Getting stronger means increasing your muscle strength and increasing your resilience.  Both are necessary to get you healthy and to keep you healthy.

Benefits of increasing your muscle strength

From a chiropractor’s perspective having good muscle strength keeps your spine stable, improves your alignment and posture, improves your athletic performance, reduces the chance of injuries, and helps improve your balance and coordination.  Furthermore, increasing your muscle strength will help you withstand and continue to partake in physical activities around the house like gardening, yard work, home renovations, shovelling, and general house work.

Increasing your resilience

Resilience is your body's ability to respond effectively when you encounter stress.  Building up your internal response to a stressful situation can help ensure you heal better and stay healthy.

The following articles explain how you can boost your muscle strength and resilience from treatments like chiropractic care to lifestyle strategies like eating healthier, exercises, sleeping better, and stress management.
