Preventing fall sports injuries STORY BY BETH SANDOVAL, DIRECTOR OF THERAPEUTIC ASSOCIATES PHYSICAL THERAPY PORT ANGELES

Fall brings the excitement of a new school year, new backpacks and for many youths, the start of fall sports. In the United States, about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sports. Each year, participants experience more than 3.5 million injuries, causing lost playing time. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of youth sports injuries are preventable. As your athletes take the field, here are some ideas to avoid injury: 1) Wear appropriate footwear Children’s feet grow, so make sure shoes are the correct size. Also make sure your child has the correct type of cleat for the surface on which they will be playing. If you are uncertain regarding what type of footwear your child should be wearing, talk to your coach. 2) Wear appropriate safety equipment This is particularly important with contact sports. Safety equipment includes things like helmets, shin guards and mouth guards. Make sure they correctly fit your child and all components function properly. Make sure your child knows how to take them on and off themselves. 3) Warm up Make sure your child arrives in time to participate

in warm up. Dynamic warm-up drills are an excellent way to prepare the body for an athletic activity. Note that 62 percent of sports-related injuries occur during practice, so warming up is important on both practice and game day. For a link to dynamic warm ups, check out: www. tinyurl.com/qcxecmr. 4) Stay fueled and hydrated All athletes need adequate energy to perform their best. For morning events, make sure your athletes wake up early enough to get a solid breakfast. For afternoon or evening events, have adequate snacks to bridge the gap between lunch and when they play. Children 9-12 years old should drink 1.5 liters or seven glasses of water per day. Teens 13 and older, should drink 2 liters or eight to 10 glasses of water each day. These numbers should increase on hot days and as exercise intensity increases. 5) Pay attention to first signs of injury Bumps and bruises are typical for children playing sports. Persistent pain is not normal. PREVENTING FALL SPORTS INJURIES CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 >>

Overuse injuries account for nearly half of all injuries. These can present gradually over time. Listen and talk to your athlete. If appropriate, discuss the situation with the coach and determine if the player should take a break, do an alternate form of conditioning, or apply PRICE (see No. 7 below). 6) Notice signs of concussion A concussion is a brain injury caused by a blow to the head or a force causing quick motion of the head. It is important to notice signs or symptoms of a concussion. If a concussion is suspected, the player must stop playing and be evaluated. Continuing to play puts the player at risk of Second Impact Syndrome. Second Impact Syndrome is when an athlete sustains a second concussion while still having symptoms from the first concussion. It can cause severe impairment and in rare cases death. To learn more about concussions, check out: www.sportsconcussion.com. 7) PRICE For acute injuries, including things like ankle sprains or pulled muscles,

talking with your baby,” Youth Services Librarian Jennifer Knight said. “Babies absorb the world around them and learn at an amazing rate. Research has shown that the first few years of a child’s life are critical to their development and later success in school. “Programs like baby storytime help parents and caregivers by teaching tools and techniques that support early literacy. “Music is an important part of language development, which is why baby storytimes at the Port Angeles Main Library are 85 percent rhyme and song. “Storytime programs also help build a stronger community of parents and caregivers who can swap ideas, share stories and learn from each other.”

Beating the stress of back to school STORY BY BRANDPOINT

Do you or your child have the back-to-school blues? If so, you’re not the only ones. Saying goodbye to slower summer days can be difficult. For almost three months, you felt free from the structure of the classroom and the accompanying homework. When school starts, it’s common to feel some sadness. For children who suffer from anxiety, this stress may be harder to handle, and it may stem from more than just pop quizzes and earlier bedtimes. These children need extra attention when the school bell rings. The best thing you can do to prepare your child is to give the gift of your time and attention. Instead of dwelling on things like tests and homework, talk about how to make the transition into the exciting new school year the best it can be. These tips can help to reduce the stress and tension felt by you and your child, not only for the first weeks of school (the hardest time to adjust) but throughout the year as well. 1. Connected communication Engage in a conversation with your child and ask what he or she is excited and concerned about for the school year. Give your child the freedom to speak openly and

