MARSHFIELD, MA, August 04, 2012 (Press-News.org) According to Brendan Carman, MPT, ATC, who is the orthopedic outpatient physical therapy practice's founder - summer is their busiest time.
"In the summertime, people want to enjoy the great outdoors and they take on projects and activities that put a stress on muscles and tendons that may not have been used the rest of the year. Even summer footwear can cause a strain," Carman explained.
Golfing, playing tennis, doing strenuous yard work and other "weekend warrior" activities can cause neck, shoulder and back problems. Although it sounds like simple common sense, don't do too much all at once. If you golf or play another sport in the summer, but not during the rest of the year, be aware of signs of muscle fatigue and pain that lasts longer than 48 hours. If you're a weekend warrior, be sure to space out the work and take on reasonable loads. For example, don't build a brick or stone wall in a day or spread three yards of mulch in a matter of hours.
Walkers wearing non-supportive footwear and people wearing flip flops, unsupportive sandals or no shoes at all may experience foot and ankle problems. Shoes offering little or no support can strain the plantar fasciia and Achilles tendon, and many people begin to exhibit symptoms mid-summer. A few symptoms of foot issues include pain at the back of heel or under bottom of heel. Key symptoms are pain in the bottom of your foot first thing in the morning (as you get out of bed) or when you are walking without shoes.
Note that normal muscle soreness is usually a 48 hour cycle of aching muscles. When soreness lasts more than two days, it is an indication that there's more to it. Pain that is closer to joints and tendons, pain that is constant at rest, swelling/heat/redness that is associated with the pain, and pain that is not resolving within 72 hours is something to be concerned about. If you have pain in the knee, shoulder and ankle joint itself, it's a red flag of strain.
"When you suffer from aches and pains, it's best to deal with it sooner than later. If caught early, one to two days of rest is usually all that is needed. But, aches and pains that are ignored can become more significant. The tissues break down and can become an injury if not addressed promptly. Then, it can take weeks to resolve the issue," explained Carman.

Adjustable Basketball Systems
2012-08-04
Finding the Perfect Adjustable Basketball System:
When the idea to create an adjustable basketball system came about the method of choice was to use a cable, pulley, and wench. The original Sport Court goals were made this way back in the 70's. The design was to attach a cable to the lower extension arm over the main pole via a pulley and onto a wench located on the back side of the pole. Turning the handle on the wench would then raise or lower the backboard. The drawback to this method is that the teeth on the wench wear out over time and eventually lead to system failure. ...
