25.01.2022 For those of you following, Dr Braxton and his family are now in Yeppoon.

25.01.2022 Figures show that between 30-40% of the elderly adult population suffer from some sort of postural or spinal deformity. If youd like to reduce the likelihood of developing a spinal curvature or difficulty with alignment as you age, then its vital for you to begin addressing any postural difficulties as soon as you can! Optimal postural alignment allows for correct energy flow through the body, causing muscles to return to normal functioning as its ensured they do not have ...to overcompensate for poor posture. This results in improved circulation, faster healing time from injury and illness, and an overall boost in energy levels. http://adjusttolife.com.au/ #getadjusted

25.01.2022 Among the numerous symptoms and effects of poor posture, increased stress and tension has to be one of the most debilitating and frequently observed by chiropractors. This can be due to a number of things, but most often from physical stress being placed on the body due to poor alignment, which translates to soreness and pain, which in turn leads to mental stress. The decreased levels of testosterone caused by poor alignment can also be a factor, as cortisol levels will incr...ease to counteract this. The posturally challenged individual will be left stressed, sad, and unwilling to move the body to shift it! (This may sound extreme, but trust us, weve seen it happen!) In fact, its even possible to build resilience to stress by remembering to sit up straight and commit to a period of proper posture instead of allowing the body to be slouched or hunched throughout the day. http://adjusttolife.com.au/ #getadjusted

24.01.2022 Very few of us are eating enough fruits and veggies. For better health, you want to aim for 5 portions per day! Check out this fruits and vegetables serving sizes from the American Heart Association to make sure youre getting at least 5 portions: https://www.heart.org//add-color/fruits-and-vegetables-ser #LiveWell

23.01.2022 Research shows that youre at greater risk of heart disease if you lack a strong network of friends and family. Loneliness can trigger stress and inflammation, and in otherwise healthy people it can be just as dangerous as having high cholesterol or even smoking. If youre feeling down, reach out and ask for help. Everyone needs human interaction, and we thrive on communication with others - we are social beings after all. Be nice to one another, and reach out to your network... whenever you can. #LiveWell

23.01.2022 There are numerous practices, like yoga and pilates, which are beneficial for your overall alignment, flexibility, and postural health. But what they dont tell you about this kind of exercise is that they are most beneficial only if you enter into them with a certain level of awareness about your existing posture and alignment. Yes, regular practice of yoga CAN positively impact your posture as the spinal muscles become strengthened to support a more upright and erect spine.... But its important to begin these exercises from a place of correct alignment to ensure you dont continue to practice compromise movement patterns. This hugely minimizes the effects of the practices and can actually be more hindering than helpful. Its no wonder that professional athletes are turning to functional movement exercises and yoga practices in their time outside of official training hours. The general basis for this being that the more awareness and understanding of our own physical bodies we have, the more effective any kind of movement exercises will prove. When will you assess your alignment? http://adjusttolife.com.au/ #getadjusted

22.01.2022 Chronic disease is rampant in todays society. Although some of the risk factors for diseases such as genetics are out of your control, healthy lifestyle behaviors can aid in keeping you healthy. To prevent lifestyle-related diseases, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, make sure to eat a balanced diet, participate in daily physical activity, and allow yourself 7-8 hours of sleep each night. ... #LiveWell

21.01.2022 The good news is that unless youre already suffering from an extreme spinal curvature, the effects and symptoms of poor posture can almost ALWAYS be reversed. Its also worth noting that many of these simple exercises can be performed at home after an initial consultation to ensure they are the correct motions for your body. This means that quite often its possible for you to return yourself to optimum health and happiness simply by remembering to prioritize proper alignme...nt throughout your day! Try these simple corrections to optimize alignment: - Sit up straight - Tuck your chin in towards your chest to lengthen the back of the spine - Dont cross your legs when sitting at a desk - this places unnecessary pressure on the lower back muscles and compresses the lumbar spine. What are you waiting for? Start correcting your posture today! http://adjusttolife.com.au/ #getadjusted

18.01.2022 Finding a happy medium when it comes to creating healthy habits is a must! Tweak all the aspects of your life that point you in more of a healthy direction. Start easy by removing some unhealthy foods, working on managing your time to allow for more sleep, and throw a tube of sunscreen in your purse! All these little tweaks will make a world of difference in your life! #LiveWell

18.01.2022 The Problem - Stiff neck and shoulder muscles The Cause - Lack of movement and mobility of the upper body, likely to be experienced by desk workers. The Solution - Moving only the head. Allow the chin to drop down towards the sternum, stretching out the back of the neck. Repeat up to 10 times a day.... Similarly, rounded shoulders are caused by a weakness in the trapezius muscles of the upper back and shoulder blades. To combat this, lie on your belly with the palms facing the floor and the elbows bent at 90-degree angles from the body. Use an inhale breath to lift the entire front of your body from the floor and keep the chin tucked in towards the sternum. What are your most commonly experienced postural complaints? http://adjusttolife.com.au/ #getadjusted

17.01.2022 Welcome to the practice Dr Jason Sparks, joining us next week. He will be looking after you while Dr Braxton is taking time away to caravan around Australia before his children start school. He expects to return to you in late 2021. Having recently moved from Perth WA, Dr Jason is a motivated, passionate and holistic Chiropractor of 7 years that is excited to help you along your health journey. Dr Jason graduated from Murdoch University in 2013 and initially concentrated i...n the field of sports such as crossfit athletes, gymnasts, rugby players and he quickly noticed a greater impact using Chiropractic as a tool to teach the essential requirements for optimal human health and the connection between mind, body and spirit for the patients he cared for and their family. During Dr Jason's free time he helps facilitate men's mental health workshops, volunteers at adjusting the homeless events, supports athletic events and receives invites to give health talks for local businesses. Dr Jason and his wife Chloe (who is a Chiropractic assistant) live a healthy and active lifestyle and love traveling and exploring. They are excited to explore all that Queensland has to offer.

