🗺️ 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐝𝐦𝐚𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 💪

❌ 𝑮𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅. Here’s a simple, sustainable plan you can actually stick with ✅

💜𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – stairs instead of elevators, squat to pick things up, carry groceries in both arms. Small choices add up.
💜𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (2–3x/week) – 20 minutes of squats, push-ups, core or grip training. Using B3 bands? Even faster results with less stress on your joints.
💜 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 70–80% 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲 – challenge yourself, but avoid the burnout and injury zone.
💜 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 – alignment and nervous system balance keep your muscles firing efficiently so every rep counts.
💜 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – store heavy items low or high to lift/reach, play with your kids, climb, run, and move with joy.

🌀 𝑾𝒆𝒆𝒌𝒍𝒚 𝑹𝒉𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒎:

☀️ 2 short strength sessions
☀️ 1 outdoor active play day
☀️ Daily movement habits

Strength isn’t about building bulk—𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 💫 Every squat, every rep, every choice today is an investment in your future self 🔮

🎃 Our Wellspring Chiropractic Lifestyle Center team had a spine-tingling good time celebrating Halloween last week and we couldn’t resist sharing a few photos! 👻🦴

From costumes to laughter, we had a blast celebrating together. Because here at Wellspring, we believe that a healthy spine and a joyful spirit make the best combination! 💜🌿

Just because you can’t do high-impact workouts anymore doesn’t mean there’s no point in exercising. 𝐈𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭, 𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥, 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐞.

A 2020 study in the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy showed that chair-based exercise improves:

✅ Strength
✅ Flexibility
✅ Cardiovascular health
✅ Mental well-being

Try these from your chair:

🪑 Seated marches to get your heart rate up
🪑 Arm raises (with or without weights or resistance bands)
🪑 Ankle circles to keep circulation flowing
🪑 Seated twists to wake up your spine and core

At our clinic, we combine these gentle movements with light-touch chiropractic care to support your nervous system, improve coordination, and help you feel grounded and confident in your body.

A 2021 review in 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝘼𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 found that gentle morning movement routines significantly improved:

✅ Joint comfort
✅ Circulation
✅ Physical function in older adults

Before you get out of bed:

👉 Point & flex your feet to wake up your ankles and calves
👉 Reach your arms overhead, roll your wrists
👉 Gently hug your knees to your chest—great for the lower back

Exercise is not just for losing weight or building muscle.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒐𝒅.

Harvard Medical School confirms: Rhythmic, moderate movement—like walking, stretching, or gentle strength work—triggers the release of:

✨ 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘀 (your natural pain and stress relievers)
✨ 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻 (the mood stabilizer)
✨ 𝗗𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 (the motivation and pleasure chemical)

Movement also stimulates the vagus nerve, which helps calm your nervous system.

Movement doesn’t have to be a “workout” to be therapeutic. It can be a stretch, a sway, or as simple as dancing in your kitchen.

Next time you feel stuck or low, don’t just think your way out—move your way out.

Joy lives in motion. 🤸‍♂️

Strength is not just for young people.

Yes, we naturally lose some muscle after 30, but how much we lose—and how much we can rebuild—depends on how we move. 🏋️‍♂️

After 60, that loss can speed up. It’s called 𝒔𝒂𝒓𝒄𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒂.

👉 However, research shows resistance training can improve strength and muscle mass even into your 90s.

❌ 𝐌𝐲𝐭𝐡: Losing balance is just a normal part of aging.
✅ 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: Balance is a skill. Like strength or flexibility, it can be improved—at any age—with the right kind of movement.

1 in 4 adults over 65 falls each year.

Falls are the #1 cause of injury-related ER visits.

A few minutes a day of balance work can change that.

👉 Single-leg stands while brushing your teeth
👉 Heel-to-toe walking like you’re on a tightrope
👉 Slow, Tai Chi–style turns to improve body awareness

At our clinic, we use light-touch chiropractic care to support your internal balance systems.

When your nervous system is calm and clear, your brain connects better to your feet, hips, and core.

Now is the best time to get started perfecting this skill. 🤸‍♂️

By 50, you’ve already lost bone density, but you probably won’t even realize it…until something breaks. 𝗜𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁, 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 30𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸.

🦴 Bodyweight squats
🦴 Stair climbing
🦴 Carrying groceries
🦴 Resistance bands or light dumbbells

Weight-bearing exercise and resistance training are your best defense against bone loss.

It’s about independence, confidence, and being able to do what you love decades from now.
