I know I know… some of you that read the title of this post immediately said to yourself “Yeah, well my arthritis keeps me from being active” or something along those lines.<\/p>\n

I realize that not everyone has the same genetics, some people have past injuries, etc.<\/p>\n

I get all that.<\/p>\n

BUT let me say that regardless of the limitations you should always do what you can, when you can, however you can to move and strengthen your body.<\/p>\n

Many of you know that my mom has Parkinson’s Disease (misdiagnosed by a dozen doctors and finally pinpointed and diagnosed many years ago while I was in chiropractic college by a chiropractor that I greatly admire – who was also my neurology instructor).<\/p>\n

Much of the day she is ‘off’ meaning she is not moving well enough to get exercise. But when she is ‘on’ I make sure to constantly remind her to use her dumbbells and thera-bands for resistance to keep her joints moving and bones strong. She also takes a walk or gets out in the yard in some way or another.<\/p>\n

It’s not a lot but some is better than none. So as your chiropractor I implore you to get moving however and whenever you can.<\/p>\n

My job it to help boost your vitality; not only by realigning your spine so that the nerve impulses to your body are uninterrupted but also by reminding you to keep moving.<\/p>\n

Movement is life and if you stop moving the ‘life’ will slowly fade from your body and it will begin to deteriorate.<\/p>\n

Keep moving and maximize your life potential!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
