You & Olympians: Have Pain, Find Relief, Return to Exercise Year-Round
Everybody needs to exercise. Everybody outght 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 suitable is wonderful. No gyms are even necessary for the physical activity that will make you feel good. If a knee or back injury occurs – and they happen to the best of us! – your San Jose chiropractor at Chiropractic Solutions is here to get you back to moving with gentle, safe spinal distraction manipulation…and knee distraction for the familiar issue of knee pain!
EXERCISE IN ANY SEASON
A survey conducted in Finland in 2017 traced 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 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 finally concluded that there are particular conditioning activities people will do. Proposals for physical activity recommendations must incorporate those to encourage the most physical activity possible. (1) What do you like to do? Chiropractic Solutions is confident our San Jose chiropractic patients and their families can agree 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 cope with pain and depression and keep going. A study of Olympians from the 1948 to 2018 games found that 32.4% report pain today, and 35.9% report current functional limitations due 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.
