HalloWEEK in Beautiful Excelsior Minnesota!

With fall apparently already in our rear-view mirror and winter already upon us, it’s an important reminder to stay active even as the colder weather hits us. A few quick ideas to keep moving are..

  1. Set a timer on your phone to get up every hour and do 5-10 squats or lunges. You’d be surprised how many this will add up to every day for a week!

  2. While the coffee is brewing in the morning, take a few minutes to breathe through your diaphragm and deep core consciously.

  3. It’s still nice enough for a walk! Even if that means in your living room. Get up and walk/march/skip - it’s a fun activity to include the kids too!

  4. If you have to shovel that beloved snow.. remember to take mini breaks and make it a fun workout. Try to work as hard as you can for 1 minute and then take 2 minutes off as ‘rest.’ Rinse and repeat for time!

It’s like death and taxes, inevitable facts of life that we can’t avoid.
Research shows that 71% of men and 77% of women <50 years old have Degenerative Disc Disease. Those numbers jump to over 90% for both sexes over the age of 50.
Furthermore; MRI studies have shown that for healthy individuals who don’t have a single symptom of disc issues can indeed have disc bulges, herniations, and decreased disc height. Meaning that these findings are purely incidental and don’t always warrant an immediate intervention.

Chiropractic Care for Athletes - How does it differ and what does a Sports Chiropractor do?

We must start with the disclaimer that we believe everyone is an athlete. If you have a body, you’re an athlete. Whether that means you’re a weekend warrior pounding 7 miles on the pavement, beating your buddies in a round of golf over a couple beers, or even just crawling around on the floor with your little one - all of those activities require good athletic motion.
