Whether you’re a runner, CrossFitter, yogi, dancer, weight lifter, martial artist, etc., chiropractic boosts athletic performance. One way in which it does so is by making movement easier and more efficient. Joint and soft tissue therapies can help muscles fire correctly, improve range of motion, and prevent injury. At Groove, these therapies are provided by a licensed chiropractor, an expert in the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Despite the challenges presented by our Pacific Northwest weather, Portlanders and Vancouverites are active year-round. Maintaining mobility and symmetry in joints and soft tissues can keep you in the game no matter what the season. Your body isn’t just a tool; it’s your teammate, and Groove Chiropractic helps keep it ready for action.
One way in which chiropractic care positively affects athletic performance is by stimulating the nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments encourages efficient neuromuscular function and reduced muscle stiffness. Improved symmetry of movement in your joints helps you function better. Compare it to aligning and rotating your tires, which decreases uneven wear and tear for your car.
Here are a few of my favorite strategies for preparing my body for exercise:
Hydration: drinking plenty of water and adding electrolytes when doing hot yoga or during hot summer months
Warming up: stretching, active range of motion, engaging my shoulder blades and abs
Sauna for recovery + cold showers for anti-inflammatory effects and mood boost
Getting body care: chiropractic 2x/month, acupuncture weekly, massages every 6 weeks
