My latest painting….. “Jordan Rules”

If I think of basketball 🏀 I think of Michael Jordan.

Back in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s the Detroit Pistons created what was called the ‘Jordan Rules’.

This was a tactic to try and shut the great Michael Jordan down.

This image is a classic from that time.

I wanted to recreate it in my style, with a slight difference.

I tried to simplify the Piston players, with less detail and simple black and white colours, and making use of the negative space. To make Jordan stand out, i decided to paint him in colour.

I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Let me know in the comments what you think.

In this video, I show four ways to strengthen your lower back. These exercises are targeted towards the Multifidus muscles, which after an injury or disuse can switch off and shrink, and this can lead to lower back issues.

Of course it’s impossible to target one specific muscle, but I think you get the idea.

The exercises start from nice and easy and progress to more traditional, heavy weighted exercises.

If you have an injury or a history of lower back issues, always start genle, and build slowly. Make sure to check with your health professional if you are unsure.

If you have any questions, reach out, I’m happy to help.

PS for more information on these exercises check out our recent blog post.

With back pain, people often focus on where it hurts.

But sometimes, the real issue can be what’s going on underneath.

The multifidus muscle is a deep stabilizing muscle that can switch off after an injury, or weaken with disuse (and it may not always recover on its own either).

This could be one of the reasons why your back problems keep returning. (Of course, there can be other reasons, but this is a good place to start).

In this video, I explain what can happen to these muscles and why it is so important to make sure they are strong.

Have you heard of these muscles before?

If you spend a lot of time sitting, your neck and upper back can gradually drift into a rounded position.

Bruggers relief position is a simple way to reset posture and activate the muscles that support the spine.

Small movement breaks throughout the day can make a big difference in how you feel at the end of it.

My latest painting…. “Kelly Slater, riding the barrel”.

I had a skim board at home that I had painted a few years ago, but never really liked what I created, so I sanded it down and repainted it.

This is the first surfer I have painted and love how it turned out. I’m still figuring out painting water though.

I added a touch of colour with the red Quicksilver logo for a bit of interest.

My favourite part of this is the water drops over parts of his body, I think they add a bit of interest to it.

Your brain 🧠 constantly refines itself through a process called synaptic pruning. This is where the brain 🧠 strengthens frequently used neural pathways and trims or prunes unused ones.

Moving your body isn’t just exercise, it’s reinforcing some of these pathways.

This is the use it or lose it principle in action.

What’s one movement you want to keep for life? Let me know in the comments.

For me, the ability to get up and down off the floor without thinking about it is key one.

Here’s something to think about out when it comes to training or exercising.

I love the idea of every time you train, you are putting deposits in your bank.

The key is to make sure you have enough deposits to draw on when you need it.

Why do you exercise? Let me know in the comments

A little bit about us...

I am a chiropractor, father of 2 beautiful girls, husband and part time artist. My goal is to help people FEEL, MOVE and FUNCTION better. I achieve this through, chiropractic adjustments, exercise/movement prescription and advice. I practice what I preach by getting adjusted, eating well (most of the time) and exercising regularly. We also need to rest and I use my artwork as my way to de-stress.

I like to live by the mantra “Try to move more things, more often”. It is a simple fact that if we all moved a little more and did it regularly, you will be amazed at how good you can feel, and how easy it can be.

I hope to provide lots of useful information, tips and tools that you can use to help your own body feel, move and function better. Watch our videos, read our blogs on our website and most importantly....... try them. I know if you do, your body will thank you for it.
