Don’t Sit for Long!

As we age, our spine naturally degenerates, but accelerated degeneration can be brought on through injury or lack of motion. Chiropractic works to both restore and maintain proper spinal motion.

It’s not just our spine that needs to keep moving, but our body as a whole. Sitting for prolonged periods has been shown to shorten one’s life span. Researchers found that the more hours you sit, the shorter you live. Doctors therefore recommend moving around for 1-2 minutes every 30 minutes of sitting in order to prevent the negative effects of sitting.

Attached you will find a mini workout that you can perform a few times a day to keep your blood flowing and your spine healthy. Keep in mind that even walking for just 2 minutes every 30 minutes of sitting will do your body wonders.
