How do you care for your spine?

Last week, someone asked "How do you care for your spine?"
 


My Answer
I take care of my ENTIRE body!

When considering my spine, I have to consider every part of my body…it’s all connected.
I maintain a balanced body. A body that is strong, flexible, articulate, and functional.
Standing Core and flexibility is attended to on a daily basis.
I utilize Ballet, Yoga, and Pilates based techniques and use sports specific training depending on what my body has been asked to endure.
I perform Slow and controlled SMR at least 3 times a week.
I get massages when possible.
Visit my chiropractor after intense hill training/runs and long days in my kayak.
I keep my body hydrated.
I fuel my body with nutritious and delicious food.
I never take it for granted that my body is the sum of all its parts.
To have a healthy spine, I have to maintain a healthy body.

Runners, please, AVOID the INJURY!

It breaks my heart when I keep hearing runners talk about their chronic issues.
Actually, it really P***es me OFF!
Most of these injuries could have been avoided!

Some of the most overlooked and almost never mentioned reasons why injuries occur in runners is the fact that the majority of runners ignore the necessity to build a proper "foundation for fitness" before they decide to run, and to add insult to injury, many do not give their body a proper warm up and inventory before they begin a run.

I see many runners, once they have been injured, whose injuries could have been avoided 99% of the time.

There is no reason why anyone who runs slower than an 8 minute mile should get injured as long as they have a functionally trained, balanced body.

I encourage runners of all levels to invest 1/3 of their training time to conditioning a balanced and functional body, which means a body that is as strong as it is flexible, whose core has been trained sports specifically (that means standing core work. You don’t run on your back so why would you do your core work while on your back?), and feet that have been conditioned to endure what you will be dishing out to them; another 1/3 to recovery, which includes rest, massage, and inventory, and of course, the other 1/3 to your runs.

Read "Your Feet are Your Foundation" on the importance of "investing in your feet before you invest in your next pair of running shoes".

Stay Tuned for more information on great exercises for conditioning your feet and ankles, and for "WARM UP! How You Do It, When You Do It, is as Important as Your Workout."

Go for the Intensity. Avoid the Injury!

Read Care and Conditioning of Your Feet which gives great examples on why it is important to invest in your feet before you invest in your next pair of running shoes".
