A quick glimpse of Monday’s workshop at Spine Central 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In a recent post I mentioned how simple life “hacks” can help to prevent causing unnecessary damage to your spine 🦴
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of the things which people tend to do wrongly is the way they sit, sleep and stand 🚶🏾‍♂️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But doing these correctly can help you prevent problems developing and look after your body 🙌🏾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In my opinion, basketball is one of the most physically demanding sports out there 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
24 seconds of high intensity offence, followed immediately by 24 seconds of high intensity defence ON REPEAT 🔁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s no secret that basketball players’ bodies go through a hell of a lot, with games almost daily and practice in between 📆
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most common injuries in this sport are to the ankles, fingers/hands, knees and hips/thighs 🤕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Without even asking him what hurt, we were able to use objective measures to find the specific locations of Chris Newsome’s most recent injuries and address them accordingly 🗺

Now I can’t wait to see that eurostep 😏

Once you get your body corrected, it’s important to learn how to keep it that way 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At Spine Central we want to teach you how to protect your spine with simple lifestyle habits 💪🏾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday I hosted a workshop to work on some of the simplest things which people will tend to do wrongly:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1️⃣ Sitting
2️⃣ Sleeping
3️⃣ Standing
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A lot of chronic structural problems can be linked to lifestyle, so what better way to correct them than exactly that 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure your daily habits are helping your body improve and not causing it to slowly regress 👌🏾

Looking back at the times when I was feeling quick, lean and ready to take off 🛫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I remember this session like it was yesterday — pre-season 2013 feeling quick AF but still flat as a pancake 🥞
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These videos remind me of why I got into chiropractic in the first place 👨🏾‍⚕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even from a young age, I used to be plagued by lower back problems which would hinder my training and progression to the promised sand 🤕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After seeing every other type of practitioner you could imagine, I finally found chiropractic, which fixed my problem within a few sessions 💪🏾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was lucky enough to see a chiropractor who had aspirations to be the best and truly master his healing craft, and is still a huge inspiration to me 🙌🏾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I really wanted to do for others what he did for me — correcting my biomechanical structure to allow me to soar to higher heights 🏃🏾‍♂️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I haven’t had a lower back issue since the age of ~17 ❌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My aspirations with my craft are simple, and are the same as any athlete — to be the best 🏆
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At 25 I’ve got a long way to go, but I’m not stopping until I make it there 🛣

What is it that you’re being held back by ❓
