Everybody needs to exercise. Everyone
needs to move. Physical activity is for all
of us. Is 5K running or rappelling up a cliff necessary? Nope! Walking is terrific.
Muscle strengthening is superb. Gardening when the season is right
is amazing. No gyms are even required 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 Orchard Park, NY chiropractor at Novelli Wellness Center is ready to return
you to moving with gentle, safe spinal distraction manipulation…and
knee distraction for the common matter of knee pain!
EXERCISE IN ANY WEATHER
A study done in Finland in 2017
tracked 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 interests people took part
in throughout the year? Cleaning/maintenance
work, walking, and stair climbing. What exercises did they perform
most consistently throughout the 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 ultimately came to the conclusion
that there are particular conditioning activities people will do.
Suggestions for physical activity recommendations must use
those to encourage the most physical activity possible. (1) What do you like to do? Novelli Wellness Center is confident our Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients and
their families can discover physical activities
to do any time of year! Heck, even in snow, a good snowball toss can inspire
activity!
OLYMPIC EXERCISE
Winter and summer, Olympians move! They’re really 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% lasting 100 days) were the top two injuries Olympians
experienced in their training days. Depression was recounted
by 6.6% of them. (2) Novelli Wellness Center shares these Olympians’
stats with our Orchard Park, NY chiropractic patients to let
them know thery are not alone in their pain struggles.
