PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD
Just Start Walking launches National Chiropractic Care Week (23-29 May)
Camberley, Surrey residents are being encouraged to put their best foot forward and start walking for their wellbeing during National Chiropractic Care Week, 23-29 May.
Launching the Just Start Walking initiative in Camberley, Surrey, local chiropractor Lara Cawthra said while we are living in more mobile times thanks to portable technology, physically we are less active.
“The human body is designed for movement, so to keep your spine at its best we need to stay active – it’s time to lace up the sneakers and quite simply, just start walking,” she said.
Coinciding with the launch is National Chiropractic Care Week, which Hands on Health, Camberley Chiropractor will be using to highlight the importance of posture and mobility on our overall health and wellbeing.
Hands on Health Family Chiropractor will launch the Just Start Walking Campaign at the Surrey Heath Show on Saturday 20th April. At the show you will be able to pick up some information about the programme, find out how to download the app to your phone to get started and have a FREE back assessment.
Lara Cawthra said an active spine is a healthy spine and a healthy spine leads to a healthier life.
“What better way to encourage people to stay active than through walking – it’s simple, inexpensive, achievable and easy,” she] said.
“Your overall health can be affected by the health of your spine so National Chiropractic Care Week is a prompt to make an appointment with your local CAA chiropractor to assess your spinal health and incorporate some more regular activity into your lifestyle,” she said.
“Regular, moderate activity – such as walking – has been shown to improve posture and overall health, as well as reduce the risk of a wide range of common health complaints.”
Chiropractors are experts at analysing posture and spinal problems; with five year university training they can provide expert care, exercises and lifestyle advice.
The Just Start Walking initiative is designed to raise awareness about the importance of keeping active, the benefits this can offer to your overall wellbeing and spinal health, as well as providing an easy-to-use program to encourage regular physical activity.
