Strong Bones, Gentle Moves: Stretching for Osteoporosis

Did you know gentle stretching can help improve posture, reduce stiffness, and support bone health for those with osteoporosis?

At BalanceAble Functional Health Chiropractic, we focus on safe, targeted movements that enhance mobility without putting bones at risk.

Here are a few osteoporosis-friendly stretches to try:
✨ Wall Angels – open up your chest and improve posture
✨ Seated Hamstring Stretch – increase flexibility in the back of the legs
✨ Shoulder Rolls – gently relieve upper back tension
✨ Chin Tucks – support neck alignment and posture

Reminder: Always move within a pain-free range and consult a professional before starting a new routine—especially if you’ve been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia.

💬 Want a personalized stretching routine that supports your bone health? Let’s talk!

Sharing some local love and info from Woofie's of Space Coast and remember we can help your dog with Chiropractic adjustments.

Did you know that pavement can reach 125 degrees in summer time? That’s plenty hot enough to burn paw pads. Here are some tips to keep your pup's paws safe:

1. The 5 second test. Place the back of your hand on the pavement. If it’s too hot after 5 seconds, it’s too hot for your pup.

2. Schedule your walks for early mornings or after sunset.

3. Stick to grass, dirt paths, or shaded areas wherever possible.

4. Check paws after walks for redness, cracks or burns.

5. Add the nourishing paw pad balm to your next mobile grooming appointment!

.🌿 Holistic vs. Functional Medicine: What’s the Difference? 🌿
And why does Dr. Karen blend both at BalanceAble?

✨ Holistic Medicine focuses on treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. It’s about balance, natural healing, and personalized care.

🔬 Functional Medicine digs deeper, using advanced testing and root-cause science to ask:
“Why is this happening in the first place?”
It focuses on how your systems interact and creates targeted, individualized plans to restore optimal function.

Dr. Karen combines both approaches—because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.

And yes—she’s a real doctor 👩‍⚕️
✅ Doctor of Chiropractic
✅ Master’s Degree in Nutrition
✅ Bachelor’s in Human Kinetics
(📚 and her hobby? Reading clinical studies... for fun. 🤓)

With her deep clinical knowledge and endless curiosity, Dr. Karen’s mission is to help you look better, feel better, and live better—naturally.
