Summer is the perfect time to embrace the outdoors - whether you're bikING, swimING, campING, hikeING, kayakING, walkING, runING, golfING. But all that movement can take a toll on your body if your spine and joints aren't in top shape. At Uptown Chiropractic, we're here to help you move better, feel stronger and enjoy every moment summer has to offer. 

Try these tips to stay aligned and active:

Biking - Adjust your seat and handlebars to support good posture and reduce neck and lower back strain.
Swimming - Warm up your shoulders and stretch before diving in to prevent rotator cuff stress.
Camping - Use a supportive sleeping mat or pillow to protect your spine while sleeping on the ground.
Hiking - Wear proper footwear and use trekking poles to reduce pressure on knees and hips.
Kayaking - Keep your core engaged and switch paddling sides often to avoid back and shoulder fatigue.
Walking/Running - Stretch calves, hamstrings and glutes, especially if you are running longer distances.
Golfing - Loosen up with spinal twists and hip stretches before your game to improve swing motion.

Don't let the pain hold you back this summer. Schedule your summer tune-up today at Uptown Chiropractic!
