You've probably heard the saying: "The stronger your legs, the longer your lifespan."
There's some interesting science behind the idea - but the reality is a little more nuanced.

Research has found that lower-body strength and physical performance are associated with mortality risk, particularly as we get older.

One simple measure researchers use is the chair-stand test - how efficiently someone can repeatedly stand up from a chair.

Why is that interesting?

Because getting out of a chair, climbing stairs, walking, balancing and getting up from the floor are all everyday movements that require strength and physical capacity.

Strong legs aren't a guarantee of a longer life, and these studies don't prove that leg strength itself causes people to live longer.

But they do highlight something worth paying attention to:

Maintaining strength and physical function is an important part of healthy ageing.

Keep your body capable of doing the things that make life worth living.

Bending. Rotating. Walking. Reaching. Sitting. Standing.
Movement is a normal part of how the spine functions, with the joints, muscles, discs and nervous system all working together to support everyday movement.

That’s why maintaining healthy movement and mobility is an important part of looking after your body.

At Chiropractic Wellness Centre, we focus on gentle, individualised chiropractic care to support spinal function, movement and overall wellbeing.

There is no one-size-fits-all body. Ever wondered why one person can do something all day while another finds the same activity physically demanding? Our bodies aren't identical.

Factors such as strength, mobility, fitness, previous physical experiences, movement habits and how accustomed we are to a particular activity can all influence how our bodies respond.

Even the same person can respond differently depending on how much they've been moving, how long they've been in one position or what they've been doing beforehand.

That's why understanding the individual matters when looking at movement and physical well-being.

Your body has its own history, habits and adaptations - and that's worth considering.

Modern science only understands about 9% of how the body works.

Your brain doesn't operate in isolation. It is constantly receiving information from the rest of your body, processing it and coordinating how you move, balance and respond to your environment.

The joints and muscles of the spine are part of this communication network.

An adjustment provides a new burst of sensory input to the nervous system, and research suggests that spinal manipulation can influence the way the nervous system processes sensory information.

That's one reason chiropractic care is so interesting.

We're not simply looking at bones and muscles - we're looking at how the body functions as a connected system.

Dr Brett explains the brain-body connection in today's video.

How does your body know where it is - even when you're not looking?

Close your eyes and lift one foot off the ground.

You probably don't need to look at your leg to know where it is.

That's partly thanks to proprioception - the body's ability to sense the position and movement of its own parts.

Specialised sensory receptors in muscles, tendons and joints constantly send information to the nervous system.

Your brain then uses that information, together with input from your eyes and inner ear, to help coordinate movement and maintain balance.

It's happening all the time, without you having to consciously think about it.

The human body is pretty clever.

An appointment is one part of taking care of your body. What happens between appointments matters too.

- Sleep gives the body time to recover.
- Movement keeps the body active.
- Good nutrition provides the building blocks the body needs.
- Hydration supports normal body function.
- And giving your body appropriate time to recover matters when you're asking it to do more.

Chiropractic care can be one part of a broader approach to health and wellbeing.

The goal isn't simply what happens during an appointment.
It's also what you do with your body afterwards.
Take care of it between visits, too.
