⛳️ Spring golf is back — and so are the backs, elbows, and hips that weren’t ready for opening week.

A lot of golfers assume pain comes from one bad swing. More often, it builds from doing too much too soon after a winter of less rotation, less range time, and less tissue conditioning.

Early in the season, the body often has a harder time handling:
• repeated trunk rotation
• force transfer through the hips and torso
• gripping and forearm loading
• the volume jump from zero to multiple buckets or rounds

That is why low back pain, medial elbow pain, hip tightness, and thoracic stiffness tend to show up so quickly once golf resumes.

For most golfers, the goal should not just be to “loosen up.” It should be to improve how the body rotates, transfers force, and tolerates repeated swings over time.

Helpful places to start:
• warm up before range sessions
• build volume gradually
• keep hip and thoracic mobility moving well
• improve rotational strength and control
• don’t ignore early elbow or back symptoms

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care is built around movement quality, load management, and long-term resilience so you can keep playing, not just calm symptoms after they flare up.

🌱🏡 Spring yard work feels productive — but your body might not be ready for it.

After a winter of lower activity, jumping straight into raking, lifting, and yard clean-up can overload tissues that haven’t built up their capacity yet.

Here’s why injuries tend to show up early in the season:

• Sudden spikes in activity exceed tissue tolerance
• Reduced hip mobility increases stress on the low back
• Lower trunk endurance leads to fatigue and poor control
• Repetitive overhead work can irritate the shoulders
• Prolonged bending creates sustained load on the spine

The issue usually isn’t the task — it’s how quickly the load increases.

A better approach:

1. Treat yard work like exercise, not a one-day project
2. Build workload gradually over 1–2 weeks
3. Use a hip hinge instead of rounding your back
4. Rotate tasks every 20–30 minutes
5. Address stiffness early instead of pushing through

Improving mobility, strength, and load tolerance may help reduce injury risk and keep you moving consistently through the season.

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care focuses on building resilience — not just treating pain after it shows up.

🔁 Does this sound familiar?

The pain improves… you get back to normal… and then a few weeks later it’s back again.

Recurring pain is rarely random. Often, symptoms settle — but the underlying movement pattern, load tolerance, or coordination issue hasn’t changed. When the same stress returns, so does the pain.

Common reasons pain keeps coming back:
• Movement patterns haven’t been addressed
• Tissue capacity wasn’t rebuilt
• Load increased too quickly
• The nervous system remains sensitive
• Care focused only on symptoms

Pain relief doesn’t always mean the body is ready.

A movement-based approach looks at how your spine and joints move, how load is distributed, and whether strength and control match your daily demands. The goal isn’t just short-term relief — it’s building resilience so flare-ups become less frequent and less intense.

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care is evidence-informed and focused on movement, load management, and long-term function — not just temporary symptom reduction.

🏃‍♂️🌱 Spring in Edmonton means one thing — people start running again.

Longer days and warmer weather bring motivation back quickly… but tissues don’t adapt overnight. One of the biggest predictors of running injury isn’t running itself — it’s how quickly training load increases.

Spring running injuries are often linked to:
• Sudden mileage spikes
• Adding speed or hills too early
• Transitioning from treadmill to pavement
• Winter deconditioning
• Footwear changes
• Ignoring early pain signals

Most running injuries are overuse-related, not traumatic. That means they’re often load-management issues — not “bad luck.”

Chiropractic care may help by improving joint mobility, supporting movement efficiency, managing soft-tissue load, and guiding progressive return-to-run strategies. The goal isn’t to stop you from running — it’s to help your body adapt to it.

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care is movement-focused and evidence-informed — designed to keep runners resilient, adaptable, and consistent.

💪🦴 “Your core is weak.”

It’s something many people with back pain hear — but core stability isn’t just about doing more planks or crunches.

True core function is about coordination and control. It involves deep spinal stabilizers, breathing mechanics, pelvic control, and how your hips and spine work together under load. Research suggests that for many people with back pain, the issue isn’t lack of strength — it’s timing, control, and movement efficiency.

Poor core stability may contribute to:
• Excessive spinal motion under load
• Delayed muscle activation
• Over-bracing and fatigue
• Recurrent back “tweaks”
• Pain that returns despite regular exercise

Doing more generic core exercises doesn’t always solve the problem. Improving how your body controls movement often matters more than how hard your abs can contract.

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care focuses on restoring spinal mobility, reducing muscle guarding, and retraining functional core control — so your spine is supported during real-world movement, not just gym exercises.

🌱❄️ Just because winter is over doesn’t mean winter stiffness disappears.

After months of reduced movement, prolonged sitting, cold-related muscle guarding, and lower activity levels, it’s common for neck pain, low back stiffness, shoulder tightness, and hip discomfort to linger into spring.

