Why is walking good for you?
In the last hundred years or so, we have gone from a lifestyle of being very active and upright, to now being very inactive and spending far too much time sitting. Before cars, computers, mobile devices etc, we used to walk and move our bodies far more than we do now. Now to today where we spend a lot of our time sitting. We sit in our cars to and from work, a lot of people sit for hours each day at work and then we get home and sit in front of the TV. When we sit we change the biomechanics of our bodies and load the joints of our spine 3 to 10 times more they are designed to take. When you sit your hamstrings and hip flexors are in a shortened position and overtime become less and less flexible. Over time people can develop pain from spending too much time sitting, as their joints start to squash out the synovial fluid (lubricant) which caused them to seize which stimulates the muscles to tighten to support the joints. So what is the best thing to do if you spend a lot of your day sitting? WALKING! Walking is
Sculpture by the Sea
Not sure if you’re aware, but there's this magical sculpture display on now at Cottesloe beach until the 20th of March… which means it finishes this weekend. If you haven't been before, it's an amazing part of Perth to see, especially as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean. Check out the link below for all the information you need. Perhaps you can make a night of it, pack a picnic and rug and head down to the beach, check out the sculptures and sit on the grass after to watch the sunset. Entry is free!! http://sculpturebythesea.com/cottesloe/
Harvard Med School backs Chiropractic
This recent study published by the prestigious Harvard Medical School about chiropractic treatment and it's benefits for back pain, migraines, neck pain and whiplash and how it also incorporates education patients and teaching preventative measures. This study was conducted in the USA to educate GP’s and other Medical Specialists on exactly what chiropractors do and what we are effective at treating, as well as what treatment processes are most effective. This is due to the fact that more and more GP’s around the world are referring to Chiropractors. It also goes into how when you first see a chiropractor for pain your treatment is a process, and how you should expect your symptoms to improve after a couple of weeks. Chiropractors also have studied and should provide their patients information about biomechanics and posture which is the root cause of most biomechanical problems. This treatment process and educational means is a reflection of how all the Chiropractors at Lamp Chiropractic are trained and have been treating for years. We have all completed five years at university and ongoing formal training. We pride ourselves in the fact that we use the latest evidenced based treatment processes and that “We
Science proves you are what you eat
Our fast paced lifestyles and resultant conditioning to eat fast foods and processed foods is leading to more than obesity. This study shows a link between the bacteria in our gut and the mood in our children. Gastrointestinal abnormalities have been linked to “anxiety, depression, and several pediatric disorders, including autism and hyperactivity,” the Times reports Most people are not aware that the bacteria in our gut can be changed by consuming processed food, over the counter drugs, antibiotics, fast food, acidic and sugary drinks etc. It's so important to make good food choices. If you’re not sure what these are, then ask at your next consultation.
