➡️ Advanced Soft Tissue Therapy for Sports & Everyday Strain

A patient today was experiencing hip stiffness⚡️ that made training and daily activities uncomfortable. Stretching helped, but some movements were still limited 😣.

Using assessment-led soft tissue therapy and movement-focused care 👐🏃‍♂️, we worked on areas that mattered most to support mobility and ease tension.

Research supports combining manual therapy with movement-based exercises to improve function and reduce discomfort. For example, Narenthiran et al. (2025) found that adding manual therapy to exercise could help with pain and disability.

This approach is about supporting your body so you can move more comfortably and stay active 🏋️‍♂️.

Treatment included:
🔅 Massage techniques combined with active movement – taking massage a step further to improve function.
🔅 Western Medical Acupuncture – to help manage muscle tension
🔅 Sports taping – to provide support during activity

Why this approach is different:
✅ Assessment-led, not a set routine
✅ Combines hands-on treatment with movement
✅ Delivered by a regulated healthcare professional

➡️ Comprehensive Care for De Quervain’s Tendonitis (For an Academic Writer)
“When your work depends on your hands, even a small flare-up in the wrist can bring everything to a standstill.”
This academic developed pain and stiffness along the thumb side of the wrist; classic De Quervain’s Tendonitis. While recovering from a leg injury, she relied heavily on her hands for support, overloading the tendons and making daily movements painful.
**Treatment included:**
🔅 Dry Needling - releasing tightness in the muscles and tissue surrounding the irritated tendons to improve circulation and ease local tension.
🔅 Electrical Stimulation - delivering gentle electrical pulses through the needles, boosting circulation, reducing pain, and accelerating tissue healing.
🔅Sports Taping - providing flexible support that reduces load on the injured tendons while still allowing natural, pain-free motion needed for typing and daily activity.
**Key benefits of this approach:**
✅ Reduces tendon strain and mechanical overload
✅ Boosts blood flow and tissue repair
✅ Provides immediate comfort during activity
✅ Supports healing without limiting normal use

Living longer is one thing. Living better is another.

If you want to feel sharper, move better, and stay active into later life, it’s time to build your healthspan toolkit. Here are six strategies supported by emerging science - many rooted in ancient wisdom - and how chiropractic fits into the picture.

⏲️ Intermittent fasting: This has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity, support cellular repair processes like autophagy, and reduce inflammation. Studies have demonstrated that time-restricted feeding can positively impact body weight, blood pressure, and lipid profiles (Patterson et al., 2015).

❄️ Cold exposure: Cold exposure, such as cryotherapy or cold-water immersion, activates brown adipose tissue and improves mitochondrial function. It has been associated with reduced muscle soreness, enhanced immune response, and improvements in mood through endorphin release (Bleakley et al., 2014)

🌡️ Sauna use: Sauna bathing offers cardiovascular benefits comparable to moderate physical activity. Regular sauna use has been linked to reduced risk of sudden cardiac death, fatal coronary heart disease, and all-cause mortality (Laukkanen et al., 2015). It also supports detoxification and heat shock protein activation.

🌳 Forest bathing: Forest bathing (shinrin-yoku), a practice originating in Japan, has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, lower blood pressure, and increase parasympathetic activity. It enhances natural killer cell activity by up to 50%, strengthening immune surveillance (Li, 2010).

🥬Gut health: Microbiome modulation - through diet, probiotics, and lifestyle - can dramatically impact inflammation and mental health. A 2016 study found that probiotic supplementation in Alzheimer’s patients significantly improved cognitive function and metabolic markers (Kobayashi et al., 2016).

🏋️‍♀️ Strength and mobility: Crucial for healthy aging and preventing frailty. One of the most pressing concerns in the context of aging and longevity is sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Sarcopenia is a strong predictor of frailty, disability, and mortality. Chronic low-grade inflammation accelerates muscle wasting and undermines physical resilience.

Chiropractic care, with its focus on spinal health, neuro-musculoskeletal function, and whole-person wellness, is uniquely suited to contribute to longevity science. Chiropractors can offer:

✔️ Functional movement assessments and manual therapies that preserve mobility and prevent musculoskeletal degeneration.

✔️ Education and support for anti-inflammatory lifestyle practices.

✔️ Strategies for stress reduction and autonomic balance through nervous system regulation.

✔️ Referrals and collaborations with other professionals in integrative health to ensure comprehensive care.

Chiropractic is not merely reactive care for back pain; it is an essential component of a proactive, preventative, and participatory model of healthcare.

'Chiropractic, Longevity, and the Lifestyle Revolution: Reframing 21st Century Healthcare' by Dr Faye Deane, explores the intersection between longevity science, lifestyle medicine, and chiropractic practice, with emphasis on inflammation, the gut-brain axis, and the evolving role of chiropractors in public health.
