New… Spring is coming with its warm days and cool nights. Our minds are turning towards longer days in the garden or out and about. It may also be turning to shedding that winter weight and improving our overall fitness. Just remember to take it slow and build up to your goals. Don’t jump into the deep end without learning how to swim, so to speak. We usually see an increase in activity as the weather improves and with this can lead to injuries. So, come in and get a massage and ‘wake-up’ your dormant winter body to get out there and be active. Whether it is getting into the garden that’s about to get into its spring flush or you’re starting on a new workout program and need to loosen up your body. A massage can do wonders in revitalising your body just as much as the warmer weather will do for your soul.

While this is good for the environment, incorrectly carrying heavy buckets is not good for your spinal health. Carrying water buckets is an issue not only because of the weight carried, but also because water is an unstable weight, putting uneven stress on one side of the body. A common gardening bucket holds ten litres, which when filled equates to ten kilograms. This weight is too heavy to manage for many people. It is possible to be environmentally conscious without bending over backwards! Tips to follow when carrying and lifting water buckets Bend your knees—never bend your back Only carry what is necessary—do not overfill your bucket Use two smaller buckets (one in each hand) to disperse www.chiropractors.asn.au Orange Chiropractic Centre Spring 2014 Newsletter 3 SHARE THIS NEWSLETTER WITH A FRIEND 38 Forbes Road ORANGE NSW 2800 Phone: (02) 6362 1288 Fax: (02) 6363 1860 Email [email protected] Take a Minute to - Website www.orangechiro.com.au 64 Lachlan Street FORBES NSW 2871 (02) 6852 3554 All day Wednesday 9am-6pm (Closed for lunch between 1-2pm) Look at your Goals Look at your Performance See if your Behaviour matches your Goals WANTED YOUR FEET Don’t forget to make an appointment to have your feet scanned for custom made spinal pelvic stabilisers foot levellers.
