The adult human skeleton is made up of 206 bones. Interactions between bones and muscles contribute to the wide range of movements your body is capable of making.

But did you know that bones also serve other functions including:
🔹Protecting internal organs
🔹Storing nutrients essential to your body
🔹Producing blood cells

You may see models of some of the bones & joints at the clinic. Our Therapists may use these as tools to help educate their patients.

The bird dog exercise helps to develop strong core strength. Improved core strength can reduce back pain experienced during everyday activity, or with higher intensity exercises.

Ex*****on:
1. Get on your hands and knees, making sure that your hands are under your shoulders and knees are hip distance apart.
2. Tighten your core and begin to extend one leg behind you while keeping the hips level.
3. If you feel stable, start to reach the opposite hand in front of you. Otherwise, practice keeping your hips level with both hands planted on the ground.
4. Hold the position for 2-3 seconds then lower the hands and knees to the ground.
5. Repeat the motion with the alternate side.

Remember to keep the hips in line with each other. Engage the core to keep the back from sagging.

The average Canadian adult sits for about 10 hours per day. A growing variety of research highlights certain risk factors associated with prolonged sitting:
▫️Back Aches
▫️Obesity
▫️Cardiovascular diseases

Joseph is making use of the clinic's standing desk to take a break from sitting, while doing some charting and planning his patients' programs. However, you don't need to be a Kinesiologist or invest in a standing desk to sit less. Here are some ways you can reduce your sitting time and be a little more active:
1. Take short breaks from working at your desk to stand up and stretch
2. Park your car a little further away from work and walk the rest of the way
3. Get off the bus one stop early to get some extra steps in
4. Stand up and/or walk while taking a phone call

These short "sitting breaks" can be an effective way to get yourself moving and to switch up your routine.
