Chiropractic Care in Oshawa to Keep You Spooktacular: To ensure your well-being while enjoying fall to the fullest, consider these chiropractic care tips:
- Stay in Proper Form: Whether you’re setting up Halloween decorations, tackling yard work, or clearing cobwebs, maintain the correct form to fend off back, neck, and shoulder pain. Keep your spine straight, use your leg muscles when lifting (no bending at the waist!), opt for the right shoes, avoid twisting while lifting, and steer clear of positions that strain your neck.
- Warm-Up Spells: Even for everyday activities like stringing eerie lights or raking leaves, warm-ups are your friends. Gently stretch to prepare your muscles and loosen those limbs, or take a bewitching stroll to boost circulation. This can even help hasten recovery, preventing the ghastly soreness that can follow yard work.
- Take Spooky Breaks: When dealing with extensive yard work, evade overexertion in a single, marathon session. Instead, spread tasks over several days or arrange shorter sessions. And, of course, if you sense sharp discomfort, it’s a cue to rest. Continuing to push through pain can bring about ghostly injuries.
- Stay Active, Even Amidst the Ghostly Chill: Autumn’s chill might tempt you indoors, but remaining active throughout the year is vital. It keeps your joints nimble and your heart in good spirits. Enjoy the mild fall temperatures with activities like a brisk walk, engaging in lively games, or practicing spooky indoor workouts. There’s no need for spine-tingling intense workouts; just focus on keeping your body in motion through various activities, whether at the gym, while conjuring up household chores, or during a yoga session.

At ProHealth Oshawa Physiotherapy & Rehab, our goal is to help you stay ghoulishly healthy and ward off aches and pains as the cold weather rolls in. Here are some otherworldly stretches to keep you nimble:
- Pelvic Tilts: Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Tighten your abdominal muscles and press your lower back into the floor. Hold for a few seconds and then relax. Repeat this eerie exercise 10-15 times.
- Cat-Cow Stretch: Begin on your hands and knees in a tabletop position. Inhale as you arch your back (resembling a cat), looking up. Exhale as you round your back (akin to a cow), tucking your chin to your chest. This helps improve flexibility and can release tension, making it the ideal pre-trick-or-treat exercise.
- Childβs Pose: Start in a kneeling position and sit back onto your heels, stretching your arms forward on the floor. This pose stretches the lower back and can exorcise tension.
