Largo Chiropractic Exercise Plans for Post-Surgery Care
10,080 minutes are in a week. What do you do with all those minutes? Sleep, eat, talk, work, listen, shop, drive…exercise? Exercise doesn’t usually appear in at number one on most people’s lists of favorite things to do with their time. It is recommended that all of us put in at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. (6) That’s just
- 2 and a half hours a week.
- 5 sessions of 30 minutes a week.
- 10 sessions of 15 minutes a week.
That does not seem like much, but we need to schedule it into our busy lives, do we not? Even your Largo chiropractor needs to do that! Time goes by so fast for everyone, including time for your Largo chiropractic physician at Hollstrom & Associates Inc. Your Largo chiropractic physician at Hollstrom & Associates Inc encourages Largo chiropractic patients to keep up their exercise routines even when they are feeling better and their back pain is better.
Exercise makes people happier, less depressed and sleep better. (1,2) Largo chiropractic patients benefit like this, too! Hearts and minds are healthier when their owners exercise. (3,4) Just take a walk down your Largo street, and see how much clearer you think and better you feel as your heart pumps more. Exercise slows memory loss. (4) Exercise decreases depressive symptoms. (2) Blood pressure drops. (5) Life span may even expand due to heart workouts with aerobic exercise. (3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc sees lots of advantages from all of these!
Exercise is life-giving. Exercise is life-supporting. Exercise is all that for normal spine folks but even more significant for Largo back pain sufferers particularly for Largo post-back surgery patients who still experience back pain. Post-surgical patients who exercise 150 minutes a week show a notable decrease in pain and reoperation rate reports a new study of post-surgery back pain patients. In this study the mean age was 57 years of age. 80% of them had degenerative diagnoses. 63% had gone through a multilevel back surgery. Only 35% of them met the greater than 1400 kcal a week exercise expenditure and left them vulnerable to a second surgery (called a revision surgery). Only 26% of post back surgery patients met the greater than 150 minutes a week of exercise leaving them open to degenerative diagnoses, subsequent spine surgery, and more postoperative back pain. (6) 150 minutes a week doesn’t sound like much anymore, does it? Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows our Largo chiropractic patients can find 2.5 hours a week for their back’s sake. It's part of the whole Largo treatment plan of chiropractic care.
