🔹 ᴄʜɪʀᴏᴘʀᴀᴄᴛɪᴄ 🔹

A Chiropractic Doctor is a primary care neuromusculoskeletal expert who assess’ and treat several conditions that arise in the nerves, muscle and joints.

🔻
This means anyone experiencing pain or other symptoms in the neck, back and extremities may see a Chiropractor directly for assessment.

🔻
Chiropractors can develop and carry out a comprehensive treatment/management plan, recommend therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies, and provide nutritional, dietary and lifestyle counselling.

🔻
During your initial Assessment visit, you should expect Dr. Clutton will conduct a thorough health history and a physical examination that may include movement assessment, orthopaedic testing, neurological screening and tissue palpation. - wearing comfortable clothing that does not limit movement and ability assess tissues is very helpful.

🔻
Your chiropractor should recommend a course of treatment specific to you that may also include mobilization of the joints, soft tissue therapy, and therapeutic exercises.
Dr. Clutton may also provide nutritional counselling and recommend rehabilitation and injury prevention strategies. He will discuss any treatment options with you so that you can collaboratively decide together on the best course of action for you.

🔻
If Dr. Clutton diagnoses a condition more appropriately treated or co-managed with another health care professional, he will make a referral.

🔻
People often see a chiropractor for pain however, Dr. Clutton also has several patients looking to improve their movement and performance for personal health and fitness goals.

🔻
Dr. Clutton’s background in strength & conditioning, and sports allows him to effectively rehabilitate many athletic injuries.

🔻
Remember, I believe you don’t have to be an athlete to be treated like one.

And if you’ve not be properly assessed, then your treatment plan has just been guessed.

Going to Sleep is not like turning off a light Switch.

It’s more like Landing a Plane.
There are processes and rituals that make the safe landing.

Here’s some effective ways to work on sleeping better

・・・

1. Keep a regular Sleep Schedule: Go to bed and Wake up at the same time as much as you can.

2. Don’t exercise too close to bed time (unless you’re used to it): Get your exercise but try to avoid it 2-3 hrs before bed IF you can.

3. Avoid Caffeine and Ni****ne: Both can act as a stimulant so avoid both or at least limit it to earlier in your day.

4. Avoid Alcohol/THC before bed: Alcohol can reduce your REM sleep keeping you in lighter sleep.

5. Avoid consuming large Meals or Drinks before bed: Both can interfere with your sleep quality.

6. Where possible avoid medications that interfere with sleep: Some medications may decrease your REM sleep, see your Medical Doctor about this.

7. Avoid naps later in your day: Can give you trouble with falling asleep.

8. Relax before bed: Turn down your brain and body, try to schedule this time in if you can.

9. Hot Bath/Shower before bed: It will create a subsequent drop in core body temp and help you sleep better.

10. Keep a dark, cool (60 degrees F), gadget free bedroom: Allows the right hormones and peptide to be released for sleep.

11. Get enough sunlight during the day: Sun exposure helps regular sleep patterns.

12. Don’t stay in bed if you can’t sleep: If you find yourself awake in bed for more than 20 minutes, or you’re starting to get anxious in bed, get up and do something else until you feel sleepy. (But keep the lights dimmed)

Where your Focus goes, is where your energy flows.

In training and in life, what you focus on is what you experience.

If everything you focus on is negative, life will be a negative experience.

Goodluck with those new year resolutions.

Stay Healthy. Happy. Strong.

Look at the pain around me,
This is what I’m crying for.
Look at the pain around me,
This is what I’ll die for.
— Iced Earth

Spending a weekend talking to and listening to trainers, coaches and therapists reminds me of why what we do is so taxing.

We get to help people ease some suffering and make their lives just a little better - if we care enough.

Just care a little more.

But first, care about yourself and get your stuff in order for 2025

Stay Healthy. Happy. Strong.

“Listening is not waiting for your turn to Talk”


The best thing I did for my practice was to shut up and listen.

It also helps when patients do the same at certain times🤣
