You're Only As Old As Your...

Making movement a priority is the best way to keep your spinal discs healthy. Those 23 tiny but mighty shock absorbers in your spine literally absorb the forces of gravity, your posture, and your day to day activites. They need a break!

Really, your spine and you are a lot alike, right? As the day goes on, you need to stretch, snack, and “take a load off.” Movement does all of that for your discs. So, a big part of taking care of yourself is taking care of your spine.

Hey, you’re only as old as your spine! Today, start paying attention to how much you’re sitting, to your posture, and to how much you’re moving (or not!). Overdue for that next adjustment? Take 5 minutes for yourself and book a session.

No one has time for neck or back pain. Keeping your discs healthy is one of the best things you can do to lessen your chances of having to live around either, and movement-based care can make all the difference. So, mind your posture and did I mention, move?! To get more specific, if you sit for long periods, try to change positions every 15 minutes. If you have to work at a computer for hours at a time and you have the option, bring in a standing desk.

Do whatever you can to squeeze more movement in to your day. Remember, you’re only as old as your spine. Together, let’s take care of it!
