Mobility vs Stability Think of each joint sitting somewhere on a sliding scale between stability and mobility. Each joint should have an ideal amount of both stability and mobility to function properly. Too much of one means not enough of the other and can cause pain or injury. ... A very mobile joint can lack in stability and can therefore be at risk for injury where as a very stable joint that is lacking mobility can feel stiff and painful. Wondering if you have a joint that is not sitting in the middle of the sliding scale? Get assessed by an Athletic Therapist and take a proactive approach to your health

Comment a if you take #melatonin Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone, which is secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. As melatonin levels rise in the evening, it puts your body into a state that promotes sleep.... This supplement is often used for mitigating jetlag and helping with sleep issues like insomnia. Short term use has been shown to be helpful with minimal side effects; however, less information is available about its long-term safety. Many people turn to melatonin for chronic or occasional insomnia and experience mixed results. Often this is because: they use it too frequently take higher-than-necessary doses don’t time it properly If you train your body to think you need a supplement to sleep then this can create reliance on continuous supplementation as well as it can make it harder for you to sleep when you do not take it Like with pain and injury therapy, we do not want you to be dependent on external treatments. You are a fine tuned machine We want to create awareness and opportunity to understand your body while preventing management tools being mistaken for solutions. That being said, there are times where melatonin supplementation is appropriate. It is important to have a discussion with your doctor, especially if you find you are leaning to supplementation more often. Most people’s bodies produce enough melatonin for sleep on their own. However, there are steps you can take to make the most of your natural melatonin production. Check out our posts on sleep and how you can optimize your environment. Speak to a health care practitioner if you feel dependant on melatonin Comment a if you take melatonin
