This may sound crazy… bear with me….

The cure for your back pain may be in your foot.

As a life by design chiropractor, I’m always on the lookout for the Core Problems that create dysfunction in the body.

And one thing I’ve learned in the process of helping hundreds of families get their health on track is that YOUR problem isn’t always THE problem. Kinda like how if you step on a dog’s tail, it barks, but that doesn’t mean the problem is its mouth.

Believe it or not, strength training over 40 becomes more important, not less the older you get.

Not only is it essential for day to day activities, such as getting on and off the toilet, but strength and flexibility are strong indicators of life expectancy, as demonstrated by this study.

For those of you who know me this is likely to come as quite a surprise…

Mostly because I own a gym…

And also because I’ve been going to the gym since I was about 13 years old and likely haven’t missed more than dozen workouts in the last 25 years (even when I broke my foot I used to put a stationary bike up on a table, sit on a chair and ‘ride the bike’ with my arms… it sucked but it helped keep me in shape while my foot healed.)

The fitness industry has evolved a lot in the last couple decades… constantly innovating new and different ways to “lose weight faster than ever!” and best of all it will “only take 10 minutes a day!”.

In today’s fast paced society, people are constantly seeking the best results in the shortest amount of time with as little effort as possible resulting in multiple shortcuts that compromise form for gains.
