Design A Year Of Abundant Health

Bottom Line

Designing a year of abundant health starts with ensuring you're setting SMART goals and taking proactive daily steps to help your body function at its best.

Motion is life. Movement and exercise are the essential foundations to living your best life. Not only does motion help you feel better physically — research also shows daily movement and exercise can help your brain stay sharp and focused.

Why It Matters

Before you can begin a daily exercise routine, you'll want to ensure your spine and joints are moving well. If any of your joints aren't moving properly, it's going to be difficult to move through your entire range of motion safely and painlessly.

Maintaining the following 3 types of movement is key:

• Segmental: The foundation of your spinal motion, describing the motion between each set of bones in your spine.
• Regional: Your spine is divided into four primary regions: cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), lumbar (low back), and sacral (tail bone).
• Whole Body: Combining segmental and regional movements with your extremities.

Next Steps

Abundant health starts with moving well and feeling great. Problems with segmental motion can cascade into regional and whole-body movement issues. If you notice any pain or limitations and you're near Fayetteville, AR, schedule a visit with us today!
