World Spine Day 2021
Saturday 16th October
This years message is #backtoback, getting back on track with your Spinal Health.
We are encouraging patients and the wider community to ‘straighten up’, ‘just start walking’ and ‘find a chiro’.
Our mission is to help empower YOU to take charge of your spinal health.
Did you know that at any given moment, an estimated 540 million people suffer from lower back pain globally?
Or that four million Australians suffer from back problems every year?
World Spine Day aims to recognise that spinal pain is part of the ‘global burden of disease’ and
that many under-served communities lack access,
or worse, have no access to quality spinal care.
With so many of us working and learning from home, it is now more important than ever,
to get outside and stretch those legs! The Department of Health recommends
a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity each week.
Walking not only increases heart and lung fitness; but contributes to a naturally upright posture
Three ways to improve spinal health:
- Gentle Stretching
- Brisk Walking
- Avoid Physical Inactivity
- Complete the ‘Straighten Up’ Exercises on the app
