Go For A Walk!

Walking is our most natural movement. We have literally evolved over millenia to be walking machines, and are capable of walking many kilometres a day as we forage for food and explore. (The whole paleo movement is based on the fact that humans have not genetically changed for over 10,000 years, from when our lifestyle and diet revolved around hunting and gathering.)

Many of you will be aware of how important it is to go for a walk after your spinal adjustment, as it helps the adjustment to settle in and hold better. But did you know that walking has many, many other health benefits? And some of them are quite remarkable.
