In This Episode:
- Top 3 stretches we all must do regularly
- Why not doing all 3 is a big mistake
- How to take better care of our body
These movements are NOT a substitute for getting our spine adjusted routinely by a Doctor of Chiropractic. These movements SHOULD be done in between visits for optimal results. The Chiropractor releases central spinal stiffness. The patient releases stiffness attaching to the spine. BOTH are required for optimal health and longevity.
What Are The Top 3 Stretches?
- Supine side posture stretch
- lengthens back of our body
- Standing side body stretch
- lengthens side of our body
- Standing hip flexor stretch
- lengthens front of our body
Why Must We Do All 3 Regularly?
The simple answer is this…
Our body is designed to move in 3 basic planes of motion. As a function of time and use, our body can grow stiff in all 3 planes. Therefore we must lengthen and strengthen our body regularly in all 3 planes… or else!
Most people have tension in all 3 areas (back, front, side).
Good news… This advice will help BIG time!
Supine Side Posture Flow
In order to feel and function at our best, we must always be releasing tension from the BACK of our body like this.
Standing Side Body Flow
In order to feel and function at our best, we must always be releasing tension from the SIDE of our body like this.
Standing Hip Flexor Flow
In order to feel and function at our best, we must always be releasing tension from the FRONT of our body like this.
Final Thoughts On This
These are areas of tension that very few people know how to address properly. But, now you do. The next step is DOING THEM regularly for the rest of your life.
PLEASE… Show your friends and family how to do this, and tell them… they too should be going to a wellness-based Doctor of Chiropractic.
The best doctors are not the ones that merely treat our symptoms, but the ones that teach us how to naturally take better care of ourselves, yes?
