When you live in the Seattle area, rain is just part of the situation. If you don’t like rain, it’s time to go back to California! Just joking, of course. I wasn’t used to the rain when I first moved here, but I have embraced it because I do live here after all.

With so much water dropping across our landscape, you’re bound to get a puddle or two… or three… or four… you get the idea. Puddles create chances for me to slip, fall, and hurt my back. After dealing with back pain in the past, I visited a seattle chiropractor.

They did a great job, got me back on my feet and back to enjoying all of the normal crazy things I like to do during my week. I was able to start exercising again and playing soccer on the weekends. I don’t even worry about slide tackling someone.

I used to worry that if I didn’t take it easy, that I could have a set back. One thing I’ve totally learned, though, is that you have to just go for it. What’s the point of working on your health and taking care of yourself if you can’t enjoy it?

Why would you own a turbo sports car and never drive it fast? You have to use it for what it was intended to do. You can’t sit back and worry about it. When you do get nicked up, just go and visit my seattle chiropractor. You’ll be glad you did.

I also recommend eating well and getting regular exercise. Don’t worry about the rain, and definitely don’t worry about puddles and how they may cause you to fall and hurt your back. This is Seattle, we don’t carry umbrellas, we just tilt our head forward and let the rain roll off our eyebrows.
