Monsoon Injuries: Prevention & Rehab | PhysioChiro

The monsoonal weather is a lovely time of the year; however, with that, it brings bird-flu-type-of-injuries-about-to-happen. The slippery roads, damp indoors, poor visibility, and cold temperature give rise to falls, muscle strains, joint pains, and even respiratory issues.

Prevention, at PhysioChiro, is held as the paramount treatment. Theoretically, in the monsoon time, you can stay away from injuries by following these tips, and there are also ways to help if there is an injury.

Common Monsoon Injuries

• Slips & Falls
• Wet surface or floor, muddy pathways, and shoe soles have all been put to blame.
• Elderly and children, in fact, are more prone to such injuries.
• Knee & Ankle Sprain
• Uneven grounds and abrupt slippages might strain ligaments and joints.
• Muscle Cramps & Stiffness
• Due to the cold weather, the flow of blood lessens; with less blood, my muscles stiffen, and I become less flexible.
• Lower Back Pain
• Awkward walking posture, lifting heavy objects, and that prescribed posture for almost any of the activities might have instigated the back issue.
• Worsening of Arthritis
• Chilly damp weather tends to worsen the conditions of some joints such as those with osteo and rheumatoid arthritis.

The Tips from PhysioChiro for Prevention

• First the Footwear
• Give your shoes with anti-skid properties, grips, and cushioning.
• Never use worn-out soles or flat shoes.
• Stretching & Warm-Up
• A quick 5-minute stretch can prep muscles and joints before stepping outside.
• Clean Dry Floor
• At home or the office, keep the entrances and the corridors dry. Use anti-skid mats where necessary.
• Walking Aid If Necessary
• Either for elders or after surgery, using a stick or support may be better for support than nothing.
• Keep Moving Indoors
• Don’t let the rain force you to remain indoors. Get your mobility and strengthening routines done indoors.
• Look After Your Posture
• Do not sit in the same position for a very long time. Work on any ergonomic chair, and use cushions for support.
