Why does movement help you feel better, not just physically but mentally too? Regular activity can support brain function, joint mobility and overall wellbeing, creating positive flow-on effects throughout the body.
Why Movement Matters for the Body and Mind
When you walk, stretch or move your body regularly, you help support circulation, joint mobility and mental clarity. A 2020 review published in Frontiers in Public Health suggested that walking in natural environments may help improve mood, reduce stress and support cognitive performance in older adults.¹
Where Chiropractic May Fit In
Sometimes discomfort, joint stiffness or poor posture can limit your ability to move comfortably. That’s where spinal care may offer support.
