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.

The Summer Sport Surge in Guildford

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:

  • Lower back pain after golf, tennis, or extended outdoor work
  • Neck stiffness from sudden activity or bad posture
  • Shoulder aches from swimming or overzealous home projects
  • General joint fatigue from a sharp increase in exercise

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 Matters—On and Off the Field

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?

  • Misaligned shoulders or hips during hiking
  • Neck strain from carrying children or heavy bags
  • Back tension from prolonged standing or bending

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.

Hydration, Recovery & the Unpredictable British Summer

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:

  • Light movement the day after intense activity
  • Stretching to release tension
  • Chiropractic adjustments to aid circulation and muscle repair

Chiropractic Tip: Prioritise recovery. Schedule regular self-care sessions like yoga, sports massage, or chiropractic check-ups to maintain momentum and prevent burnout.
