Chiropractic and Strength

A recent study found that a single session of spinal manipulation increases strength in your legs as if you have done a workout for 60 minutes.

So why do we need to keep our body strong? Our muscles, ligaments and joints are the way we move and do our daily activities. These parts of our body are also under a lot of pressure daily and are easily injured.

We can keep our strength by getting a Chiropractor adjustment and doing exercises . W.H.O recommend 150 minutes a week of exercise. This is a minimum. There is no quick fixes. Exercise is the closest thing to a miracle drug and strength training is one of the best kind of exercise than most people don’t realise.

Start today. Get a program that assesses your ability as you are currently, and work up gradually.

Invest in your future….Start today.
