The Olympic Torch visits our North London neighbourhoods and ends up in Alexandra Palace close to Muswell Hill on July 25. With the Olympics just around the corner, the Olympic Torch is due to
make its way from Finchley, in the Borough of Barnet, to Alexandra
Palace, near Muswell Hill on July 25. People in different boroughs will dress in different colours while
the torch travels through their area – and in Haringey the colour is
white. The Torch will pass through some well-known local areas around
Muswell Hill Chiropractic Clinic including Finchley, Frien Barnet,
Southgate, Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill, Edmonton, Tottenham, Wood
Green and Crouch End before winding its way through to Alexandra Palace.
More than 4,000 people are expected to enjoy an Evening Celebration at
Alexandra Palace to round off the day. With such a great sporting event coming to London this summer, it may
encourage more of us to include exercise in our daily lives. While the
benefits of exercise are widely reported many of us struggle to find the
time or sometimes the necessary motivation to do any. If you’ve been struggling to get active, here are some tips for incorporating more activity into your daily life:
The amount of activity you need to do each week depends on your age.
Here’s a useful link to the NHS choices website which will help you work
out what your optimum activity level needs to be. http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/fitness/Pages/Activelifestyle.aspx Remember, if you have a particular condition, before you start any
new exercises, always check with your medical doctor, chiropractor or
other appropriate registered healthcare professional to make sure the
exercises are right for you. At Muswell Hill Chiropractic Clinic, North London we are dedicated to
the Relief of Pain, the Restoration of Health and the Enhancement of
Human Performance. If you are looking for a way to feel better and be
your very best then we are here to help you. Dylan Paydar at Muswell Hill Chiropractic Clinic

Keeping your Back Healthy Over the Bank Holiday Glut
Posted on April 19, 2011 at 11:00 AM |

April 2011
DON’T LET BACK-TO-BACK BANK HOLIDAYS GET THE BETTER OF YOU! - ways to keep your back healthy during the bank holiday glut – Many in London will be rejoicing this spring with a host of Bank
Holidays to look forward to including Easter, the Royal Wedding and May Day all
coming in quick succession and travel agents* are already reporting a surge in
demand for breaks abroad. With Brits keen to maximise the additional free time,
we all need to take heed to avoid the problems that long haul travelling can
have on our backs and overall posture. New market research** commissioned by the British Chiropractic
Association reveals how these concentrated periods of extensive travelling
could take their toll. The new research found that 49%
of the people living in London are currently
experiencing back pain, whilst 62% have suffered from back pain at some point
in their lives. Add this to hours of travelling during the long bank holiday
weekends and we are most definitely gearing toward being a ‘bent out of shape’ nation. For, when it comes to travelling on planes, trains or by car, just under a third (30%) of people
experience stiffness and,more
worryingly, 26% of people admit to
suffering from back pain. It’s not just on planes, with their confined seating positions,
where those travelling need to be careful about their posture. 56% of those
surveyed said that they drove and the car is often the transport mode of choice
for those travelling short, medium and even longer distances when visiting
friends and relatives. In order to enjoy
a more comfortable journey, it is important to adopt a good driving position, particularly
as 18% admit that driving has triggered
their back pain. Rishi
Loatey from the British Chiropractic Association comments:
“With the back-to-back Bank Holidays this Spring, more people will be
travelling which, inevitably, means longer periods of sitting down. Our bodies are not designed to be still for
long periods of time and this can pose a problem when travelling; the increase
in stress on the back through uncomfortable seats, or cramped conditions can
lead to back pain and poor posture”. As it is
inevitable that most of us will be travelling during the Bank Holiday weekends
ahead, make sure you are as prepared as possible and follow these simple
pointers from the BCA (or clinic name here):
The extra leisure time might also mean that you host more get-togethers
with friends and family this Spring. This removes the headache of travelling,
but means that you might be sitting for long periods as you catch up on the
latest news, watch TV or play computer games. Again, the problem of being
inactive for too long can take its toll on the back. There are simple ways to
overcome this though: -
Active group games such as charades
or Twister will keep you active and can be lots of fun! -
Computer games such as those on
the Nintendo Wii or X-Box Kinect are also designed to keep you moving. -
Get involved in a five-a-side
football match or touch rugby game in the local park. Taking time to warm up is a good idea – these activities
can be deceptively vigorous and you may strain cold or under-used muscle
groups! The British Chiropractic Association has
a simple, three minute exercise routine called Straighten Up UK. This can be
incorporated into your daily routine, whether at home or away and can help
strengthen the spine and improve posture. The exercise routine is available to
view on www.chiropractic-uk.co.uk where there is also plenty of practical
advice. *Thomas Cook has put an extra 100,000 sunshine breaks
on sale to meet demand, a third more than usual (March 2011) **BCA research of 2,000 respondents carried out in

Mind Your Posture: Commuting
Posted on March 15, 2011 at 5:00 PM |

Mind Your Posture: Commuting 16 March 2011 Don’t let the daily grind wear you down Hundreds and thousands of us do it each week, whether by train, car,
bus, motorbike, cycle or foot and the daily commute can not only be an
unwelcome source of stress but can also take its toll on our backs.
According to consumer research by the British Chiropractic
Association, almost a third of the working nation relies on public
transport and the journey is not short of stress with 50% left fighting
for seats and only occasionally or rarely sitting down. One in ten
commuters never gets to sit down at all and one in three commuters (32%)
are currently suffering from back pain
So add stress, lack of comfort and lack of seats together and it’s a
potential posture nightmare …. but standing tall could be the best way
to travel; our increasingly sedentary lifestyles mean we spend most of
our working day sitting down, so actually standing (as long as it is
comfortably) is a good way to start and end the day.

Are men being weighed down?

Are men being weighed down?
Dated: 14 March 2011 - The British Chiropractic Association looks into what is weighing men down - The
man bag has been growing in popularity since the rise of the
metrosexual male made famous by the likes of footballers like David
Beckham, model David Gandy, or movie stars like Robert Downey Jr and
Hugh Jackman. As
much as they are a functional fashion accessory, these bags could be
doing harm to your back and shoulders, as men load them up with life’s
daily essentials – from phones to books and computers. With
technology moving towards digital platforms, men need various ways of
accessing the internet world – but this also means carrying more with
them. Gone are the days when a man would leave his home with just his
keys and wallet. Tim Hutchful from the British Chiropractic Association
comments: “Man Bags are now a necessity for many men during their daily
lives, but they could cause back and shoulder pain from prolonged
stress, this can also impact posture. The bags serve a purpose so we
need to become more savvy in how we use them, whilst learning to read
our bodies and know when we’re placing too much pressure on certain
points.” However,
with new advice from the British Chiropractic Association, you
can now stride forward without the man bag pain weighing you down: If
you carry an over-the-shoulder style bag, alternate between both
shoulders so the weight and pressure is distributed equally between
them. It is also advisable to keep the strap as short as possible. IIf
you carry a laptop use a rucksack design laptop case, carry it on both
shoulders and adjust the straps so that the bag is held close to your
back Stand comfortably when carrying your bag. Avoid long periods of being in one position, move around regularly and stretch and exercise your back muscles regularly · Ensure you take regular breaks so that you don’t tire yourself out too soon from fatigue Don’t carry so many items in your bag all the time, only pack what you need
The
single, most important piece of advice f is to take a break
from carrying your bag, and not to carry it from prolonged periods of
time. The BCA has also devised a simple three minute exercise routine
called Straighten Up UK. This can be incorporated into our daily lives
to help strengthen the spine and improve posture. The exercise routine
is available to download from www.straightenupuk.org |
