Gardening weather is finally here! Although we are invigorated by the warmth, gardening can provide a great workout but with all of the bending, twisting, reaching and pulling, your body may not be ready for these better home and garden activities.
Just remember gardening is a full-time summer activity and to use these warms ups before any full landscape session to avoid blooming back pain.
Begin With Stretching!
To enjoy gardening fully it is important to stretch your muscles before reaching for your gardening tools. The back, upper legs, shoulders, and wrists are all major muscle groups affected when using your green thumb.
“A period of warm-up and cool-down is as important in gardening as it is for any other physical activity,” said Dr. Scott Bautch of the American Chiropractic Association’s (ACA) Council on Occupational Health. “Performing simple stretches during these periods will help alleviate injuries, pain, and stiffness.”
Following these simple stretches will help to alleviate muscle pain after a day spent in your garden.
Great Garden Stretches
- Before stretching for any activity, breathe in and out, slowly and rhythmically; do not bounce or jerk your body, and stretch as far and as comfortably as you can. Do not follow the no pain, no gain rule. Stretching should not be painful. Begin your stretch by sitting and prop your heel on a stool or step, keeping the knees straight. Lean forward until you feel a stretch in the back of the thigh or the hamstring muscle. Hold this position for 15 seconds. Do this once more and repeat with the other leg.
- Stand up, balance yourself, and grab the front of your ankle from behind. Pull your heel towards your buttocks and hold the position for 15 seconds. Do this again and repeat with the other leg.
- While standing, weave your fingers together above your head with the palms up. Lean to one side for 10 seconds, then to the other. Repeat this stretch three times.
- Do the “Hug your best friend.” Wrap your arms around yourself and rotate to one side, stretching as far as you can comfortably go. Hold for 10 seconds and reverse. Repeat two or three times.
Finally, be aware of your body technique, body form and correct posture while gardening. Kneel, don’t bend and alternate your stance and movements as often as possible to keep the muscles and body balanced.
Better Home and Garden Success!
A healthy body like a healthy garden takes preparation and loving care. Schedule a spinal check up and address any unwanted weeds that may be taking root in your most valuable asset your health.

We are in full swing of the 21st century with all its benefits but also alarming detriments. All correspondence is now primarily virtual. Interactions between humans, may it be business, casual acquaintances and worse, our more intimate partners has now become smart technology hands-free operations based. With so much time spent in our virtual world, our physical bodies, especially our neck and back, are suffering from diseases inclusive of obesity, migraine headaches and more chronic pains due to our habitual bad postures that we hold while we are “corresponding.”
“Virtual” Pain Is Real
Years ago we attributed that the most unhealthy people were typically those who had careers which required hard, repetitive physical labor, repetitive activities or those who were required to travel long distances in a poor sitting position in a car or truck. The hours, weeks, months, and years with these requirements which were typically done in an unhealthy position had been one of the largest contributors to poor health rather than an impact or accident.
Turn of The Century Change
As the age of digital technology became the ruler of careers and now for many virtual lives and social connections, our time sitting in poor postures has more than tripled and so has the rise in our health problems.
These health problems range from neck pain, back pain, headaches, and sciatica to the onset of many disease processes including obesity.
Although the solution of unplugging from our devices may seem simple, it is not that easy as many of our careers are dependent on them and as long as we are not inconvenienced with a life-threatening disease, we do not act. Unfortunately, hitting the escape key at that point is not that easy.
Re-Boot Your Health
At our practice, we see how human behaviors and our evolution of technology has shaped our society and impacted the way we use our bodies. Repetitive activities with poor posture are at an all-time high and continue to have predictably devastating effects on our health. If we do not implement change in our behaviors, the health of the next generation may get worse.
Because smartphones, computers and the virtual world are here to stay, let us help you begin to re-boot your actions with a few simple tips:
1. Get a standing desk or an ergonomically designed chair, preferably with a properly fitted backrest or better yet not at all.
2. Take regular breaks. Get up every 30-60 minutes to stretch for 30-60 seconds.
3. Do not sit or lounge on the sofa after your evening meal. Stand, stretch or walk for 10 minutes without your handheld device. Here is an added bonus, it will also stimulate your metabolism!

Is your future health worth a few minutes and a few minor changes in your behaviors? Absolutely!
