Lateral Side Stretch
This exercise stretches and strengthens the intercostal muscles, which are the muscles that help support your ribs. This stretch can also lengthen the abdominal muscles, hips, and thigh muscles, while improving flexibility in your spine.
Sphinx Stretch
The Sphinx helps strengthen the spine and rebalance the natural curve of your lower back. You'll also stretch your chest, shoulders and abdominal wall which will help strengthen your core and open up your chest.
> Start by lying face-down on the floor with your legs extended behind you, hip width apart.
> Place your elbows directly underneath your shoulder blades. Press the tops of your feet into the ground and engage your quadriceps.
> While inhaling, press your palms into the ground and lift your upper body up.
> Keep your head in a neutral position.
> Return to the starting position by letting your forearms support you and returning your upper body to the ground.
How are you planning to take in the last weeks of Summer?

Sitting for prolonged periods, especially with bad posture, is the most common cause of tight muscles on the side of your neck, also known as the levator scapulae muscles.
When the levator scapulae is tight it can cause discomfort or pain in your neck as well as your shoulders.
In this video Dr. Al shows you how to perform the levator scapulae stretch to help you find some relief!
Every morning you have two options. Continue to sleep with your dreams or wake up and chase them 🏔️ Take the weekend and chase some of your dreams!

What are the most common injuries a personal injury chiropractor deals with?
As you may have guessed, joint and ligament injuries are super common. Whiplash is an example of this type of injury and it doesn't need a high-speed accident to occur.
