New year, new adventures—and new ways to accidentally trip, slip, or flip! 🤾♀️🤸♀️ Let’s keep the playground and sports field fun (and injury-free). Here are 5 ways to stay safe this school year: 1. Use Equipment Like a Pro ✅: No, the slide isn’t a climbing wall, and the monkey bars aren’t for extreme stunts. Always use playground equipment as intended. 2. Swings Aren’t Catapults ⚠️: As tempting as it is, launching yourself off swings can lead to some serious injuries. 3. Eyes Up, Stay Alert 👀🚨: Watch out for rogue jump ropes, soccer balls, and, well, other kids! 4. No WWE Moves on the Playground 🚫: Play nice. No pushing or shoving. 5. Suit Up 🏈: Sports gear isn't just for style points. Helmets, pads, and shin guards = real MVPs. Got a sprain or pain? Visit any Tower Health Urgent Care location for minor orthopedic and sports injuries: Towerhealth.org/UrgentCare. #BacktoSchool #PlaygroundSafety

As my doctor reminds me every year at my annual appointment: There is no magic pill to being healthy. You need to stay active at least 30 min a day! It seems so simple but we tend to let life and other things get penciled into the schedule instead. Recently I tried Pickleball. Apparently this sport is exploding on the scene with older adults and I can see why! It was fun and I was active and engaged and the hour passed so quickly! Find something that is fun that you can enjoy with friends and still get some exercise! It's a win win for the brain and body! #occupationaltherapy #falls #fallsprevention #safety
