The Senior Hour – Preferred Glass and Back Pain Guidance – July 5th, 2023

Guests: Rose Upshaw, Adam Lowery

In the first half of today’s Senior Hour, hosts Barbara Cochran and Doctor Polucki bring Rose Upshaw of Preferred Glass, a local small business, to discuss home improvement for seniors. Rose goes over how she joined Preferred Glass and stresses how seniors are a big part of the community at large, and how servicing them benefits everyone. Her and Dr. Polucki exchange testaments about the quality of Preferred Glass’ service and Rose also details what sets them apart from other businesses, such as calling customers after an installation is finished, offering guaranteed price-matching, etc.

In the second half of the show, Barbara welcomes back frequent guest, Adam Lowery from Focus Physical Therapy, in order to discuss preventative treatments for back pain. Adam highlights how, as we get older, our tendency to spend long periods of time seated increases. This can contribute to lower back pain by tightening the hip flexors and the hamstrings, both body parts that weaken when not met with physical activity. He suggests listeners implement what he calls the 30/30 rule – for every 30 minutes of inactivity, you provide your body with at least 30 seconds of active movement in order to reset. Dr. Polucki also chimes in by stressing the importance of hydration in preventing pain. He suggests that everyone, especially seniors, drink water with a pinch of salt and table sugar in order to fully receive its benefits at a cellular level.

Finally, Barbara, Dr. Polucki, and Adam wrap up the show by discussing some important physical therapy movements and the importance of activity at an older age.

Listen in as Barbara and Dr. Polucki highlight Preferred Glass Services and preventative back pain treatments.
