Spring is underway, and with warmer weather comes more time spent outdoors running, hiking, cycling, or starting a landscaping project.
These activities are great ways to spend more time with family and get some fresh air, but they also come with risk of injury.
Whether you’ve pulled a muscle or done more damage, being laid up for the summer is no fun. Make sure you take care of your body by healing properly and getting the care you need to get back to the activities you love!

Micro is commonly referred to as an overuse injury. These types of injuries include tendonitis, bursitis, muscle strains and even disc bulges. Due to the constant repetitive stress, tissues break down over time and become weak. This also leaves them susceptible to macro trauma due to the weakened state of the tissue.
