May is National Physical Fitness & Sports Month: Why Movement Matters More Than You Think
At Sonoma Sports & Family Chiropractic, we’re not just focused on getting you out of pain—we’re here to help you move well, perform better, and age strong.
May is National Physical Fitness & Sports Month, and it's a perfect reminder that physical activity plays a far bigger role in your health than just fitness goals or appearance.
In fact, regular movement—especially resistance or strength training—has been shown to:
-
Reduce the risk of falls, especially in older adults, by improving balance and joint control
-
Increase bone density, helping to prevent fractures and osteoporosis
-
Enhance cognitive function, memory, and even reduce the risk of dementia
-
Build muscular strength and endurance, which is essential for maintaining independence as we age
-
Support metabolic health, improving blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and cardiovascular function
And here’s the real takeaway:
Staying active isn’t just for athletes or gym-goers—it’s for everyone who wants to feel better in their day-to-day life. Whether it’s carrying groceries, walking the dog, or getting on and off the floor with your kids or grandkids—your ability to move well is your independence.
This May:
We’ll be sharing weekly performance challenges through our “May the Force Be With You” campaign to help you track your own strength and mobility metrics—like grip strength, plank holds, and ground force production—all of which are linked to long-term health outcomes.
Need help getting started? Book a movement and mobility assessment to see where you’re strong—and where you can build up.
Let’s get moving, Sonoma
