Straighten up Ireland at Gorey Family Chiropractic

It’s Straighten Up Ireland Time again! This is a local voluntary community health service initiative that our clinic participates in with the aim of promoting better posture and reducing back pain and spinal disability in both the young and old.

The Gorey Family Chiropractic Clinic local campaign launch this year took place at Monamolin National School with the fantastic pupils and teachers there. Check out the Gorey Guardian on Tuesday 16th of October for photos and further information…

For any other post primary or primary schools who would like to take advantage of this fantastic voluntary initiative, please get in touch with the practice to arrange an appointment for one of the Gorey Family Chiropractic team to visit your school.

Consisting of a simple exercise programme SUI is an easy and enjoyable everyday program to improve posture and flexibility, stabilise core muscle groups and help prevent spinal disability.  This year, SUI week will be from 15th to 21st October, with World Spine Day on Tuesday 16th October.

The exercises can be undertaken by people of all ages with a special program tailored for children.The exercises can be completed at any time of day but are most beneficial when they form part of a daily routine. It’s hoped that over time everyone in Ireland will take a few minutes every day to care for their spinal health, just as they do for their dental health and reduce back pain as a result.

Studies conducted overseas indicate that 90% of people who adopted the exercises as part of their daily routine reported a postural improvement. Approximately 80% reported that their back pain was more comfortable and that they had better core stability after practicing the activities for several weeks.

There are many national events for Straighten Up Ireland 2012.  For further information contact the Gorey Family Chiropractic Clinic on 053 94 83338 or email info@chiropractor.ie or alternatively check out the Chiropractic Association of Ireland website at www.chiropractic.ie