16.01.2022 Healthy living involves more than physical health, it also includes emotional or mental health. The following are some ways in which you can support your mental health and wellbeing: Get enough sleep daily... Take a walk Try new things, often Do some mind exercises (ex. read, do a puzzle occasionally during the week) Make leisure time to do something that interests you Learn ways to say no when you usually say yes Have fun Create a strong network of good friends Seek help early if you feel depressed These are just a few tips to a more mentally healthy you!

16.01.2022 Do you want to reduce fatigue in your everyday life? Believe it or not, fatigue and even depression can be impacted by poor posture! This is because the flow of energy around the body becomes restricted by misaligned joints and closes off the circulation of blood and energy. Youll be amazed at how energized youll feel after just a short time of standing up straight and maintaining proper alignment as you go about your day. Individual bodies will require different kinds of... adjustments and correctional exercises. However, its crucial to see a chiropractic professional when you begin on your journey towards proper postural correction. There are even studies which look at the increase in instances of depression and mental health imbalances as a direct result of poor posture caused by our modern day sedentary and desk-bound lifestyles. What do you think? How do you feel after a day of standing tall? http://adjusttolife.com.au/ #getadjusted

16.01.2022 Keep bones and joints healthy by optimizing your postural alignment! Over time, poor skeletal alignment can result in muscular and joint pain that very often leads to arthritis, scoliosis, osteoporosis, and countless other skeletal issues in older age. The thing with postural alignment is that each body differs considerably, and as such the optimal alignment for one body and skeleton will ultimately be extremely different to the optimal alignment for another. Chiropractic... professionals help to assess individual needs and your bodys unique postural tendencies - whether it is completely out of alignment or could do with some minuscule adjustments to improve. From here they are able to correctly prescribe a course of movement exercises to ensure your posture is returned to its optimal alignment. This is why individual postural alignment consultations are so vital, as just doing exercises you think will improve posture may, in fact, prove damaging for your particular needs. What are you waiting for? Your spine will thank you! http://adjusttolife.com.au/ #getadjusted

15.01.2022 One area of health which postural alignment directly impacts, though you may not initially think it, is our DIGESTION. When we consider digestion and all the required factors to ensure it runs smoothly, it’s unusual to think about our posture and yet it may just be the most important factor of all. For digestion to function as desired at all, it’s vital that the organs in the digestive system remain aligned correctly. Poor posture like slouching, standing with the hips drawn ...forwards, and even just sitting for too long every day, all have direct impacts on our digestive system. This will cause not only a slowing down of the metabolism but also creates a more complex system for the body to navigate food through in order to pass waste. This, in turn, hinders the absorption of nutrients from food, and we’re left with an increased likelihood of nutritional deficiency and gastrointestinal disorders like IBS. In order to improve and maximize the efficiency of our digestive system, we must first prioritize our alignment. Improved digestion is just one of the things you can expect from beginning a path towards optimal postural alignment. http://adjusttolife.com.au/ #getadjusted

15.01.2022 Physical activity and exercise are major contributors to a healthy lifestyle. People are made to use their bodies, and inactivity may manifest itself in obesity, weakness, lack of endurance, and overall poor health that may foster disease development.

08.01.2022 Take the following self-checks in the mirror to do a quick self-analysis of your posture: 1. Take a side body photo and a front-view photo of yourself. 2. One the side body photo, check to see if your ear is in front of the midpoint of your shoulder. If so, it’s likely your head is too far forwards.... 3. In the front photo check to see if one shoulder is higher than the other. 4. Also, check if your feet turn out more than 10 degrees to either side. These are just some of the seemingly minuscule alignment issues which can result in bigger problems down the line if not addressed in the early days of misalignment. As always, make sure to seek professional opinion when beginning a course of exercises or correctional movements! http://adjusttolife.com.au/ #getadjusted

06.01.2022 Did you know the link between your lung capacity and proper spinal alignment? Just as the digestive and circulatory systems benefit from improved posture and alignment, so too does the respiratory system. Pressure on the lungs stemming from hunched shoulders and spinal curvatures means that we become accustomed to breathing in a way which inhibits our lungs from taking in their full breath capacity. Most people only breath to about 30% our their lung capacity - imagine how w...e would feel if we started to breathe like this all of the time? By first attending to the alignment of the structural body, the organs, and systems surrounding it can then gradually fall back into place and start functioning to the height of their capacity. You’ll be able to take and maintain a deeper breath pattern which will directly impact energy levels and circulatory health, too! It’s all interconnected - start with your alignment! http://adjusttolife.com.au/ #getadjusted

06.01.2022 Yes! Screen time can be physically harmful to your health. Being in front of a screen is almost always sedentary behavior. Because of this, it correlates with things like lower fitness levels and undesirable body composition. You can turn this around by limiting your daily screen time....

01.01.2022 Everyone knows smoking is bad for your health, but sometimes knowing isnt enough to make you stop. Set a date for quitting and tell as many people as possible to help hold you accountable for your actions. It's best to pick a day within the next month - a date too far off in the future will give you a chance to procrastinate and postpone, while a time too soon may not allow you to make a plan for medications or support systems. Notice when and why you smoke. Try to find the... things in your daily life that you often do while smoking (such as drinking your morning cup of coffee or driving a car). Change your smoking routines: Keep your cigarettes in a different place smoke with your other hand. Take these steps toward a healthier you!
