‌ TEAM INSIGHTS Message from owner Nurse Rina Should I wear a mask or not when exercising? Maintaining 6 feet apart is the best thing you can do. Below are recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). CDC: People should not wear cloth face coverings while engaged in activities that may cause the cloth face covering to become wet, like when swimming at the beach or pool. A wet cloth face covering may make it difficult to breathe. For activities like swimming, it is particularly important to maintain physical distance from others when in the water. People who are engaged in high intensity activities, like running, may not be able to wear a cloth face covering if it causes difficulty breathing. If unable to wear a cloth face covering, consider conducting the activity in a location with greater ventilation and air exchange (for instance, outdoors versus indoors) and where it is possible to maintain physical distance from others.

Pete's Powerful Points THE NEED TO KNOW BEFORE SURGERY "Removal of the lumbar disks or pieces of them has become a common surgical procedure. If you are considering it, first ask the doctor 4 questions: Why is the disk herniated? Don't I need the portion of the disk you'll remove? Will I be able to resume all of my previous physical activities? Will the problem recur with another disk? Be skeptical if you're told, in answer to the first question, that the damage to the disk is related to your age or an accident. As for the second, your back was designed to use each disk--all of each disk. The question about physical activity is important because treatment that purports to cure should restore your health and functions, not curtail them. Finally, a recurrence is likely after surgery because the musculoskeletal problems that caused the first herniation will still be at work."
