Spring planting season is here 🌱 and so is the classic Sunday-night "why does my back feel like this?" Over the next few weeks we are sharing simple ways to look after your body in the garden.

Tip #1: kneel on a pad or sit on a low stool for ground-level jobs rather than bending over from the waist for an hour. Your future self will thank you.

Warm-up moves coming Wednesday 👀 Save this and tag your garden buddy.

A little bittersweet 🤍

After my time at Balance Family Chiropractic, I’ll soon be saying goodbye to Canberra and heading into my next chapter.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with your care and made my time here so special. I’ll definitely miss seeing all your familiar faces!

Nobody tell our personal trainers, but Canberra's real HIIT season has arrived 🐦⚡

Introducing the Magpie Swooping Workout™ (patent pending, results not guaranteed, screaming optional):

🏃‍♀️ Sprint intervals - triggered by a flash of black and white in your peripheral vision

🦵 Squats - ducking under a bird that thinks your head is personal property

🔄 Agility drills - the zig-zag, the u-turn, the "I forgot something at home" pivot

Bonus points if you're doing all of this while holding a lead, a coffee, and the will to live.

60 minutes of movement a day sounds like a lot, but between the playground, the bike rides and the backyard cricket, most kids are already smashing it. Spring just makes it easier.
