Feel Great This Summer in Guildford: Sports, Sunshine & Spinal Health

Summer has arrived in Guildford—and it’s the perfect time to get moving. From the vibrant High Street to the sun-drenched trails of the Surrey Hills, our town comes alive with activity. Whether you're diving into tennis at Stoke Park, hiking through the countryside, or enjoying a dip at the Guildford Lido, one thing’s clear: Guildford loves to stay active.
At Guildford Spine Centre, we celebrate this seasonal surge of energy. But we also know it comes with a catch—an increase in those pesky twinges, strains, and “I-slept-funny” pains that can interrupt your fun. That’s why we’re here to guide you through a safe, active, and spine-friendly summer.
Guildford’s summer calendar is packed with physical fun: 5Ks, cricket, golf, swimming, and more. But jumping back into activity after a slower winter can sometimes be a shock to the system.
Common issues we treat during summer include:
Chiropractic Tip: Ease in gradually. If you haven’t played football or cycled in months, start slow. Warm-ups, cool-downs, and proper technique matter more than ever.
Posture isn’t just for office hours. It’s crucial during hikes, gardening, paddleboarding, and even sunbathing. When your posture is off, your muscles and joints work harder, often leading to discomfort or injury.
What can go wrong?
Chiropractic Tip: Check your posture often. Even small adjustments can reduce strain and boost performance. A spinal assessment at Guildford Spine Centre can identify misalignments and guide you toward healthier movement patterns.
Whether it’s 30°C and sunny or you’re dodging a downpour, hydration is key. Muscles need water to stay flexible, and joints rely on it to move smoothly. Without enough fluids, fatigue, cramping, and slower recovery can set in.
Don't forget your recovery routine:
Chiropractic Tip: Prioritise recovery. Schedule regular self-care sessions like yoga, sports massage, or chiropractic check-ups to maintain momentum and prevent burnout.
Contrary to popular belief, chiropractic care isn’t just about fixing pain—it’s about preventing it. At Guildford Spine Centre, our summer patients range from seasoned athletes to weekend warriors and first-time hikers.
Our chiropractic team can help you:
Whether your goals include running the next Parkrun or keeping pace with the kids, we tailor our care to your life and lifestyle.
Summer in Guildford is a time to thrive, not sit on the sidelines. Whether you’re kayaking on the River Wey or finally tackling that overgrown garden, your spine is your silent teammate. Treat it well, and it will keep you going strong.
Listen to your body. Stay hydrated. Stretch out. And if anything feels out of place, give us a call.
Let’s make this your most active, enjoyable summer yet.
