Kia Ora F45 Hillsborough!

I wanted to invite you all to an Open Gym & Spinal Check this Sunday.

I am now able to share chiropractic with my F45 family, taking bookings at my college from June 22! So, I'd like to welcome any members interested in getting a spinal check this Sunday, in a relaxed open-gym environment, without the rush of offering spinal checks between classes during the busy work week.

Shamz and Min are generously providing access to their gym for us on Sunday, so you're welcome to use the equipment and tunes! (I will likely put up a workout on a whiteboard using the available equipment for those wanting some direction), which gives you the opportunity to get a lift in, have a chat, and a spinal check if you'd like.

Regarding Chiropractic, if you are looking to improve your function and performance, or simply curious about what a spinal check involves, I'd love the opportunity to meet with you Sunday and answer any questions you may have.

Feel free to drop in at any time between 12-3pm, get a lift in, and say hello. I look forward to seeing you there!

Hello everyone! I am a 4th year student interning at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, and as of July I will be looking to provide care to the public!

The benefits of coming to NZCC Center and seeing me for your care, is you will receive a very thorough 2 hour new patient exam. I will also review your care plan with a Chiropractic mentor, who holds decades of experience to ensure you get the best care possible.

AND

The cost of chiropractic care with a student intern is about half the cost of typical chiropractic appointments. So, if you are hesitant to try chiropractic, then our chiropractic intern rates will feel so much easier to commit to!

Looking forward to seeing you!

Are you always tight and sore in specific points of your body?

If you feel tightness or pulling on the front of your hips after standing from sitting (office/driving jobs),
And/or low back pain and a forward tilted pelvis, you likely have tight hip flexors.

If so, stretching and strengthening the hip flexors can help!

Here is another video of stretching them out. By placing a resistance band behind my upper thigh and allowing it to pull my hip forward, I am able to target those tight hip flexors. These stretches can be held for 6 second holds prior to performance/exercise, or held for more prolonged 15-30sec periods on their own or after exercise.

Back to the Basics: Hinging.

For people who are new to exercise and lifting weight, or who experience back pain when bending forward/lifting weight, checking to see if your hinge form is competent should be one of your top priorities.

How to test: Using a straight object like a hockey stick or a broom, ensure three points of contact throughout the bending movement.
The three points of contact should be at your sacrum/butt, between your shoulder blades, and back of your head. .dylanewen uses this 3-point contact method specifically and shared with me and is a great method to use.

Why the hinge is important:
Keeping your back straight or “neutral”and bending or “hinging” at the hip allows the muscles in your back to protect your spine from unwanted pain -causing movement between vertebrae.

Competent hinge form will help protect your low back from injury and allow forward bending, especially while holding weight.