avoid asking too many questions at once. You’ll know you are connecting when he or she starts volunteering information. When you listen to your child, and he or she can see the genuine interest and attention in your eyes and through your body language, they will feel more comfortable discussing the upcoming year. 2. Creative calendars Planning ahead makes adults feel prepared, which is a huge de-stressor. The same goes for your child. Younger children only need a day or two to look forward to a big change. Older children may benefit from discussing the big changes weeks before, especially if those conversations include working on things like organization, planning, prioritizing and sequencing (those important executive functions of the brain). 3. Visualize the goal Get specific and help your child visualize going to school. Have your child tell you or draw out the sequence of the day, from waking up in the morning, to dressing in an outfit chosen the night before, to what he’ll or she’ll be enjoying as her brain-boosting energy breakfast. The more your child can visualize his or her routine, the more he or she will be at ease when actually doing the routine.

The Port Angeles Pranic Healing Clinic, located at the Sons of Norway Hall, 131 W. Fifth St., is offering free clinics to the community. Clinics take place on the first and third Mondays of each month from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Pranic healing is an effective and powerful notouch healing modality developed by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui that uses “life force,” or prana, to heal physical and emotional ailments, according to a news release. This type of healing is based on two principles: the body has the ability to heal itself and the principle of “Life Force Energy.” Pranic healing work with ailments ranging from stress, back pain, asthma and arthritis to traumas, phobias and addictions. To make the most of a session, do not wear leather, silk or crystals; do not wash a treated area or shower at least 12 hours after the session (this ensures assimilation of energy for the purpose of healing instead of being washed away); and after the session, rest or follow your normal routine but no excessive exercise or activities. Pranic healing is meant to enhance and complement your medical treatment, not meant to replace it. For additional information about the clinics, visit www.portangelespranichealing.com or www. facebook.com/portangelespranichealing.com.

HEALTHY LIVING

AFTER A LITTLE OVER A DECADE, Port Angeles is reviving the Big Hurt, a grueling four-leg race that will take place downtown starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26. Back in 1997, the city asked the North Olympic Peninsula Visitor and Convention Bureau to put together an event that would bring people to town. After a brainstorming session with the Port Angeles Parks & Recreation Department, the Big Hurt was born. The event started out with only 65 participants, but it grew to more than 300 racers in the next two years. At the peak of the event, there were nearly 600 participants. The Visitor Bureau coordinated the event until 2002, after which it transferred to the Hurricane Ridge Public Development Authority. Consisting of four race legs — mountain bike, kayak, road bike and run‚ — the event has had a number of distance and location configurations over the years. The last year of the original event was 2004. The event is now being resurrected this year by codirectors Scott Tucker, Tim Tucker and Lorrie Mittmann, plus Title Sponsor Family Medicine of Port Angeles. “We feel that we live in a place with incredible outdoor recreation opportunities and wanted to bring back the Big Hurt to showcase our beautiful place and our amazing activities for the benefit of the community,” Mittmann said. “Over the years, whenever the Big Hurt was mentioned, the common sentiment was ‘someone should bring it back,’” Scott Tucker said. “It is a major undertaking . . . even more so than we thought. It’s like putting on four races in one day,” he said. This year, the team is starting small in order to ensure

they have everything figured out. Participants ages 15 and older can race solo in the Iron Division or as a relay team made up of two to four racers. There are 50 spots open in each category. Awards will be given for overall top three men and women in the Iron Division and top three overall teams. A portion of event proceeds is donated to the Peninsula Trails Coalition, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the construction, maintenance and promotion of the Olympic Discovery Trail and Olympic Adventure Trail.

THE HUB

The Big Hurt event central, or Hub, is located between the Red Lion Hotel and the Port Angeles Pier on Lincoln Street and Railroad Drive. Red Lion Hotel will host a beer garden and food concession at the Hub, which is open to the public and for race participants. Community members are encouraged to hang out near the Hub to cheer on race participants. Each participant will be treated to one free beer compliments of the Big Hurt and Olympic Distributing. A food table with free snacks will be available for racers. Additional food will be for sale by Red Lion. There also will be some live music in the late afternoon at the Hub.

