Because of the large proportion of time we spend sitting, our lack of understanding of what our core really is, and advice that many doctors give to rest for unnecessarily long periods, we are losing our ability to move our bodies optimally. In today’s episode, Dr. Chelsey Fricker, a chiropractor operating from Optimum Wellness in Toronto, joins us to share her approach to treating her patients, which involves teaching them the art of movement! You’ll also learn about some of the most common causes of the injuries that Chelsey sees in her practice, symptoms that require immediate attention, analogies that she provides to her patients to get them to do their homework, why we should all be visiting a chiropractor once a month, and lots more!
