Pain or problems in the spine (neck, back or pelvis) are some of the most common conditions affecting people today. One of the most effective ways to prevent these issues is by learning more about our spine and keeping it healthy. Helping people maintain spinal health has always been on the forefront of our efforts when it comes to serving people in Adelaide.
Our physios from the Adelaide clinic conducted a combined educational and charity event focused on spinal health and flexibility that was available to all health practitioners and the public.
The event consisted of a one hour yoga session and a one hour Strength and Flexibility session. Both sessions focused on improving spinal flexibility as well as core strength and balance through a series of stretches and poses instructed by our physios. The sessions also worked on developing breathing control and creating an inner stillness.
The sessions were designed in such a way that they would be suitable for all with basic to advanced abilities. Any prior medical history was also taken into account by our physios as they ran the event, demonstrating and explaining exercises that could be beneficial for people with a range of conditions or those just looking to keep fit.
In addition to the exercises Mukul explained the interactions between your back and the rest of the body. He covered issues of the spine, posture and muscle and joint interaction that can cause pain, as well as methods of preventing this pain. The exercises and information gave participants a take-home method to help their own bodies function better.
The event was a success and participants also donated to the Spinal Research Institute and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute.
