Delanghe Chiro

Beauty day at the @RunWaterloo Grandway 5K with the @Health_Perform and @Delanghe_Chiro squad!

HEY- we're running the @RunWaterloo #Grandway5K as a clinic! All of our staff members have different goals and levels of baseline fitness- check out what we all plan on doing here: drdelanghe.com/delanghe-chiro… Sign up here: raceroster.com/events/2023/67…

Does alcohol hurt muscle growth? Study: - 4 hrs post-workout, subjects consumed either protein, alcohol+protein OR carbs+protein - Protein trial = 25% more muscle protein synthesis than alcohol-protein, and 37% more than alcohol-carbs. If the goal is muscle growth, drink less.

Shoulder pain: Should I get an MRI? '21 Study: - 130 subjects w detailed shoulder pain profiles Post-MRI: -No link between the number of tendons impacted OR the severity of tears with how the patients felt. MRIs aren't useless, but your major focus should be on function!

Strength training in cycling: Does age matter? Study: - 2 groups: Average age 51.5 vs. 25.6yo Post-strength training: 51.5yo: ↑ strength 17.8%, ↑ cycling economy 25.6yo:↑ strength 5.9%, no change in economy The older we get, the more important strength training becomes!

We are excited to announce that chiropractic intern, Taylor Huehn, will be working with Dr. Delanghe starting in the new year! Learn more about how she still be integrated HERE: drdelanghe.com/welcome-chirop… Learn more about her HERE: drdelanghe.com/practitioners/…

Strength of balance for ankle sprains? Check out Physio Sayaka's latest! drdelanghe.com/ankle-sprains-…

Proceed with caution if training in a caloric deficit! Study: - 2 days energy deficit pre- strength training - Result: Significant drop in IGF-1 (hormone crucial for bone, muscle growth). If you're not eating enough, you're missing out on the gains you're likely looking for!

Welcome back physio Sayaka! drdelanghe.com/practitioners/…

Progress in running is never linear. Day-to-day it can feel like you’re going nowhere or backwards. However, if you have enough grit to stay the course, your current bad days will all of a sudden be better than your best days of the past.

Myth: Cramping during a race means you need more electrolytes. Reality: Time and time again, this link just hasn't been proven or even hinted at in the research. Cramping is most commonly triggered by some form of neuromuscular fatigue.

If this is a posture that you’re struggling with, book an appointment and we can work on some exercises and positioning that helps correct it. Being on a computer all day doesn’t have to end like this. @Delanghe_Chiro @Health_Perform #goodposture #massage

Summer spots open for massage. If you need or want a massage this week, book online and we'll take care of you! Be well. @Delanghe_Chiro @Health_Perform #massage #massagetherapy

Some is fine, but alcohol inhibits muscle growth after exercise. Study: After exercise subjects consumed... - protein - protein + alcohol - alcohol + carbs Results: - 24% (alcohol + protein) and 37% (alcohol + carbs) drop in muscle protein synthesis.

Running economy: How efficiently you transfer oxygen into forward running. Study: Coaches were unable to classify who had good or bad economy based on observation. A great reminder that form doesn't predict efficiency! Usually, it's best to stick with your natural stride.

For athletes, keeping your options open is great, but the downside is you miss out on going all in and seeing your true potential in ANYTHING. Committing to one sport comes with major risk and sacrifice, but along with that comes deeper fulfillment.* *Unless you're a kid.

Just had an appointment open up today at noon. If you’re in need go to thedawsonclinic.ca and book in! @Delanghe_Chiro @Health_Perform
