Running Warm-Up / Three Key Exercises to Get Ready!
Running Warm-Up / Three Key Exercises to Get Ready!

“Does a Lion warm up before it chases down a Gazelle?!”

No, it doesn’t. But you’re not a Lion. You’re a middle aged corporate worker who just sat on their butt for the last 8-10 hours and now you’re going to do a complete 180 and go be an athlete.

Yeah, it’s a good idea to do a quick, targeted, warm up!

A good running warm up is always important to make sure that your body is primed for the workload you’ll be placing on it. Warm ups aren’t just stretching. They include actively prepping the muscles and tissues that will be worked according to the exercise you’re about to embark upon. For running, this should include exercises which get the feet, knees, glutes, and low back ready.

What's the Difference?! Sports Chiropractic vs. Traditional Chiropractic
What's the Difference?! Sports Chiropractic vs. Traditional Chiropractic

“We’re not better. We’re just different.”
I struggled to find the most precise way to illustrate the difference between what we do and what a “normal chiropractor” does until I had a phone call today with a potential patient and the phrase above just came out of my mouth without thinking.
As Sports Chiropractors we work to solve the puzzle of WHY you’re feeling the way you’re feeling. This means a more thorough assessment as well as more thorough treatment. It doesn’t stop there. The person who has the most control of the situation is the patient - so we expect them to do some work as well in-between sessions.
