Exercise and Fitness
Body Strength, Stability, Balance And Flexibility All Come From Your Midsection; Your Body Core!
If you're following the trends in exercise and fitness, you have probably heard the phrase "core strength". Your body core is the midsection, from your groin to your shoulders. This includes the pelvis and abdominal, chest and spinal muscles. It is this core that offers your body strength, stability, balance and flexibility. Whether you are reaching for your toothbrush or running a marathon, every movement you make originates in this area of the body. If the core is not properly conditioned and maintained, it will limit your physical abilities. Building core strength promotes a foundation of proper movement, coordination and function.
The development of an exercise routine is a fantastic way to develop core body strength. Through proper lifting techniques and breathing patterns, overall balance and performance can be improved. Unfortunately, all the exercise in the world cannot alleviate certain postural imbalances that exist in the body. These unnoticed imbalances impair the body's ability to become as strong, mobile and efficient as possible. Left unattended, they can even lead to a deterioration of overall health. You can lose a significant amount of the exercise benefit if it is performed with improper postural balance and also cause unnecessary wear and tear or needless injury. If you never balance and align the wheels on your car it will still drive, but the tires and braking system will inevitably wear out prematurely.
These seemingly minor misalignments are often not painful, but they are the beginning of the slow-developing wear and tear called osteoarthritis. This is the kind of arthritis many people associate with "old age" and is responsible for knee, hip and spinal disc degeneration. Chiropractic can restore balance and enhance your exercise routine by focusing on building a strong foundation for these muscles, while optimizing the strength and flexibility of each limb. Because good balance and overall muscular strength are involved in most sports, core strength is helpful for athletes of every type. Improper mobility and balance in the body's core, lowers your efficiency, which means you have to work out longer to achieve your goals.
Chiropractic promotes proper alignment, efficiency and mobility allowing you to achieve the maximum benefit from your exercise program. Let's face it; if chiropractic can enable you to move better, then it will be easier to do more for longer. If your movements are limited, your ability to realize the beneficial effects of any exercise program is going to be hampered. By getting chiropractic care on a regular basis, you are helping ensure that you will be able to compete at a higher level in any sport or activity you take part in, as well as make sure you are less vulnerable to injuries or setbacks.
Most professional and college sports teams recognize the benefits of chiropractic and employ a chiropractic doctor to serve the needs of their players. These teams and their star players, they have found chiropractic to be an excellent source of injury prevention. In fact, many athletes that receive chiropractic treatment report an enhancement in performance as a result of receiving treatment. Many more have even stated they were able to have longer careers as a result of the benefits of treatment. Even though you may not be competing at this level, it is still a good idea to see if chiropractic might enhance your performance at the gym or help improve your game.
In summary, chiropractic care is one of the few health professions that focuses on increasing joint mobility and function. The chiropractic method of joint mobility promotes and enhances normal movement of spinal and other joints. This treatment method creates a good combination of mobility, strength and flexibility, allowing for a well-balanced, functional body with lower instances of injury. Chiropractic treatment and core-muscle training is a powerful combination that can help improve your overall performance. Chiropractic and exercise help restore and maintain health, function, activity and quality of life. Find out if chiropractic could enhance your exercise regiment and maximize your exercise routine. It might just be the answer that gets you back on track and help you gain the winner's edge.