Many people assume it will “work itself out” once they get active again — but jumping back into yard work, running, or gym training too quickly can actually aggravate tissues that have deconditioned over the winter.

Lingering winter pain is often linked to:
• Reduced daily movement
• Prolonged static posture
• Decreased tissue tolerance
• Sudden spikes in spring activity
• Ongoing muscle tension

Spring is the ideal time to reset movement quality, rebuild capacity gradually, and address restrictions before they become chronic.

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care focuses on restoring mobility, reducing muscle guarding, and reintroducing activity progressively — so you can move into spring stronger and more confident.

🧠➡️🏃‍♂️ Pain relief is helpful — but lasting relief requires more than a quick fix.

Hands-on chiropractic care can reduce pain and restore mobility, while exercise-based rehabilitation helps your body adapt, build capacity, and maintain those gains. When either approach is used alone, symptoms often return. When combined, they may support better long-term outcomes.

This integrated approach may help by:
• Reducing pain and stiffness that limit movement
• Restoring joint mobility so exercise is more tolerable
• Reinforcing healthier movement patterns
• Building strength, endurance, and confidence
• Reducing flare-ups and recurrence over time

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care is intentionally structured to combine manual therapy with progressive exercise — focusing on function, resilience, and long-term results, not just short-term symptom relief.

🤕❄️ If your headaches tend to worsen in winter, you’re not imagining it.

Colder temperatures, reduced movement, increased screen time, posture changes, stress, and disrupted sleep all place extra load on the neck, upper back, and nervous system. For many people, this combination contributes to more frequent tension-type headaches, cervicogenic headaches, and even migraines during the winter months.

Winter-related headaches are often linked to:
• Increased neck and upper-back stiffness
• Prolonged sitting and screen use
• Postural strain
• Higher stress levels
• Reduced physical activity
• Poor sleep quality

Chiropractic care may help by addressing contributing factors such as joint restriction, muscle tension, postural load, and nervous system stress — rather than just chasing symptoms.

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care is evidence-informed and movement-focused, with an emphasis on identifying why headaches increase and how to reduce their frequency and intensity over time.

🦵➡️🦴 Low back pain isn’t always about the low back.

Your hips are designed to be mobile and powerful, while your lower back is meant to be more stable. When hip mobility or control is limited, movement demands often shift to the lumbar spine — increasing stress and contributing to recurring stiffness or flare-ups.

Restricted hip movement may contribute to:
• Back stiffness after sitting
• Pain when bending or lifting
• Discomfort with squats or lunges
• Recurrent “tweaks” during daily tasks
• Back pain that improves temporarily, then returns

Chiropractic care may help by assessing how your hips, pelvis, and spine work together — not just where it hurts. Restoring joint mobility, reducing muscle tension, and reinforcing better movement patterns through rehab can reduce unnecessary compensation and support healthier loading.

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care is evidence-informed and movement-based, with a focus on long-term function — not quick fixes.

😴🌀 Struggling with sleep and chronic pain? They’re often more connected than people realize.

Poor sleep can increase pain sensitivity, muscle tension, and stiffness — while ongoing pain makes it harder to fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up feeling refreshed. Over time, this creates a cycle where recovery slows and discomfort becomes persistent.

Chiropractic care may help by:
• Improving spinal mobility for better nighttime comfort
• Reducing muscle tension that interferes with sleep
• Supporting nervous system regulation and relaxation
• Addressing neck, back, and shoulder pain that disrupts rest
• Providing guidance on sleep position and pillow support

Better sleep often starts with better pain management.

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care is evidence-informed and movement-focused — designed to help reduce pain, support recovery, and improve overall sleep comfort.

🏋️‍♂️🦴 Strength isn’t just about strong muscles — it’s about how well your body moves under load.

Restricted spinal mobility can limit squats, deadlifts, overhead presses, and lunges by forcing compensations, reducing stability, and increasing injury risk. When the spine doesn’t move efficiently, performance plateaus and discomfort often follows.

Spinal mobility plays a key role in:
• Maintaining a neutral spine
• Proper core bracing
• Efficient hip hinge mechanics
• Shoulder and thoracic movement
• Balance and control under load

Chiropractic care may help by restoring joint motion, reducing muscle tension, supporting movement coordination, and reinforcing efficient lifting patterns through rehab.

As a former elite athlete and University of Alberta Golden Bears captain, Dr. Braich understands the demands of strength training and performance-based movement.

At Dr. Harman Braich, Chiropractor, care is movement-focused and evidence-informed — designed to help you lift better, move better, and train with confidence.

Chiropractic care may help support your fitness goals by:
• Improving joint mobility for safer lifting
• Supporting balance and movement control
• Reducing pain and stiffness that interrupt training
• Helping prevent common gym injuries
• Reinforcing efficient movement patterns through rehab

Staying consistent isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about moving better.
