid tennis elbow by using the right technique, stretching your arms, and not pushing yourself too hard. Neuromuscular massage can help with healing and regaining range of motion.

Shin splints are a pain along the inside of your shin, and they usually happen when you suddenly start running or jumping a lot. Runners, soccer players, and dancers are especially at risk. To prevent shin splints, make sure your shoes are the right fit, stretch before you play, and don’t push yourself too hard too soon.
Neuromuscular massage can help restore blood flow and healing to the entire area.

Rotator cuff. Spring sports such as baseball, softball, lacrosse, golf, and tennis all place a considerable amount of stress on the rotator cuff. This may cause injuries that weaken the shoulder and impair performance, both in competition and in everyday activities like brushing your teeth or getting dressed. Regardless of an athlete’s age or skill level – recreational, high school, college, or even professional – maintaining a healthy rotator cuff is critical.
A rotator cuff injury doesn’t always mean surgery. Neuromuscular massage can help support healing and rehabilitation.

Sports like softball, basketball, soccer, and tennis commonly lead to sprains, particularly ankle sprains, but proper warm-up, strength training, and using appropriate footwear can help prevent these injuries.
If a sprain occurs, often the muscles in the area need tending to as well. Schedule a neuromuscular massage to help regain range of motion.
