Some tips from your top local chiropractor
We’re sure if you have a sports coach or a personal trainer to coach you through your fit and athletic life.

Something that you may think is very simple could turn into a real problem if you choose to ignore it. So here are some tips from your local Reno Chiropractor:
- Always precede a sporting activity with a warm-up session
- Stretch thoroughly before and after your athletic session
- Don’t over-stretch yourself
- Increase the frequency or duration of workouts slowly and progressively
