✨ Did You Know? — Pre-Thanksgiving Stress Shows Up in Your Body ✨
The week before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest of the year — and your body can feel it.
Both adults and kids often experience:
• Tight shoulders
• Headaches
• Restless sleep
• Irritability
• Feeling “forward-heavy” in their posture
Why?
As stress rises, our muscles automatically tense and our posture shifts forward (you may even notice it in little ones learning new skills like squatting, standing, or taking steps!).
The good news: small habits this week can help you feel calmer and more grounded heading into the holiday.
🌾 Simple ways to support your body:
• Take movement breaks every 1–2 hours
• Do 2–3 slow belly breaths before transitioning between tasks
• Get outside for sunlight + fresh air
• Drink water consistently throughout the day
At Country Roads Chiropractic, we help families unwind tension and support healthy mobility with gentle, evidence-based chiropractic care — plus personalized exercises and stretches you can use at home.
Wishing you a smooth, stress-light week before the holiday!
✨ Stay well, stay moving, and stay kind to your body. ✨
