 Your HealthBy Tonya Rouse Q: Why do our backs become problematic as we get older? Any preventative measures? A: Dr.Sender Deutsch of SHAPE Health and Wellness Centre (shapetoronto.com) is a Toronto-based chiropractor who uses integrated training techniques for his clients. He says, " As we age, many factors occur, including degenerative changes, loss of disc height, reduction of tissue elasticity and decreased strength." The best way to prevent back pain is to "maintain a strong and stable core through an approved exercise program," he adds. "Research demonstrates that the plank, side bridge, cross crawl and abs curl with one leg straight are the most effective exercises for stabilizing the spine." |
Through years of sports and competitive dance, I've had numerous chronic injuries. I visited physiotherapists, massage therapists and acupuncturists, but not until SHAPE did I recognize a remarkable difference. It's almost unbelievable how accurately they made the diagnosis and performed appropriate treatments. I am so thankful to be free of some of the pain I had for years. If there’s such thing as miracle workers – Shawn & Sender are it!.
The fact that they follow up the next day with a phone call or an email speaks volumes for the service!
