Have you ever considered yoga as a complimentary practice to your chiropractic adjustments?
Movement is key to maintaining optimal health. A gentle form of movement like yoga, can not only help strengthen and lengthen muscles, but also prevents muscle atrophy, creates greater range of motion, and can also improve joint function and bone density as we age.
Much like chiropractic work, yoga aims to help release tension and tightness from the body and facilitate ease of movement. Ondine has been teaching Hatha Yoga for almost 20-years and has a regular weekly class at the Bangalow Uniting Church on Tuesday evenings from 6-7PM. Feel free to check out one of her classes.

How Footwear Impacts Spinal Health
Your footwear plays a crucial role in the overall health of your spine. The shoes you choose can either support proper posture and spinal alignment or contribute to discomfort and misalignments.
High heels, for instance, can place excessive pressure on the lower back and alter the natural curvature of the spine, potentially leading to issues like low back pain and postural imbalances. Conversely, supportive and properly fitted shoes can aid in maintaining a healthy spinal position, reducing the risk of strain and injury.
Understanding the impact of footwear on spinal health empowers you to make informed choices for your well-being. When shopping for shoes, prioritize comfort, arch support, and stability to provide your spine with the care it deserves.
Remember, every step you take can either contribute to a healthy spine or exacerbate existing issues – so choose wisely!
