When walking up and down a mountain with weight on your back, it’s almost inevitable to end up with a sore and stiff body. Dr. Beck recommends a trail break every 3-4 hours to snack and stretch and another longer stretch session once you reach camp for the night. Here are some stretches to keep your body in hiking shape on the trail.
Given that people are spending about five hours a day on their smartphones – it’s no surprise we are seeing a lot of patients come in with what we call “Tech Neck”. It’s a result of looking at their devices with their neck and head facing down. This type of posture creates a lot of stress on the neck, upper back, and shoulders.
As we pass the one-year mark of the COVID-19 pandemic, we reflect on all the changes this last 13 months has thrown our way. As chiropractors, we are seeing changes as well. Those changes come in the issues our patients are experiencing. In this blog, I want to share with you the musculoskeletal issues that arise from work from home and how Parkside Clinic is Southeast Portland is your chiropractor of choice.
Before we opened the doors to Parkside Clinic, I had a vision that we would be a community resource. Our patients would come to Parkside and experience excellent clinical chiropractic care and massage therapy. Central to our clinic is my passion for working with people and doing my best to help them. This is woven into practices. Now that we have been open for almost 13 years, I am able to look around and see that Parkside is a place where we welcome all, treat everyone with respect, and achieve good clinical outcomes.
