Tips To Help Your Healing ~~~~~Naturally~~~~~ Part 3

Playing the Doctor ~ Please Don't

- Avoid rubbing, probing, or "poking" in the area where the doctor adjusts. Allow the body time to heal.
- Avoid sudden twists or turns of movement beyond normal limits of motion, especially of the neck.
- Avoid extreme bending of your spine in any direction; avoid reaching or other overhead work.
- Participate in simple exercisses to strenghten your body, but avoid jarring activites which place stress on your neck spine.

Bathing

- When bathing, sit rather than recline in the tub. Lying your back against the tub may cause a vertebrae to slip out of it's normal postion. If you are tired and wish to relax it's better to be in bed.

Rest

- Set aside a special time each day for complete mental and physical relaxation. This is important in the restoration- as maintenance-of normal health.
- Be sure to get plenty of sleep to allow your body to recuperate and repair.
- Sleep on your back or on your side with your legs flexed slightly, not drawn up tightly. Avoid sleeping on your stomach. Raise your head off the pillow when changing positions.
- Do not sleep sitting in a chair or in cramped quarters. Lie down in a bed when it is time to sleep.
