INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you rush into the splits, you may hurt yourself. You must stretch before you do the splits even if you have done the splits a hundred times. Stretching your muscles will help you to ease into the splits more carefully. Do each stretch a few times repeatedly, so to increase flexibility in those stretches. If you want to follow a specific program, try physiotherapist Lisa Howell's flexibility program called The Front Splits Fast.

SUMMARY: Stretch before you do the splits. Do a 10 to 20 minute warm-up, stretching each of your muscles.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Just like humans, ducks can hear and respond to sound. Talking to your ducks will help you bond with them. You can name them, too. Ducks have been known to do tricks and be somewhat affectionate. You can buy some bird toys to play with them, or simply take the ducks in the bathtub for a swim. Every duck has a different personality. They may even play with string or try to dig holes. During feeding time, observe your ducks for any health problems. If they seem lethargic, are losing feathers, or don’t have an appetite, you should take them to a vet. The vet will provide care and necessary medication.

SUMMARY: Talk to your ducks. Play gently with the ducks. Take your ducks to the vet if they look ill.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: As part of getting your brace, your doctor or physiotherapist will tell you exactly how many days that you’ll need to use it. They will also tell you how many hours per day to wear your brace and whether or not it should be worn at night or during showers/baths.  Wearing a brace for longer than suggested can actually cause your neck muscles to stiffen and atrophy. Not wearing your brace enough can further irritate any injuries and slow down your recovery process. In some cases, your doctor may allow you to sleep without your collar or use a soft brace at night. Even in these situations, it is important to use a specialty pillow to limit the movement of your neck at night. Some people even sleep in recliners or armchairs to provide more neck stability.  Special neck support pillows are available at medical supply or sleep stores. You may need to experiment with various sleeping positions and pillow options before finding what works for you. Since you won’t be able to tilt your head downwards to look at your plate or to drink, it’s important to make a few changes for comfort and cleanliness. Drink using a straw to help with swallowing. Sit in a lower chair or use a TV tray to elevate your plate. Place a large napkin under your chin and around the brace to catch any errant spills. Be patient with yourself when mastering eating and drinking with your brace. You may have a few accidents at first, but you’ll figure it out with time. You've probably grown accustomed to tilting your head and neck to shave your neck, but you can't do this in a neck brace. Lie down on the floor and shave while keeping your head straight. Have a friend assist you in shaving. They'll be able to maneuver around your neck better and help hold your head still. Pull off the soiled pads from inside your brace. Attach a new set of pads to your brace and reposition it around your neck. Rinse off the soiled pads with mild dish soap and warm water. Lay them out to air dry. Repeat this process each day.  This is why it is important to have at least 2 sets of pads for your brace. If you need to clean the outside of your brace, simply wipe it down with a slightly damp cotton cloth. It will air dry quite quickly.

SUMMARY:
Wear your brace for the timeframe suggested by your doctor. Use a pillow or recliner to support your neck while sleeping. Modify your eating and drinking practices to prevent spills. Practice shaving while lying down. Clean and replace your brace’s pads every day.
