You & Olympians: Have Pain, Find Relief, Return to Exercise Year-Round
Everyone needs to exercise. Everyone outght to move. Physical activity is for all of us. Is mountain climbing or marathon running required? Nope! Walking is superb. Muscle strengthening is superb. Gardening when the season is right is amazing. No gyms are even required for the physical activity that will make you feel good. If a knee or back injury happens – and they happen to the best of us! – your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc is ready 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 WEATHER
A study done 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 met 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 did throughout the year? 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 certain conditioning activities people will do. Proposals for physical activity recommendations must use those to encourage the most physical activity possible. (1) What do you like to do? Hollstrom & Associates Inc is confident our Largo chiropractic patients and their families can discover physical activities to do any time of year! Heck, even in snow, a good snowball toss can get us moving!
OLYMPIC EXERCISE
Winter and summer, Olympians move! They are very much like us though their training may be a bit more intense. Elite athletes like the Olympians deal with pain and depression and keep moving. A study of Olympians from the 1948 to 2018 games found that 32.4% describe 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 suffered in their training days. Depression was recounted by 6.6% of them.
