 Paul Jones PT
Many shoulder-related problems are painful to the point where they severely restrict activity. The vulnerability of this much-used joint to injury is largely related to the design of the shoulder itself. Unlike the hip joint, which has such a deep socket that the leg bone would stay in place even without the support of surrounding muscles, the shoulder is rather like a golf ball on a tee. Only the four muscles that compose the rotator cuff and a host of tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and accessory muscles keep the arm bones in place. This unique construction is what gives the shoulder the greatest mobility of all the joints, but it also makesit vulnerable to injury due to stress and overuse. At our practice, we restore, maintain, and promote overall fitness and
health. We provide our patients with individual treatment strategies to restore function, improve mobility, relieve pain, and prevent or limit
permanent physical disabilities.

 KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES CREW
Wednesday June 10th and June 24th the Jones Crew was at the Wacky Wednesday Summer Series. The first race was the mystery race where we were asked to bring a teammate. To begin our race everyone had to retrieve a shirt from a block of ice and one person from each team had to wear it. At the one mile mark each team had switch up and give the icy shirt to another teammate and then finish one more mile. Talk about a "cool" race. For our race on the 24th each runner had to dress up in their best summer time swim gear and run two miles. Runners were dressed up in swimming pools and floaties to grass skirts and coconuts. At the end of the race I had the pleasure of hosing down runners with water guns. Don't forget the Wacky Wednesday Summer Series is still going on. Call Varsity Sports for detail on the races.

The Problem With Running And Staying Hydrated.
Many runners underestimate how much fluid they lose during runs and don't drink enough. As a result, they suffer from dehydration, which can be detrimental to your performance and health. The solution: Runners need to pay attention to what and how much they're drinking before, during and after exercise. Here are some simple rules for drinking and running:
An hour before you start your run, try to drink 16 to 24 ounces of water or other non-caffeinated fluid. Stop drinking at that point, so you can prevent having to stop to go to the bathroom during your run. To make sure you're hydrated before you start running, you can drink another 4 to 8 ounces right before you start.
You should take in 6 to 8 ounces of fluid every 20 minutes during your runs. During longer workouts (90 minutes or more), some of your fluid intake should include a sports drink (like Gatorade) to replace lost sodium and other minerals (electrolytes).
Don't forget to rehydrate with water or a sports drink after your run. You should drink 20 to 24 fl oz. of water for every pound lost.
