The Healthy Back Blog: For mums

After all the rain it was so nice to see the sun especially for the Olympics. It really was a magical two weeks that had the nation hooked. As a Chiropractor the main thing I noticed was an increase in back stiffness which may well have been due to prolonged sitting. I must admit it was hard to tear myself away from the TV except from when I was going to the events!

I really hope these games have inspired people to take up sport as it can help the body and the mind so much.

The key is to find a sport you can enjoy all through your life as then there is more incentive to keep it up. From a chiropractic point of view people who are active recover far quicker from injuries and are less likely to be overweight putting less stress on their joints.

If you are in pain it is worth seeing a chiropractor to see if they can help you. They can do a thorough examination to see if it is something they can help with or advise you on where to go. To find your local chiropractor visit the British Chiropractic Associations website.
