You & Olympians: Have Pain, Find Relief, Return to Exercise Year-Round

Everyone ought to exercise. Everyone outght to move. Physical activity is for each and every one of us. Is 5K running or rappelling up a cliff necessary? Not at all! Walking is superb. Muscle strengthening is just right. Gardening when the season is suitable is amazing. No gyms are even necessary for the physical activity that will keep you feeling good. If a knee or back injury occurs – and they happen to the best of us! – your Manchester chiropractor at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is ready to get you back to moving with gentle, safe spinal distraction manipulation…and knee distraction for the familiar matter of knee pain!

EXERCISE IN ANY SEASON

A survey conducted in Finland in 2017 followed the physical activity participation of 18-64 year olds and 65+ year-olds. Researchers found that the 18-64 year olds met the recommended guidelines for physical activity – 42% of men and 39% of women – better than the 65+ year olds – 26% men and 20% women. What were the most popular activities people did throughout the year? Cleaning/maintenance work, walking, and stair climbing. What exercises did they perform most consistently all year irrespective of age/gender/season? Muscle-strengthening exercises and workout. Swimming, skiing, gardening, jogging, and stair climbing were more age/gender/season dependent. The researchers finally came to the conclusion that there are particular conditioning activities people will do. Proposals for physical activity recommendations must use those to encourage the most physical activity possible. (1) What do you like to do?

OLYMPIC EXERCISE

Winter and summer, Olympians move! They’re very much like us though their training may be a bit more on the intense side. Elite athletes like the Olympians cope with pain and depression and keep going. A survey of Olympians from the 1948 to 2018 games revealed that 32.4% describe current pain, and 35.9% report current functional limitations due to their Olympics’ days. Knee (20.6% lasting for a median of 120 days) and lumbar spine (13.1% continuing for 100 days) were the top two injuries Olympians experienced in their training days. Depression was recounted by 6.6% of them.
