Now that autumn is in full swing and temperatures start to drop, it’s important to keep our backs in mind. As the weather gets cooler and barometric pressure drops, it can put more pressure on the joints which can lead to more pain. Here are some tips and tricks to help at this time of year!

1. Take breaks! The final gardening jobs are being done before winter so make sure you’re taking regular breaks if doing any heavy work like shovelling. Avoid repetitive bending and overstretching through the low back to reduce the stress put through it.
2. Keep warm! Using multiple layers is a great way to keep warm and reduce stiffness in the muscles and joints.
3. Stay active! With the days getting darker, it’s temping to do less, however it’s still important to try and do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise a week!
4. Warm up properly! Before any physical activity, make sure you warm up your joints and muscles to avoid injury.

We’re going to share some more patient stories to show how Chiropractic has helped our lovely community!

This is Karen. She came to us with a 6 year history of low back and right leg pain after a gardening injury.
The pain had meant she had to give up horse riding and made some activities of daily living difficult.
She’d tried everything from strong pain medication to seeing a consultant and was still struggling.
Although Karen was very nervous to try Chiropractic, she decided it was worth a try. Since starting treatment with Chiropractor Tamzin, Karen has noticed a great difference! She can drive and sit at work for longer with less pain, she can walk further to do errands and is sleeping better too. We’ve still got work to do but we’re so pleased with the progress Karen has made so far 🙌🏼

Thank you to everyone who sponsored Ben and the team on their cycle ride this weekend. So far they’ve raised over £1000 for the charity Tommy’s and appreciate all the support! They’re a little sore this week, but it was for a worthy cause. We’re still collecting for another couple of weeks if anyone wishes to donate: https://www.justgiving.com/page/ben-ed-steve?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR18o_f8Fn-nylzYEA-tc-d6ZiVrJPqg7Gcrx3IE7xdJf6xoL6u4h4DhhG0_aem_VC3N9pRKabmpE17Jxeg5CA

With Christmas less than a month away, we’re all starting to get prepared for the big day. You may have started wrapping presents already but if not, here’s some tips to not hurt your back this Christmas:

1. Don’t wrap presents on the floor
It’s tempting to have everything spread across the floor and just get it done - we’ve all done it! But the prolonged bending forward and lack of breaks tends to cause back pain through repetitive twisting, bending and over reaching.

2. Wrap as you buy
To avoid having a big pile of presents that need wrapping a day or two before Christmas, try to wrap as you buy. This means you’re not tempted to spend hours wrapping which can then aggravate low back pain.

3. Make a present wrapping station
Whether this is sitting at the table or standing at the ironing board, either of these will encourage better posture and reduce the risk of pulling your back.

4. Do some stretches
After you’ve done some wrapping, take time to stretch. Simple movements such as shoulder rolls or a prayer stretch can help reduce muscle tension from the repetitive movements of wrapping presents.

With Autumn rolling in, it’s getting to that time of the year where the garden needs preparing for winter. For some, this can mean hours spent getting the garden ready which can put a lot of stress on our bodies leading to aches and pains. Here’s some tips to try and avoid aggravating your back when tending to your garden:
1. When pruning, get as close to the plant as possible to avoid over stretching.
2. If you have to get to lower shrubs, get onto your hands and knees rather than trying to bend from a standing position.
3. If trying to reach up high, use a ladder. Make sure you are always facing the ladder, keeping your shoulders, hips and knees pointing in the same direction.
4. Jobs like raking and sweeping up leaves do tend to put more stress on the low back. Make sure you take regular breaks and change position/job every 20-30 minutes.
