(Requires internet connection).

The human body was designed for movement, so to keep your spine at its best, we should stay active. In other words, a healthy spine means a healthier life! The Just Start Walking initiative was developed to raise awareness about the importance of keeping active, the benefits this can offer to your overall well-being and spinal health, as well as providing an easy-to-use program to help encourage regular physical activity.

Just Start Walking is an initiative from the World Federation of Chiropractic, a global non-profit association that was admitted into official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO) as a non-governmental organization in January 1997. As a member organization of the World Federation of Chiropractic, the Chiropractors’ Association of Australia has adapted the program for use in Australia.

Just Start Walking Australia is designed to prompt people around Australia to, quite simply, Just Start Walking.
