Just minutes from downtown Nampa, Lake Lowell is one of our community’s favorite spots to get outside, recharge, and enjoy God’s beautiful creation.
Surrounded by the Deer Flat National Wildlife Refuge, it offers plenty of opportunities to move your body, reduce stress, and support a healthy spine.
1. Kayaking or Paddleboarding
Gliding across the water challenges your balance and engages your core muscles. A strong core helps stabilize your spine, making this a low-impact but effective way to support back health.
2. Hiking the Trails
Lake Lowell offers scenic trails perfect for walking or hiking. Regular walking improves circulation, strengthens postural muscles, and eases stiffness in the lower back.
3. Birdwatching and Nature Walks
Sometimes, slowing down is just as important as staying active. Gentle walks combined with mindful observation can reduce stress, a major contributor to tension in the neck and shoulders.
4. Disc Golf
Yes, it’s fun, but throwing and walking between holes also keeps you moving and activates muscles in your shoulders, arms, and core. Just be mindful of your form when bending or reaching.
5. Family Picnics and Stretching
Spending time outdoors with family can be active too. Bring along a yoga mat or blanket and add a few stretches before or after your picnic to keep your spine limber. At our practice, we love encouraging our patients to enjoy activities like these.
