You & Olympians: Have Pain, Find Relief, Return to Exercise Year-Round
Everyone needs to exercise. Everybody outght to move. Physical activity is for all of us. Is mountain climbing or marathon running necessary? Nope! Walking is terrific. Muscle strengthening is superb. Gardening when the season is suitable is amazing. No gyms are even necessary for the physical activity that will make you feel good. If a knee or back injury happens – and they do to the best of us! – your Fort Wayne chiropractor at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is ready to return you to moving with gentle, safe spinal distraction manipulation…and knee distraction for the common issue of knee pain!
EXERCISE IN ANY SEASON
A study done in Finland in 2017 traced the physical activity participation of 18-64 year olds and 65+ year-olds. Researchers found that the 18-64 year olds achieved the recommended guidelines for physical activity – 42% of men and 39% of women – better than the 65+ year olds – 26% men and 20% women. What were the most popular interests people did throughout the year? Cleaning/maintenance work, walking, and stair climbing. What exercises did they perform most consistently throughout the year regardless of age/gender/season? Muscle-strengthening exercises and workout. Swimming, skiing, gardening, jogging, and stair climbing were more age/gender/season dependent. The researchers finally came to the conclusion that there are particular conditioning activities people will do. Suggestions for physical activity recommendations must incorporate those to encourage the most physical activity possible. (1) What do you like to do? Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is confident our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients and their families can find exercises to do any time of year!

OLYMPIC EXERCISE
Winter and summer, Olympians move! They are very much like us though their training may be a bit more intense. Elite athletes like the Olympians deal with pain and depression and keep going. A study of Olympians from the 1948 to 2018 games revealed that 32.4% describe pain today, and 35.9% have functional limitations they connect to their Olympics’ days. Knee (20.6% lasting for a median of 120 days) and lumbar spine (13.1% continuing for 100 days) were the top two injuries Olympians suffered in their training days. Depression was reported by 6.6% of them.
