A recent visit to a local nursing home humbled me.
I will tell you about it but first I want to remind you how grateful I am.
I recall about nine years ago when I ran my first 10k race. I hardly trained for it and it was going to run a 10km distance for the first time. By the time I was half way through, my legs felt so heavy and my muscles were in excruciating pain. Only one thing got me through the finish line.
Gratitude!
That’s right. I had a overwhelming sense of gratitude. Through all the pain, the sweat, and the fatigue, I kept on saying to myself, “I’m so grateful for my legs. I’m am so grateful for my muscles. I’m so grateful for my strength”.
That’s the only way I pulled through. I crossed the finish line.
Why do I tell you this story?
Well, I tell you because if you are able to walk and get around on your own two feet and legs, then you should be grateful too.
You see, there are many people in our society, maybe even people you know personally, that have a restriction with their mobility and require the use of a cane, a walker, or a wheel chair.
If you don’t know of any personally, then visit a local nursing home and you will see how common this is.
Recently, I went to visit a family friend in a nursing home with my wife. After we were done with our visit, we were waiting for the elevator. About 50 feet away from us was a sweet elderly woman in a wheel chair.
But something seemed off.
She then starting yelling but because she spoke a language that was foreign to me, I didn’t understand what she was saying.
She kept on yelling. I realized it was more of a distress call and that she was trying to get my attention.
I walked over to her. Her frailty and weakness was really noticeable. I then saw that she was slowly slipping off her wheel chair.
So I immediately helped her up into a seated position.
What she did next melted my heart.
She tilted her head down, put her face in one hand, and started to cry. Tears were pouring down her cheeks. I looked at her, held her hand and told her, “It’s okay”.
It suddenly occurred to me how helpless she must have felt and how she probably wished she had the strength to help and support herself.
What would she give to be able to walk again? What would that be worth to her? There’s no amount of money that can equate to this basic need and value as a human being.
This is why we should all be grateful for our ability to walk and get around with our own legs and our strength.
But there are far to many people who have restriction with their mobility and depend on external devices likes a cane, a walker, or a wheel chair.
And this is why at Back To Health Chiropractic Centre, we are honouring Restricted Mobility Awareness.
That’s right, May is Restricted Mobility Awareness Month.
Our aim this month is to focus on reaching out and helping people with restricted mobility; anybody with a cane, walker, or wheel chair.
How can we help? With chiropractic care. Chiropractic can help improve power to muscles, increase mobility of restricted joints in the spine, hip, and knees, and it can help increase strength.
If you know of anyone in your circle of family and friends who is currently using a cane, a walker, or a wheel chair, then refer them for a chiropractic check up today. They certainly can use it.
If they need encouragement or reasurrance, then bring them to our office yourself.
And, if they want the check up but can’t get to our office, then I will do my best to get to them with a home visit.
Remember the story of the elderly lady above.
Let’s start seeing more smiles on people’s faces and not tears. Together, we can make this happen through chiropractic.
Call our office today at (905) 303-1009 to discover how chiropractic can help with restricted mobility.
