Structural Chiropractic is not your typical chiropractic office. Conventional Chiropractors focus on temporary reduction in muscle spasm, increasing range of motion, and temporary relief. This is what many Chiropractors offer in the way of care, and we believe they are great at what they do. Unlike traditional Chiropractic, we focus on Structural Correction of the spine, using Specific Chiropractic adjustments to correct Structural Shifts. Structural Chiropractic utilises state-of-the-art equipment to determine the presence of a Structural Shift of the spine, which is typically the underlying cause of numerous Secondary Conditions that you may be experiencing. If Structural Shifts are detected, we then create a personalised plan to correct these abnormalities so that you can feel and look your absolute best. To further understand the caustic nature of a Structural Shift, consider that if a house has a poor foundation, you may find that you see cracks in the walls, windows that may not close correctly, and floors that may squeak. One may choose to continuously address these individual issues (symptoms) by filling in the cracks, lubricating the windows and hammering another nail into the floor, but in all likelihood, they are likely to keep recurring until the underlying cause is corrected. Your spine is the foundation of your body, and all of the organs, muscles, and connective tissue are built around it. Therefore, it is easy to understand the critical nature of undergoing a thorough Structural Examination to determine the presence (or lack thereof) of a Structural Shift. Structural Chiropractic offers a Complimentary Consultation with the doctor to determine if their office is the right fit for your health needs.

Today I’m speaking with the Hastings City Council on a topic close to my heart…men’s health.

The interest has been so strong that we’ve had to change locations to fit everyone in, which says a lot. People are ready to have these conversations.

There’s a powerful parallel between the council’s role in the city and the nervous system’s role in the body.

The council keeps the city running , coordinating roads, water, infrastructure, and planning so the community can function smoothly.

The nervous system does the same …coordinating every cell, organ, and muscle to keep the body in harmony.

When communication breaks down whether between city departments or between the brain and the body systems start to fail. Small issues become big problems.

Men often take pride in “running fine” until something breaks down. But, just like a well-run city, good health comes from maintenance, awareness, and communication … not crisis management.

I’m looking forward to connecting with the team today and helping more men take proactive steps toward better health.

Structure and Function – Lessons from Both Sides of the Blueprint

In 7 minutes, I’ll be speaking with the team at Strata Group, a local firm of structural engineers, about health and human performance.

There’s a fascinating overlap between what they do and what I do.
• They look for stress points, weak foundations, and misalignment in buildings.
• I look for those same problems in the human frame and nervous system.
• They understand that small structural faults can lead to massive functional issues down the line.
• In the body, the same rule applies — when structure is off, function suffers.

Just as engineers know that load, balance, and support determine the integrity of any structure, our spines play that same role in keeping the nervous system stable and efficient.

When you correct the structure, everything else performs better — from communication between nerve pathways to energy, focus, and resilience under stress.

I’m looking forward to drawing those parallels with the Strata team and exploring how a stronger internal framework leads to better function, both in buildings and in bodies.

What do you notice when your own “structure” starts to give way — poor posture, fatigue, headaches, or stress?

I have to reiterate something I’ve said in the past: walking is not exercise.

Walking is one of the best things you can do. I think people should walk every single day as much as they can. You should integrate walking into everyday life so that you end up accumulating over 10,000 steps a day, although I’m not saying you need to track them. Walking is a fundamental human activity. But it’s not exercise.

Exercise is, by definition, a stressful endeavor that provokes a training response. It’s something that pushes you beyond your comfort levels, throws you out of homeostasis, and requires a compensatory response to prepare you to handle the same load more easily next time.

Walking doesn’t qualify. Walking is, by nature, supposed to be effortless.

The one exception is when someone is so out of shape that walking becomes stressful. If you go for a walk around the block and get winded, then sure, that’s exercise. When I was recovering from my hip surgery, walking was provoking an adaptive response, so in that respect, for that small period of time, walking was exercise for me.

I’m also not talking about rucking with 40 pounds on your back or going on a hard hike up a mountain or backpacking through the Sierras. That’s walking-like activity that qualifies as exercise because you’re provoking an adaptive training response.

But my point is, I want you to get out of the mindset of thinking that something has to be exercise to be worth doing. I want you all walking as much as possible, but I don’t want you to think that it’s exercise.

Humans are obligate movers. We amble around, we meander, we fidget, and walking is the greatest expression of that quality. Humans start to get antsy if we stand in place for more than a few minutes. It’s easier for us to just walk than to stand in place. That’s exactly how you know the foundation of being human is walking.
