We’ll take that information and use it to point you in the right direction to get the results you’re after. If it’s chiropractic you need, more muscle therapy, or mobility training, we’ll set a game plan for you.... New Patient Consultations are currently included with every new patient visit.

If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you. You can be certain you’ll be challenged while learning new movements here at the office. We all know stretching is important, but the intention of the stretch is even more important.... We see all these posts online saying stretch this way, position your body just like me, try to duplicate this movement. Even if we tried to stretch that same exact way, based on Dynamic Systems Theory, the same exact tissues won’t be stressed. This means that finding the right line of tension FOR YOUR BODY is important. You’ll see in this video, we’re doing some movement exploration in the 90/90 position. While exploring the movement, you’ll notice positioning your body a certain way might feel better than doing it the same way someone else is doing it. Finding these lines could be the difference between you wasting time trying to do the same stretches over and over again and you training your body efficiently and effectively. Here at the office, we’ll be glad to point you in the right direction to level up your mobility and body control . . . . #bakersfield #sportschiropractic #chiropractor #personaltraining #movement #mobility #training

Repost // from Manual Therapist and Mobility Specialist @sam.thecoach . ..... We have a brain for one thing and one thing only - and that’s to produce adaptable and complex movements. -Daniel Wolpert ... Humans were made to move. Move to run away from predators. Move to gather berries and hunt animals. Move to travel long distances. Reaching overhead to pick fruit off of a tree. Squatting down to pick up fruit baskets. Our ancestors were exposed to a variety of movements and they definitely had far less back pain. Compare that to today in modern times, we don’t nearly get as much movement variability. We’re mostly seated, we can get food delivered with the click of a button, and guess what..... back pain and joint pain is at an all time high. As toddlers, we have a fresh set of joints, 0 pain, and crazy mobility. What happens is, we get older and accustomed to sitting in school all day, sitting in the car for hours, and sitting on our couch catching up on the latest episodes of whatever it is. We never fully express what our joints can do, and if we don’t use it, we lose it, meaning whatever ranges of motion we don’t use, our body loses the ability to express those ranges... so if you don’t deep squat your whole life then try to do it randomly one day, forget about it. Now I’m not saying to start living how our ancestors lived and become savages hunting and gathering our own food just to get some pain relief, but maybe try exposing yourself to more movement variability. The deep squat is one of those positions that tests your mobility. It requires a great deal of hip, knee, and ankle mobility. Simply getting into this position and exploring your range of motions will have you moving and feeling better, guaranteed Let’s get moving . . . . . #humanmovement #strength #mobility #massagetherapy #cuppingtherapy #myofascialdecompression #kinstretch #functionalrangesystems #graston #scraping #iastm #movewell #movemore #activelifestyle #hiking #lifestyle #mobilitytraining #jointstrengthtraining #yoga #hotyoga #strengthandconditioning

Percussion/Vibration devices. Do they work? Should I use them? We get asked this question a lot and we know a lot of you have them.... Our short answer: If it makes you feel better, we’re all about it. If you’re absolutely in need of some relief and you don’t feel like getting off the couch or out of bed to do some stretching, then yes it would probably help you get some relief. BUT, it shouldn’t replace the other techniques to make lasting change in the tissue. These devices affect afference more than anything, which is just a fancy word for the signals being sent to the brain from the body, which includes pain. So yes, it will make you feel better. As you see here, using it with the muscle in a stretched position is what we recommend. During your session here, we’ll be glad to answer any other question you have, or you can send us a DM with any questions you have!

With the new added stress of transitioning to virtual learning, we will be offering a 50% discount on services (excluding massage services), to help teachers that are needing relief! So if you know anyone that needs some TLC spread the word! #chiropractor #sportschiro #chiro #helptheteachers

Here’s another mobility idea for all of you who are struggling at home with hip and/or lower back pain. This simple Glute stretch can be done in any seat in your house. This pose helps relieve tension and lower back pain, while maintaining our range of motion. We recommend doing this daily, several times a day to feel relief. #bakersfield #mobility #chiropractic #stretch #glutestretch #kerncounty #quarantine #athomestretches

Mobility! How much are you moving right now? My guess.... probably not a lot. The biggest problems we’re seeing right now is people sitting at home, in bed all day with their muscles tightening up. What happens when everything opens up again? Things might go back to normal, but your body won’t.... Start moving! Simple stretches like this hip flexor stretch take 1-2 minutes on each side, and have you feeling a lot better. #bakersfield #chiropractic #stretch #cupping #adjustments #muscletherapy #massagetherapy

#Functionality ! Let’s talk about balance. A lot of us favor one side of our body too much. Then it feels as if one side is being pulled on and that creates a lot of imbalances and pain. Here, you’ll see we put cups along the lateral chain of the body, then we did some active stretching to shear apart the layers of muscles.... #bakersfieldsbest #chiropractor #chiropractic #getadjusted #getcupped #myofasicaldecompression @cuptherapy
