You & Olympians: Have Pain, Find Relief, Return to Exercise Year-Round
Everybody needs to exercise. Everyone needs to move. Physical activity is for all of us. Is mountain climbing or marathon running necessary? Not at all! Walking is terrific. Muscle strengthening is just right. Gardening when the season is right is wonderful. No gyms are even required for the physical activity that will make you feel good. If a knee or back injury happens – and they do to the best of us! – your Tonawanda chiropractor at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is here to return you to moving with gentle, safe spinal distraction manipulation…and knee distraction for the familiar issue of knee pain!
EXERCISE IN ANY SEASON
A survey conducted in Finland in 2017 traced the physical activity participation of 18-64 year olds and 65+ year-olds. Researchers discovered that the 18-64 year olds achieved the recommended guidelines for physical activity – 42% of men and 39% of women – better than the 65+ year olds – 26% men and 20% women. What were the most popular activities people took part in throughout that time? Cleaning/maintenance work, walking, and stair climbing. What exercises did they do most consistently all year regardless of age/gender/season? Muscle-strengthening exercises and workout. Swimming, skiing, gardening, jogging, and stair climbing were more age/gender/season dependent. The researchers finally concluded that there are certain conditioning activities people will do. Proposals for physical activity recommendations must incorporate those to inspire the most physical activity possible. (1) What do you like to do? Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is confident our Tonawanda chiropractic patients and their families can agree exercises to do any time of year! Heck, even in snow, a good snowball toss can get us moving!
OLYMPIC EXERCISE
Winter and summer, Olympians move! They’re very much like us though their training may be a bit more intense. Elite athletes like the Olympians deal with pain and depression and keep going. A study of Olympians from the 1948 to 2018 games revealed that 32.4% describe pain today, and 35.9% have functional limitations they connect to their Olympics’ days. Knee (20.6% lasting 120 days median) and lumbar spine (13.1% continuing for 100 days) were the top two injuries Olympians suffered in their training days. Depression was recounted by 6.6% of them. (2) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation presents these Olympians’ stats with our Tonawanda chiropractic patients to let them know they’re not alone in their pain struggles.
