Fun Fact Friday: Black Friday began with Philadelphia police describing the chaotic day after Thanksgiving as "Black Friday" due to traffic and crowds. The term was later adopted by retailers to signify when businesses moved "into the black" (profitable) on their ledgers.

Stay Aligned This Thanksgiving: Simple Tips for a Comfortable Holiday
Thanksgiving brings full schedules, road trips, and long hours on your feet in the kitchen. Add heavy meals and couch time, and it’s easy to feel stiff or sore. At Grant Family Chiropractic, we help you keep moving well so you can enjoy the season—without the post-holiday aches.

Travel Smart (Car, Plane, Train)
Break up sitting: Aim to stand, stretch, and walk for 2-3 minutes every hour.
Support your spine: Roll up a small towel for low-back support; keep hips level and shoulders relaxed.
Pack a “micro-mobility” kit: Mini massage ball + resistance band = quick relief at rest stops and gates.
Kitchen Prep Without the Backache
Counter stance: Keep one foot on a low stool and switch sides often to reduce lumbar strain.
Hinge, don’t hunch: When lifting pans or turkeys, bend at hips and knees and keep items close to your body.
Quick reset: Every 30-45 minutes, do 5-8 gentle hip hinges and 10 shoulder rolls.
Game Day, Couch Day—Still Move
Commercial break circuit: 10 air squats, 10 calf raises, 10 wall pushups.
Floor > sofa (sometimes): Sitting on the floor encourages better posture and frequent position changes.
Hydrate: Water supports joints and helps combat that heavy, sluggish feeling.
Manage “Post-Feast” Stiffness
Walk it out: A 10-15 minute walk after meals supports digestion and eases joint stiffness.
Gentle mobility: Cat-cow, thoracic rotations, and ankle circles help everything feel looser.
Sleep setup: A pillow between the knees (side sleepers) or under the knees (back sleepers) can reduce strain.
Don’t Forget to Visit Us!
Regular visits help keep joints moving well and your nervous system functioning at its best. Many people report fewer flare-ups, better range of motion, and easier recovery from long travel or busy cooking days when they stay consistent with care.

Book Before the Rush Begins
Holiday weeks fill quickly. Schedule your pre-Thanksgiving adjustment at Grant Family Chiropractic so you can travel, cook, and celebrate feeling your best.

Fun Fact Friday: Crows often hold grudges against specific people. Research shows they can recognize individual human faces associated with negative experiences. They can remember these "offenders" for years and even pass the information down to their offspring, creating generational grudges. This behavior demonstrates their strong memories and capacity for social learning.

Wellness Wednesdays: It's getting cooler out which tends to drive us inside. But even a quick walk outside on a cool day has health benefits! A brisk walk in the cool air helps with both physical and mental health, including boosting your immune system, improving cardiovascular health, and reducing stress. It also increases calorie burn as your body works to stay warm and can improve mood and mental clarity.
