Did you pull a hammy? 🦵

Hamstring strains are common with running. This is because the hamstrings must slow down the leg as it swings.

When it comes to prevention and returning to sport, the Nordic hamstring curl is the go-to exercise for helping strengthen the hamstrings. However, if the Nordic hamstring curl is too difficult, there are other exercises that we recommend to help!

Did you know your body composition is crucial to back health as you age? 💡

A recent study found that men over 60 with higher muscle mass experienced less back pain and disability over 10 years. On the other hand, gaining just 7 pounds in 5 years increased the risk of back pain-related disability.

Strength training to build lean muscle and maintaining a healthy weight are essential for keeping your back strong and pain-free as you age! 🙌 Check out this infographic for more tips on healthy exercise! https://bit.ly/3kbu22X

When you think of core muscles, you likely picture your abdominals.

However, your core actually forms a 360º degree ring around your spine, made up of not only the abdominals but also back muscles, obliques, and more, with the pelvic floor and diaphragm forming the top and bottom.

If any part of this system is out of balance, it can disrupt your ability to stabilize the spine, leading to pain. 👎

That’s why we take a comprehensive approach to identify the root cause and treat every factor contributing to your discomfort! 🙌
