What do a bunch of chiros and their team do for an Xmas work party?

We dominate at lawn balls.

Couldn't ask for a better bunch of cool cats to hangout with in 29°C weather.

If you've been feeling a bit run down lately, you're not alone. We find that the final stretch to the holidays leaves people feeling stressed and worn a bit thin.😓

To ensure that your body is able to resist the stress placed on it over the next coming weeks, try to ensure that you're checking these wellbeing tips off each week. 🔥

Fuel (water and nutritious food) 🥕🥑🥗
When we fuel our bodies with good food, and adequate hydration we give ourselves the energy needed to meet the demands of our day

Rest 😴
I know this seems like a given, however we should all be striving for at least 8hrs of sleep per night. This will help your body reset, so that you can take on the next day!

Get Checked ✅
Ensure you're receiving your regular chiropractic checks to ensure your body is stress free and able to take on the stressors you'll experience into the holidays

Exercise 🏃
Even if it seems like the last thing you want to do, exercising at least 30 mins three times per week will help your body feel more energised due to the increase of dopamine into the system.

Should you find that you've tried all of these things, and you're still feeling run down, have a chat with your chiropractor to see what else you may need to try or incorporate into your routine 😊

💫What is chiropractic? 💫

Chiropractic looks at the relationship between the brain and body through the spine and nervous system.🧠

Why is this important?
Your nervous system regulates every function within your body. From your heart beating, breathing, hormone secretion, to higher cognitive functions such as solving a problem.❓

It is so integral to our health and wellbeing, that is it the only system within our body that is encased in bone.🦴

When we experience various stressors in our lives, this can effect how well our brain can communicate with our body. Thus creating tension, causing our bodies to function suboptimally.👎

This is where your chiropractor comes in.

We look at restoring the natural communication from the brain to the body, which enhances your overall function. That's where the magic happens! 💫

If you'd like to see how well your nervous system is functioning, and what it truly means to live life with less tension and stress within the body, ensure to book in with your nearest chiropractor 😊

💛The magic of chiropractic for children💛

I often find that many of my practice members are amazed when I tell them that chiropractic is very beneficial for little humans.

Just like adults, our children have spines and nervous systems that also experience bumps and falls, and it's even more important for them to get checked as their bodies grow at such a rapid pace.

A baby's brain for instance grows doubles in size during it's first year of life. How cool is that?

It's all about setting solid foundations for our children, so that as they grow, their body's and nervous system can't adapt to their ever changing environments

💫Refresh. Reset. Rejuvenate.

Took the weekend to get away from the hustle and bustle of the past few months to allow myself a moment to breathe.

It was exactly what I needed so that I can be more present with my community.

Bring on the next few months to finish the year off 💪

🎉HAPPY 128 YEARS CHIROPRACTIC 🎉

As a chiropractor, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be apart of a profession that strives for people to be their best selves.

Through the laughs, tears, joy, and days of challenges, I am so blessed to share the magic of chiropractic with our community. And to experience what having a well functioning body and nervous system truly feels like.

Here's to celebrating this beautiful profession, and all the limitless possibilities that our bodies can accomplish with it.

💪LETS GET TO THE CORE OF IT💪

Your core muscles, are the main stabilisers of your trunk. When performing any activity, your core must activate to help prevent injury to your back and surrounding structures.

It is so important to the structure and function of our body that it is comprised of 4 main muscle groups including:
-abdominal muscles (front/sides)
-paraspinal and gluteal muscles (back)
-diaphragm (roof)
-pelvic floor muscles (base)

How does this relate to chiropractic?🧠

When working properly, our brains are accurately able to tell our deep core muscles to activate so that our backs are protected from the forces we may put onto it. If not engaged properly, or if we are in pain, there can be a delay in the information sent from the brain, meaning that the large superficial muscles of our spine has to take over. This creates uneven loading into our spines, which often leads to injury.🚨

As chiropractors, we are trained to analyse whether the muscles within your body are firing properly, and if not, to encourage them to do so with adjustments, or with utilising certain exercises.

Had a special friend hang out with me this morning while they waited for their pawrent to get checked 🐶

Such a great way to start the weekend off right! 💫💫

I wanted to take a minute to celebrate some of our people here in clinic.

These two lovely ladies have been with me since the start of my time . They are a beautiful mother/daughter duo who always come in with smiles and understand the magic of a chiropractic adjustment.

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be able to care for them both, especially through the different stages of their lives.

If you are considering having your spine looked at to ensure you're functioning at your best, please don't hesitate to contact your nearest chiropractor.

😴REST😴

I don't know about you, but sometimes I am not so subtly reminded by my body/mind/life that I need a break.

It's so easy to get caught up in our "to-do" lists that we forget to stop and take a moment to just rest.

Rest is also super important for our health to

💪recover/promote healing

⬇️decrease inflammation in our bodies

🧠 calm our nervous systems

allow us to show up in our lives at 💯instead of at 60%

My challenge for you this week is to get some much needed rest that you may have been putting off. Your body, mind, and heart will thank you for it🩷

Stay amazing beautiful humans 💫

🩵Stop saying sorry🩵

Classic coming from the Canadian, I know...

But please never feel the need to apologize to us if you need a moment to express your emotions. To release tension in your body that you have been storing.

We see you as the beautiful humans you are 💗

-As the tired mums needing a space to tell us that you're struggling with your new routine

-As the overwhelmed university student studying for your 6th straight exam in 2 weeks

-As the overworked nurse on your 4th day of 12 hour shifts at the hospital

We see you, and we are here to help support you and your nervous system through what ever challenges you may be experiencing 💫

So please, don't apologise if you need the space to let your body release some emotions you've been too tired to process. We will gladly hold space for you so that you can really start your healing process ✨️

💫SPINAL CHECK💫
-
-
-
There is a lot of thinking that goes into your spinal check.

When a chiropractor checks your spine, we are trying to get an idea of how your body is under stress to be better able to help your nervous system function better.

We utilize various indicators to help us interpret where your body needs a bit of help so that we can adjust you safely and specifically.

The next time that you get checked, ask your chiropractor what they are looking for, I'm sure they'd love to share their passion of what they do with you 😊
