With fall coming soon, this means lots of garden overturns, raking, and bagging all those leaves. Followed by you know what … snow!
This fall, stay prepared with increased mobility, range and decrease your chances of injury by staying active and making sure all your joints are moving well together!
How can a chiropractor help? Here are a few of our treatment methods, along with adjusting:
- Soft tissue treatment
- Acupuncture
- Muscle release technique
- Rehabilitation
- Cupping
Having a more limber, better communicating nervous system when working in the yard will help prevent any sprains, strains, and “tweaks” that we dread so much !
Fall also means the end of the year is near! Which means – if you don’t use it you lose it (your benefits)!
Make sure to book in advance before our crazy season(s) approach quickly!
We hope to get you feeling your best and prevent all your aches and pains before the cold weather comes for us! And now to some stretches to keep you limber.
Pelvic Tilts: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Tighten your abdominal muscles and push your lower back into the floor. Hold for a few seconds and then relax. Repeat this 10-15 times.
Cat-Cow Stretch: Start on your hands and knees in a tabletop position. Inhale as you arch your back (cow pose), looking up. Exhale as you round your back (cat pose), tucking your chin to your chest. This helps improve flexibility and can alleviate tension in the lower back.
Child’s Pose: Start in a kneeling position. Sit back onto your heels, reaching your arms forward on the floor. This pose stretches the lower back and helps alleviate tension.
