Minimize gardening injuries with these 3 tips Start slow. Tackle a small area of the garden and see how you get on in a shorter amount of time. From there, gradually increase the area of the garden. Stay hydrated. If you plan to be out in the garden for a longer period of time, and in the sun, keep these things in mind: Avoid gardening between peak hours of 11AM and 3PM as the sun is the strongest. If you are out in the garden during these hours, try staying in the shade. Wear light- coloured and breathable clothing. Wear a broadband sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 on all exposed skin. Overexertion. Doing one task for a long period of time, can cause strain to the body. Be sure to use garden tools properly, and be cautious of bending or moving your body more than it can handle. BONUS: Try regenerative treatments. Pain is also caused by many factors. It interferes with your ability to garden, walk, work, sleep or enjoy life. One of our physicians can determine which treatment will work best with your pain or injury. Stay prepared with our regenerative treatments ahead of the gardening season.
