Rock Climbing in Portland, Maine – Dr. Lou Jacobs
Rock Climbing in Portland, Maine Tips from Dr. Lou Jacobs If you are rock climbing in Portland, Maine or climbing at MRG, there are a few things you should know that will increase safety and improve performance. 1. Posture Matters. Poor posture, especially in your neck can dramatically reduce vertical arm reach as well as breathing and oxygenation. 2. Injuries Impede. If you have an unresolved injury that needs attention, it may not only hurt your climbing but it may hurt you. Your risk of significant re injury increases if you push yourself beyond your injured limits. 3. You May not feel risk factors. There are a number of risk factors for injury or decreased performance that you may not feel. Objective evaluation of these risk factors will enlighten you and help you prevent injuries that take you away from climbing for long periods of time. How you feel is not always an indicator of how you are “doing”. Dr. Lou Jacob has diagnostic equipment that identifies risks for injury while rock climbing in Portland, Maine.

Buying A Mattress In Portland, Maine Perspective of a Chiropractor As a chiropractor I am often asked my opinion of mattresses and which I think is best. Below are a few simple tips for buying the mattress that is best for you. 1. Firm is good. If you sleep best on a firm mattress, you should buy a firm mattress. 2. Soft is good. If you sleep best on a soft mattress, you should buy a soft mattress. 3. Make sure that you can return the mattress within a month if you don’t like it. 4. You get what you pay for. 5. You spend 1/3 of a 24 hour day in bed. The purpose of a bed is to provide you with a comfortable surface to sleep on, resulting in waking in the morning, rested. The best mattress for you is the one that will give you the best night’s sleep. I sleep on a Tempurpedic Mattress. It is a medium-firm tempurpedic.
