Get out for a breath of fresh air. Just stepping away from your chores, to-do list or computer is relaxing.

Relaxation Makes you Healthier
Breathe your way to relaxation. Take a few slow, deep breaths. Close your eyes. Imagine an idyllic scene. Breathe in deeply, and continue to breathe slowly in an out. Deep breathing is one technique to alleviate stress.

Stay Safe During the Holidays
There’s nothing worse than spoiling your holiday season with a trip to the emergency room. Here are a few tips for staying safe during the holidays.
Most of all, have a happy holiday season with family and friends. The ER won’t mind, if you don’t need them.

Stay Safe During the Holidays
Home fires are common during the holidays, many the result of holiday lighting.
Test your smoke detectors to make sure they’re working properly and replace any that have stopped working.
Keep live trees adequately watered. If you can pull needles from a tree with little effort, the tree needs more water.
If you’re using an artificial tree make certain that it is fire rated.
Look carefully at all strings of lights before you hang them. Replace any with frayed wiring. Covering frayed wires with electrical tape isn’t worth the risk to your home.

Stay Safe During the Holidays
One of the hazards of the holidays is theft. Robberies increase by 20% in December most years, and with the uptick in crime nationwide in the past 2 years, it may be higher this year.
To protect yourself, make certain you lock doors and windows in your car and your home. Check the doors and windows that aren’t used very often–garage side doors, back doors, basement windows.
Never leave your car running and return to the house even for a few minutes. A running car is a perfect crime of opportunity.

Finding the Right Pain Relief
Sometimes, the easiest remedy for pain is ice or heat or massage.
If you need to take something, be aware of the side effects before you take a pain reliever.
Topical over-the-counter pain relievers can irritate the skin, particularly those with capsaicin in them.

Daily Habits that Cause Pain
Holding your back flat all day. We often hear in exercise classes to flatten your back to the mat, but if you tuck your pelvis to keep your back flat all day, you can compromise how your back muscles work together. Your spine is supposed to curve at your lower back, so trying to keep your back flat may take your back out of its natural alignment and make it harder for the surrounding lower back muscles to do their jobs causing back pain. Arch and round your back as much as you can, making the arch and round smaller and smaller until you’re in the middle of the two. That is most likely your natural, most comfortable place.
If you’re experiencing pain, schedule an appointment for a neuromuscular massage.
