Why Movement Matters for Your Nervous System 💫
It’s the start of a new year, and it’s great that many people are focused on working out to get healthier, but your body actually NEEDS movement to help your nervous system thrive!
Yes, working out is great for building muscle and revving up metabolism, but how your brain and body communicate is just as important. Every stretch, step, and breath sends input through the nervous system - helping it stay adaptable, balanced, and resilient.
When movement slows down (hello, holiday hibernation 🥴), your body may feel stiff and less than it’s best, but your nervous system actually becomes less efficient at processing stress and sensory input. That’s why after long periods of sitting or inactivity, you might feel foggy, irritable, or even anxious for “no reason.”
Intentional, consistent movement like walking, stretching, yoga, playing with your kids helps keep your brain/body communication!
Chiropractic care helps make that movement easier and more effective by improving alignment, coordination, and overall adaptability. Chiropractic care is also the cornerstone of ensuring that your nervous system functions at its best ability.
You don’t need a trendy or perfect fitness plan - you just need to MOVE! Move to regulate, to release stress, to remind your body that it’s safe, strong, and designed to adapt.
This year, let’s make movement less about “doing all the things” - and more about nourishing the connection within! 🤍
