You & Olympians: Have Pain, Find Relief, Return to Exercise Year-Round

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.
