I always appreciate the kind words from my patients! 🌟

“Taylor is amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional and comfortable to be around. Her knowledge and tools go beyond what I used to associate with chiropractor visits! I was having some problems around my knee that had me not running for a couple weeks. The discomfort and pain was gone as soon as I left her office!! My only regret is not seeing her sooner! Highly recommend her to everyone!!”

They say sitting is the new smoking. 🚭

So if you’re stuck at a desk for work, school, or studying, here are some tips that may help you combat the aches and pains that can come with sitting for prolonged periods. 👨‍💻

Also remember: there isn’t always ‘poor’ posture, just not enough movement!
Any prolonged static position can create stiffness and tightness, so don’t forget to change positions and get up and move! 🤸‍♂️

Let’s start this Fall off with a great set up!

FAQ FRIDAY! 🤔

Q: Do I need to have an injury to see a chiro?

A: No! We can work on preventative care- addressing minor issues before they become major.

It’s actually a lot easier (for you and me) if you come in before you’re injured. It means we can work on mobility restrictions and improve strength to be able to handle anything your sport or life are going to throw at you.

Body maintenance is like bullet proofing.
The better you feel, the better you perform.

FAQ FRIDAY! 🤔

Q: I stretch everyday, so why do I still feel tight?

A: A tight muscle often means a weak muscle.

🧠 It’s neurological– your body might be keeping muscles “tight” to protect unstable joints or areas that lack strength or stability.
So you stretch, feel better for a bit, but the tightness returns. Why? Because the root issue— often a lack of control or strength— is still there.

Instead, add eccentric exercises to your warm up (see my last video for some examples!), try training in full ranges of motion, and focus on stability. This tells your body: “it’s safe to let go”. Then almost like magic, more mobility and less tightness! 💪

🌀 It’s not about stretching harder, it’s about moving smarter.

I always appreciate the kind words from my patients! 🌟

Here’s the full review (post was edited for length):

“Taylor is such a great chiropractor! I came in with sharp lower back pain that was preventing me from sleeping, and I was worried I might be developing a slipped disc. Taylor did a very thorough assessment. She asked detailed questions, checked my range of motion, and physically pinpointed the area of greatest pain.

During the initial visit, she provided targeted treatment, including localized massage with a massage gun, cupping to relax the area, and spinal adjustments (“cracking my back”) in a few different ways. She clearly explained what was likely causing the pain and how it developed, then guided me through some exercises right there in the clinic.

The appointment lasted 60 minutes, but it felt like I received two hours’ worth of care. I left with plenty of helpful resources on how to manage and prevent future pain. Within just a few days, the pain was gone, and I was back to backpacking and rock climbing in no time.

Taylor is incredibly knowledgeable and explains how the body and muscles work in ways that are easy to understand. I highly recommend booking with her!”

FAQ FRIDAY! 🤔

Q: Will chiropractic care interfere with my training?

A: Not at all! My goal is to keep you training
and off the bench.

You don’t have to have an injury to come see me for chiropractic.

I can work with your training plan and coach (if needed) to make sure you are moving better and getting stronger for your sport or activity.

Pre-event chiropractic care can be just as important as recovery treatments. I can help you with that nagging ache that you’re trying to ignore, or make sure things are moving properly to prevent injury.

So whether it’s your first couch-to-5k, your 10th mountain biking season, or your 100th marathon (!!), preventative and maintenance care can have a place in your training program.

FAQ FRIDAY! 🤔

Q: Does cracking my knuckles cause arthritis?

A: Nope! That’s just what your grandma told you because she wanted you to stop, probably.

This is an old myth that is just that, a myth.

Arthritis is a normal part of aging, and does not increase just because you’ve created a gas bubble in your knuckle and it made a sound.

So if it feels good when you crack your knuckles, then go for it! You’re not necessarily causing any problems for future you.

FAQ FRIDAY! 🤔

Q: What is sciatica?

A: The term sciatica encompasses a broad spectrum of symptoms usually including low back, buttocks, and/or leg pain.

The sciatic nerve is comprised of a bundle of nerves coming from the low back that run down the back of the leg to the foot.

Anywhere along the sciatic nerve’s path tight muscles, stiff joints, poor movement patterns, or other external compression can cause irritation to the nerve. This most commonly happens around the low back or buttocks.

An irritated nerve usually causes symptoms of pain, tingling, or sometimes numbness along its path, in this case the low back, buttocks, or back of the leg.

Treatment involves decreasing irritation and sensitivity of the sciatic nerve with light stretches and exercises, adjustments and soft tissue work to relax tight muscles around the joint, and advice on how to decrease irritating movements or positions.

Let me be your movement guide and help you navigate the possible sciatic pain you are feeling.

About Dr. Cooksley

Dr. Taylor Cooksley, originally from Sherwood Park, is excited to be back in her home town after pursuing post-secondary education in both Calgary and Portland, Oregon. She grew up spending most of her time acting and dancing, and is formally trained in many dance genres. It was through her active lifestyle that she grew interested in human movement and mechanics. She went on to pursue a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree at The University of Calgary, then moved to Portland, Oregon where she completed both Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees at The University of Western States. While in chiropractic school, Dr. Cooksley was involved in many clubs, and even became one of the heads of the MPI club, running seminars and mentoring her peers. She also stayed close to her roots and took many seminars on sports rehabilitation to further understand how to use movement to diagnose and treat many conditions. She is also formally trained in Active Release Technique (ART), Smart Tools (a soft tissue technique similar to Graston), Clincial Neurodynamics, and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) Exercise techniques.

Dr. Cooksley loves working with all patients, from new and expecting mothers and their children to elite athletes to the aging population. She understands that each patient is unique and deserves a unique and individualized treatment plan. No matter who you are, Dr. Cooksley wants to keep you moving so you can keep doing what you love.
