Boca is blessed with many glorious beaches—including South Beach Park, Red Reef Park, and Spanish River Park—each offering a stunning backdrop for a sun-soaked day of fun. Whether you’re digging in for a game of volleyball, wading into the surf, or just tossing a Frisbee, these laid-back activities can take a toll on your body if you’re not prepared.
Stable Steps on Unstable Sand
“At the end of the day, sand is an uneven surface,” says Dr. Jesus, a former collegiate volleyball player. That unevenness makes even the simplest activities—walking, jumping, playing catch—more physically demanding. It places extra strain on your ankles, knees, hips, and spine. The good news? Regular chiropractic care can help improve balance and joint adaptability before you hit the sand.
The Power of Proper Alignment
When your spine and pelvis are aligned, your body responds more efficiently to shifting surfaces. That can mean fewer stumbles and less soreness the next day. “We go back to balancing that pelvis, balancing the sacrum attached to the spine,” Dr. Jesus explains. “So then your body is more adaptable when playing on these uneven surfaces.”
Loosen Up Before You Hit the Beach
Before heading out to the beach, consider a spinal tune-up. Chiropractic adjustments can help relieve built-up tension, boost flexibility, and keep your muscles firing smoothly. It’s not about “fixing” something—it’s about getting your body ready to enjoy your favorite beach activities without overcompensating or straining.
Care That Fits Your Lifestyle
Whether you’re a weekend beachgoer or a daily sand court regular, your care plan should fit your life. That might mean occasional maintenance visits (kind of like taking your car in to get it serviced at recommended intervals) or more regular sessions if you’re active every day. The goal? Help your body keep up with what you love doing most.
