Spring Preparations for Summer Fun and Safety
Dr. Charles Steiner urges preseason training to reduce injury risk as Americans switch from winter to spring activities. Tips include a five minute gentle sway warm up, gradual range of motion increases, and medical checks for chronic conditions. Garden safety, lifting tips, ladder use, and handling pesticides are advised to prevent sprains and accidents. Biting insects, allergies, and anaphylaxis risk are outlined with DEET repellent and epinephrine guidance. Ongoing cautions cover lawn mower safety, chemical storage, and staying watchful for children and pets.
