Did you miss out on our ‘How To Get Rid of Endless Pain’ webinar?

As a chiropractor, I focus a lot on education to drive long-term results. As such, we usually do a community project every month. This can be anything from an online webinar to a in-person workshop.

Stay healthy with Apple watch: Do wearable activity trackers work?

We know increasing physical activity is no easy feat. In our blog post earlier this week, we highlighted that only 10% of healthy-weight children in United States meet guideline recommendations for exercise, sleep, and screen-time. To some extent, we live unhealthily since we were kids! Picking up a new health behaviour is a complex change [...]

Science is always growing. New science debunks serotonin-hypothesis of depression.

Part of problem with being an evidence-based chiropractor is that you gotta repeatedly keep up with research. Sometimes new research challenges our existing knowledge base, and this is particularly problematic because it means our clinical practice would have to change.

It all starts from when you are young!

As a chiropractor, I work with people living with chronic pain. In many cases, chronic pain patients will blame specific injuries or "bad" posture or muscle imbalance as the cause of their pain. While these "causes" of pain may make sense to us, studies show that they poorly correlate with pain experiences. In other words, [...]

You must know by this stage that recovery is no easy feat. Quite often patients think of their condition as just back pain or neck pain. However, your condition is often a lot more than just pain alone. Today, we go through the reasons why you may not be getting meaningful, long-term results from your [...]

Why feeling worse before feeling better is very much a part of recovery

As a persistent pain sufferer, you may want to book in to see a chiropractor in Singapore for instant relief. Watching other people get adjusted on video gives us an ASMR. It looks as if the pain relief is immediate, and that the person is immediately cured. We are bombarded with so many of such [...]

Stop obsessing about your posture and thinking effective pain solutions

As chiropractors, we often get queries about people wanting to fix their posture. In doing so, they hope to resolve their pain. However, there's little to no evidence that suggest that posture improvement can be a pain solution. Here are ... reasons why. You don't need good posture to have no pain We will start [...]

Four movement drills to help you perfect your hip hinge

We hinge all the time. From picking something up off the floor to sitting into a chair. We do it so often that sometimes we take this movement for granted. The hip hinge is designed to work your posterior chain, which includes the glutes, hamstrings, and low back muscles. The movement of the hip hinge [...]

If your pain all in your head? Pain science can give you long-term results

Most people found our work at Square One Active Recovery curious because we truly focus on the whole person rather than just the physical parts. While some people may think chiropractic is all about being cracked all over the body, we see chiropractic as something much bigger than that. Instead of seeing chiropractor as crack-my-spine [...]

What? Mental Health and Financial Fitness Are Intertwined?

World Mental Health Day has come and gone, and yet it would seem our lives have remained largely unchanged. The unfortunate truth is that we are often caught up with our own hustle and bustle that we forget to take a pause for our own mental well-being. An interesting commentary by Bryce Johns, Global CEO [...]

The Totality of Health: Why Mental Fitness Also Matters

As the number of new COVID-19 cases and deaths from COVID-19 rise, it is no surprising that some of us may start to feel anxious. After all, the uncertainty is, well, uncertain. From 13 October, those who are unvaccinated will no longer be allowed to dine out or enter shopping malls. Despite the increasing new [...]

Is your chronic pain a lifestyle disease: a behavioural approach to recovery

It's not unimaginable that a sedentary lifestyle or an overactive lifestyle can both contribute to chronic pain. When you try to make sense of your pain, you probably reason with a structure-based or damage-based narrative. Afterall, this is what most chiropractors or orthopaedic surgeons will talk about even though recent research has vigorously challenged them. [...]
