Our bodies are designed to move! Movement not only builds muscle and coordination. Movement feeds the brain! And specific movements program the brain as well during the early years.
So when a baby is not crawling, it’s not integrating the left and the right brain which is important for setting up the brain for reading. When toddlers are delayed walking, it’s usually due to poor muscle tone indicating some issues with how the nerves and the muscles are working together with poor input into the brain. Children can suffer from growing pains or incoordination. Adults will eventually lead to chronic pain, poor posture, and a whole host of health issues that include digestion, breathing, and cognition.
A lack of movement can indicate a lack of nerve input into the muscles and the brain. As a neurologically focused chiropractor, Dr. Randy with inThrive Chiropractic’s job is to detect and correct subluxations that cause nerve interference between the brain and the muscles. The first component of a subluxation is a lack of movement in the spine.
Join Dr. Randy and he will explain the importance of movement and the nervous system.
