MORE MOVEMENT, MORE ENERGY Give Yourself a Healthy Boost!
Increase Your Energy By Getting Up and Moving Today! Do you feel sluggish or fatigued, as if it’s difficult to motivate yourself to get moving? Do your sore muscles or achy joints just add to that lack of motivation? If so, your body may be experiencing some physical problems. Living a sedentary life is one of the main reasonswhy people report having low energy or feeling chronic day-to- day aches. Long car commutes, desk jobs, watching T.V. once you get home from work… many people live their lives this way, with very little physical activity. While it may not seem like it is making an impact at the time, this type of sedentary lifestyle can damage your body over time. A consistent exercise plan can increase your energy and help you live a healthier life! Why is Physical Activity So Important? When you don’t participate in frequent physical activity, your muscles begin to weaken and over time they can even begin to atrophy. Inactive lifestyles also cause joints to become stiff and can alter the physiological chemical processes within your body. In fact, your circulation and lymphatic systems can slow down, which can pose harmful risks. These systems work in producing and excreting toxic wastes (such as cholesterol) and these wastes can build up when the systems
aren’t functioning as efficiently as they should. Lack of movement and poor posture are the causes of several types of pain, including lower back pain, neck pain, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. A slumped posture can even change the shape of your spine over time, in addition to closing your shoulder joints and tightening up the tissues around your hips. These consequences can cause severe pain and may result in a host of other problems if lifestyle changes are not made. How Can I Get Moving? There is one fundamental rule of the human body: it was made to move! There are several reasons why people may not want to participate in physical activity. Perhaps your body simply doesn’t move the way it used to, or perhaps painful areas of your body make it difficult to move in the ways you’d like. Whatever the case may be, the truth is that restriction in movement has the potential to lead to harmful health problems. Some easy pain-relief and energy- boosting steps you can take on your own include: 1. Decide to get up and get moving. 2. Get up from your chair every 20 minutes and walk around, even if
it is just for a few seconds. 3. Walk or exercise at least 30 minutes every day. 4. Drink plenty of water. 5. Stretch your legs, hips, spine, and neck for 10 minutes every day. 6. Don’t push yourself too far if you feel pain. 7. Make sure you are sitting properly at your desk or computer. 8. Take frequent breaks for breathing exercises. Inhale and exhale deeply. 9. Stretch your arms overhead frequently throughout the day. 10. Do strengthening exercises 2-3 times per week. In order to be healthy, there needs to be a large emphasis on movement. When your body is flexible, strong, well-balanced, and fueled by a nutritious diet, it is able to perform at its optimal levels. At Kinetesis Spine & Joint Clinic, we are dedicated to helping you live the best life you can, and our movement experts would be more than happy to help you relieve your pain, re-align your body, and get moving once again. If you are looking for assistance in living a more physically active life, contact us today!

HEALTHY TIP FOR ROTATOR CUFF MUSCLES This is one of the micro-exercises Cecelia has developed to help patients with shoulder mobility. With micro-exercises out-loud self-talk is included, and this exercise is no exception. “Pat on the Back”
IS PHYSIOYOGA FOR YOU? • Are you recovering from an injury? • Have a nagging condition that needs some attention and specific exercises to get stronger and moving with more ease? • Do you want to lower your stress and slow down? PhysioYoga may be PERFECT for you! This approach combines the knowledge, experience and exercises from a physiotherapist with yoga poses and principles. PhysioYoga is movement, strengthening, posture, flexibility and breathing under the supervision and guidance of a physiotherapist and yoga teacher. An assessment is required first to get to know you and your medical history, understand your goals and how you are moving. Props - like bands, blocks, belts, a chair, etc – are commonly used and encouraged to find versions of poses that work for your body. We can work together one on one to create a plan to meet your needs or you can join a group PhysioYoga class. Summer PhysioYoga class schedule starts July 2, 2019, led by Stephanie McCarville, Physiotherapist & Yoga Teacher . Call the Fall River clinic to book an assessment or visit www.physioflowyoga.ca for more details. While you are doing this exercise you benefit fromgreat rotator cuff engagement and the opportunity to say something nice to yourself. I like teaching people to talk out-loud to themselves to create new brain synapses associated with self-kindness. Saying something nice (a compliment) while doing this pat on the back exercise reinforces the good benefit of the exercise and releases feel good hormones. Things to try are: “Way to go (your name here) you’re doing a good rotator cuff exercise.” (Sometimes I say things like: “Way to go Cecelia, you made yourself a good cup of tea.”) What you say isn’t that important as long as you are kind to yourself. Enjoy!! By Cecelia Driscoll, RMT
Using the same hand and same shoulder reach overhead (in your pain-free range-of-motion) and pat your back (or as close as you can get; you can pat in the air and visualize that your hand is on your back) .

Fascial Stretch Therapy Fascial Stretch Therapy, also known as FST, is a complete system of stretching based on the most recent research and clinical findings on fascia. It is done by a certified therapist on a treatment table using comfortable straps to ensure the client is relaxed and supported. FSTmobilizes the body’s soft tissue and joints in a pain free way, improving overall flexibility and decreasing muscle tension. It can also improve movement patterns, posture, and circulation. FST was designed to maximize flexibility and athletic performance in professional athletes but it is also highly effective in restoring or improving mobility after injury. Plus, it just feels good! To find out more about our Fascial StretchTherapy, visit our website at: kinetesisspineandjoint.ca/techniques/fascial- stretch-therapy, or call our clinic nearest you to schedule a free consultation to see if FST is right for you.
