Everyone needs to exercise. Everyone
needs to move. Physical activity is for each and every one
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 necessary for the physical
activity that will keep you feeling good. If a knee or back
injury occurs – and they do to the best of us! –
your Auburn chiropractor at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is here to return
you to moving with gentle, safe spinal distraction manipulation…and
knee distraction for the common issue of knee pain!
EXERCISE IN ANY WEATHER
A study done in Finland in 2017
followed the physical activity participation of 18-64 year
olds and 65+ year-olds. Researchers discovered that the 18-64 year
olds met 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 performed throughout that time? Cleaning/maintenance
work, walking, and stair climbing. What exercises did they perform
most consistently throughout the year irrespective of
age/gender/season? Muscle-strengthening exercises and workout. Swimming,
skiing, gardening, jogging, and stair climbing were more age/gender/season
dependent. The researchers ultimately came to the conclusion
that there are particular conditioning activities people will do.
Proposals for physical activity recommendations must use
those to encourage the most physical activity possible. (1) What do you like to do? Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. is confident our Auburn 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 are very
much like us though their training may be a bit more on the
intense side. Elite athletes like the Olympians cope with
pain and depression and keep going. A study of Olympians
from the 1948 to 2018 games found that 32.4% report
current pain, and 35.9% have functional limitations they connect to their Olympics’ days.
Knee (20.6% lasting 120 days median) and lumbar
spine (13.1% lasting 100 days) were the top two injuries Olympians
experienced in their training days. Depression was recounted
by 6.6% of them. (2) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. presents these Olympians’
stats with our Auburn chiropractic patients to let
them know they’re not alone in their pain struggles.