LEG 2: KAYAKING

Kayaking is an out and back east of Hollywood Beach in Port Angeles Harbor. Kayakers will head east from the beach to pass a buoy and continue straight until they reach another buoy. At this point, they will turn right toward the shore and in a short distance turn right again around the final buoy.

The mountain bike portion takes place in the Foothills above Port Angeles on a combination of dirt logging road, single-track trail and paced road. The course will start on a gated dirt road on the North side of Little River Road. Riders will go through the gate uphill to the start a little less than ½ mile up the logging road. The Foothills trail is a multi-use trail, including motorized use. Some off-road riding experience is strongly recommended. The bike racer must be capable of racing/riding on public roads that are open to motor vehicles. The racer is responsible for knowing the course. There are minimal signs and no mileage markers on the course. Assistance along the course is not allowed. There will be a mechanic available at the start line for any lastminute emergencies. Cyclists competing on a team are required to be dropped off at the gate on Little River Road. There is very limited parking at the gate, so cyclists must be dropped off by their team; however, team members and spectators can park temporarily along the road and walk to the start line if they wish to watch the race start. Cyclists competing solo in the Iron Division will be shuttled from the Hub to the gate at 9 a.m.

Light-based skin treatment offers people a way to look younger STORY BY BUNNY CORNWALL, LICENSED MASTER AESTHETICIAN AND BOARD-CERTIFIED MASSAGE THERAPIST

As baby boomers age, the demand for younger looking and younger acting skin has grown. Many treatments and products designed for this are making their way into the mainstream, and one of those is intense pulsed light (IPL). First introduced in the 1990s, IPL represents a useful tool in the treatment of some dermatological conditions such as pigmented disorders, age spots, flushing, rosacea and dilated blood vessels. Intense pulsed light also is used for collagen stimulation and hair removal. IPL is different from laser in that it is polychromatic, non-coherent and broad spectrum. Light from a laser beam is very narrow, only covering a small spot at a time, while IPL coverage is several times the area and therefore treatments are much quicker. An IPL photo facial is a gentle, state-of-the-art approach to making your skin look younger and smoother. The process treats the full face, neck, chest or hands, rather than simply one isolated area or imperfection. A series of IPL photo facial treatments can rejuvenate your complexion without downtime or a

prolonged recovery process. IPL treatment is based on light absorption in melanin and hemoglobin. Treatments are most efficient in patients with light skin who are not tanned at the time of treatment. Pre treatment protocols include the cessation of the use of alpha hydroxy acid and retinols for one week prior to treatment. In addition, no UV (ultraviolet radiation/rays) exposure for two weeks prior to treatment and no use of medicines that would make one photosensitive. Pain tolerance is very individual from person to person. Expect some discomfort and a warming snaplike sensation on the skin during treatment. This is what you can expect from treatment; for freckles and age spots, the dark spots generally look darker for three to 21 days as the pigmentation comes to the surface of skin and is shed naturally. For veins, generally the skin looks slightly redder after treatment for two to five days. The vascular lesions dissipate into the lymphatic system for excretion.

Collagen growth will happen because the light bypasses the outer layer of the skin and gently heats the cells in the deeper layer of skin. These cells called fibroblasts start to produce more collagen which improves skin texture. Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, enlarged pores, minor pitting and scarring diminish and fade. You will need between one and three treatments for successful reduction of pigmented lesions. If you want to maintain collagen stimulation,

treatment is recommended every six to 12 months. Hair growth becomes sparser with each session and all treated hair should shed within about two weeks. A note about hair — hair grows in constant cycles. Firstly, hairs are actively growing then they become dormant, and finally they loosen and shed, only to be replaced by more new actively growing hairs. Only hair follicles in the active growth stage are disabled by IPL treatments. Hairs in the dormant stage of the growth cycle normally remain anchored in the follicles for weeks or months, depending on their location, but their follicles
