You & Olympians: Have Pain, Find Relief, Return to Exercise Year-Round
Everyone needs to exercise. Everybody outght to move. Physical activity is for each and every one of us. Is mountain climbing or marathon running required? Not at all! Walking is superb. Muscle strengthening is superb. Gardening when the season is right is amazing. No gyms are even necessary for the physical activity that will make you feel good. If a knee or back injury occurs – and they do to the best of us! – your New York City chiropractor at Rosenberg Wellness Center is ready to return you to moving with gentle, safe spinal distraction manipulation…and knee distraction for the common issue of knee pain!
EXERCISE IN ANY SEASON
A survey done in Finland in 2017 followed the physical activity participation of 18-64 year olds and 65+ year-olds. Researchers discovered that the 18-64 year olds met the recommended guidelines for physical activity – 42% of men and 39% of women – better than the 65+ year olds – 26% men and 20% women. What were the most popular interests people took part in throughout the year? Cleaning/maintenance work, walking, and stair climbing. What exercises did they do most consistently throughout the year irrespective of age/gender/season? Muscle-strengthening exercises and workout. Swimming, skiing, gardening, jogging, and stair climbing were more age/gender/season dependent. The researchers ultimately came to the conclusion that there are certain conditioning activities people will do. Proposals for physical activity recommendations must incorporate those to encourage the most physical activity possible. (1) What do you like to do?

OLYMPIC EXERCISE
Winter and summer, Olympians move! They are very much like us though their training may be a bit more on the intense side. Elite athletes like the Olympians cope with pain and depression and keep moving. A survey of Olympians from the 1948 to 2018 games found that 32.4% report pain today, and 35.9% report current functional limitations due to their Olympics’ days. Knee (20.6% lasting for a median of 120 days) and lumbar spine (13.1% lasting 100 days) were the top two injuries Olympians experienced in their training days. Depression was reported by 6.6% of them.
