Happy World Spine Day! Today has become a day focused on raising awareness of back pain and other spinal issues. Did you know that low back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide? And most cases are due to MECHANICAL issues rather than a serious condition? In other words, it is a biomechanical disorder that can be prevented. Think about your back before it hurts! A lack of pain does not mean everything is working properly. #loveyourspine friends

January has not only brought us bundles of snow , but has also brought us the cold weather. When it gets cold outside, we struggle to get out there and stay active. There are multiple ways to stay active in the winter. I personally enjoy skiing, hiking and running. I also bring my workouts indoors either at the Alexandria Dome, or just at home! Here are a few tips to help keep you active: -Dress appropriately- layers, proper boots, mittens and hats are key! -Use daylig...ht hours- days are still short, but it’s so much easier to stay outside when it’s light! -Find an activity buddy!
