Broad Street Run - Missed Registration?

Its not everyday you get to run the Broad Street Run, in fact, this year, if you didn't sign up for it in the first 5 hours, you missed the boat.

A smaller but just as fun run, the Broad Street ReRun, in Lansdale, is now gearing up. As the fourth annual, this event has helped raise funds for families in the Delaware Valley area that need financial assistance dealing with bleeding disorders, such as Hemophilia or Von Willebrand'

s disease. See http://www.hemophiliasupport.org/

The Broad Street ReRun, scheduled for 9 am Race time, Saturday May 12th, starting on Broad Street at the Pavilion in Lansdale. Awesome race for those who missed registration for the other broad street run!

Air Bags Break Arms!

Last week, a 59 year-old man came into our clinic with a torn rotator cuff, surgically repaired, that occurred from a severe auto accident. Air bags deployed, injuring his shoulder. The car was totaled.

Recent public service announcements are asking drivers to keep your hands at the 4 and 8 o'clock positions. Had this man practiced this habit, I may have never had the pleasure of meeting him; he may have never been injured.

Although I am happy to help folks when need arises, in this case, we may find the public service announcements save drivers from major injuries.

Consider placing your hands at the 8 and 4 positions instead of the 10 and 2.

3 million Steps keeps the doctor away!

Who Walks with Spring in their step?

The average young, active person takes about 10,000 steps daily, or about 3.6 million steps a year! To get to 10,000 steps, you need to walk more! Do you have enough spring in your step to do so?

.

.

If the average person's stride length is approximately 2.5 feet long.
That means it takes just over 2,000 steps to walk a mile.

.

.

Walk five miles a day, you have your 10,000 steps covered!

.

.

Do you have Spring in your Step?

If you don’t have a spring in your step to prepare for the warmer season
ahead, consider calling PTW today.
