Posted by Fred Steiner on December 29, 2015 - 5:46pm

Farewell, 2015.

How will you remember 2015? It was certainly a year to remember. The Icon took hundreds of photos in the past 365 or so days. 

We’ve chosen one from each  month to represent the year that’s quickly fading. Some of photos are news worthy. Others are simply fun.

We hope these 12 paint a picture representing of life in 2015 in a small northwestern Ohio town named Bluffton.

Enjoy them.

From Bluffton Family Recreation: Basics of soft tissue care

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 29, 2015 - 9:16am

By Jared Krout, CSCS

Hydration
•  Often overlooked, hydration is a key component in maintaining soft tissue health. Staying hydrated keeps the tissues pliable and more resilient to external factors. It also improves the quality of the fluid in your joints.

Sleep
• Sleep is vital in allowing our bodies to recover and regenerate tissue and a lack of sleep adversely affects soft tissue health.
