Resolve to walk more!

Health professionals around the world including ourselves at Action Sport Physio are calling for people to get off their chair and walk!

Walking can be described as the “wonder drug” where no medical prescription is required.

It has no side effects and has an incredible impact on physical capacity and mental health among many other things.
“Walking is the number one exercise in North America, and just about everyone can do it,” says John Stanton, founder of the Running Room.

The simple movement of walking can be considered a very powerful medicinal tool! Walking can help relax the smooth muscles responsible for contracting blood vessels, thereby improving circulation. Furthermore, walking supports the joints by bringing oxygen and nutrients to the joint regions therefore resulting in some pain relief.

It is also well known in the literature that Type 2 diabetes is preventable, and walking can make great strides in that prevention.

These are but a few of the benefits of walking.

Your Action Sport Physio health professional can tell you more and help you develop a suitable walking program.
