Hello !
We hope you've been out enjoying the weather and getting back into full swing with spring activities.
Earlier this month, Dr. Fu attended the National Convention & Tradeshow, hosted by the Canadian Chiropractic Association, and it was held in Halifax!⚓
With thousands of chiropractors across Canada attending, it was great to participate in meaningful conversations, like the integration of Chiropractors into mainstream medical care and how we are extremely equipped to assist with the current demands on the healthcare system today.
Dr. Fu attended as a member of the Women's Chiropractic Caucus, a group of female chiropractors dedicated to help women thrive in their careers and also, to advocate for women's unique neuromusculoskeletal (NMSK) health issues across Canada.💪🏽Check out this reel to support!
Captivated by the East Coast charm, here are some highlights from the rest of the trip!🛟
Stretch of the Month: Hip Flexors🤸♂️
Did you know that lower back pain is usually highly linked to tight hips?
That's why I want to focus on the hip flexor stretch! My go-to stretch especially if you sit all day at a desk or drive for long periods of time (Got to love Toronto traffic!).
Setting up:
- Lie on your back with knees bent and feet on the mat.
- Pull the right knee to your chest. Straighten the other leg to a hover.
- Breath and hold for 8 seconds.
- Repeat on other side, up to 3 times per side.
Common Tips:
- Keep shoulders and neck relaxed during the stretch.
- If hips are too limited, bend the straight leg with the foot on the mat.
- Engage the quads for a deeper release.
For the full exercise program, check out Dr. Fu's Youtube channel to more! (Psst..It'll take less than 4 minutes!)
