New meal of the week which is a Turkey Burger in a mushroom bun.
This is a great healthy alternative to a normal burger that takes 20min prep and tastes brilliant! Try it this week!
The quick and easy answer is well before they look like these old trainers of mine. However there are more subtle signs before you get to this stage.
however generally you need to decide if the shoe is either not offering you support or if it starts creating asymmetries in running style between side to side.
Enjoy your running and look after your feet
How do you lift properly? This is a common question and the answer is not simply “bend your knees”.
There are many ways to lift properly when you don’t put pressure and strain on your low back. The aim is to keep your back straight, not bend forward and to over arch when your lifting. The golfers lift, as seen here, is used in times when you are picking up a light item with one hand. EG a golf ball, a child’s shoe or your handbag.
By lifting your non-weight bearing leg behind you, you can counter balance the load that you are picking up. This then equally loads the low back as you are lifting.
As you stand up straight, activate your core by keeping your tummy tight, then bring the back leg back into neutral and regain and neutral stance.
Tiger Woods should not be the only one using the golfers lift. Your will find it an easy way to lift light objects whilst protecting your back.
Use the Golfers lift well however if you feel any pain then book in for a free consultation to see one of our Chiropractors

Ever notice your head leaning closer to the computer screen, windscreen or looking directly downwards at your phone?
Take a look at what it does to your spine!
Sitting is the new SMOKING and everybody appears to know they sit too long but don’t know what it does.
Firstly we turn off all our abdominal muscles and core stabilisers. We turn them off and decondition them so that when we need stabilisation to move and lift etc they are not what they should be.
Secondly we hunch forward and create a forward curve in our upper back and neck. We lean our heads towards the computer and put stress on our necks and shoulders.
One more (of many) we reduce the flexibility of our hips putting them in a bent position all day which in turns leans to poor movement in walking and standing upright.
There are many problems which sitting can cause beyond the physical….. and I haven’t even discussed the lack of movement to your heart. However get up and away from your desk every 20-30 minutes and move. Get some water or simply walk as this will improve the stability of you low back and neck.
Lastly check your work station for proper set up and then get you spine checked at Core Chiropractic to assess its health.
Have a great day!
