Ready to lace up and hit the trails this summer? The PUMA Toronto Women’s Summer 10K/5K is coming up on August 23, 2025, at Wilket Creek Park. The event offers women of all fitness levels a chance to challenge themselves through one of Toronto’s most scenic green spaces. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or preparing for your first race, getting your body ready is essential for success.
North York chiropractor Dr. Stacey Smith understands the importance of proper preparation for both performance and injury prevention.
Pre-Race Optimization
Regular chiropractic adjustments can dramatically improve your body’s performance potential when race day arrives. These treatments enhance posture and mobility while reducing muscle tension and improving overall biomechanics.
When your body moves more efficiently, you reduce the risk of common running injuries such as shin splints, IT band syndrome, and lower back pain. The improvements in alignment help runners maintain proper form even as fatigue sets in during longer distances.
Recovery and Beyond
With chiropractic support, post-race recovery becomes much more manageable. Adjustments improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and help muscles relax and repair more effectively. Many runners report less soreness and stiffness when chiropractic care is part of their recovery routine.
Beyond physical benefits, chiropractic care helps manage the mental and emotional stress that comes with training and competition. By promoting nervous system balance, it supports better sleep and overall wellbeing, crucial factors for race day success.
