🌈 Happy Pride Month from all of us at CBI Health! 🌈

This June, as we embrace Pride Month, we not only acknowledge but celebrate the invaluable contributions of our 2SLGBTQI+ employees and clients.

The importance of acceptance and support is deeply prominent in the world of rehabilitation. The journey towards healing thrives in environments where individuals feel seen, heard, accepted, and loved for who they are. We continuously work towards fostering an inclusive and safe environment for all members of the 2SLGBTQI+community and supporting their rights. As Pride Month continues to unfold, let's unite in our efforts to build a community where everyone feels safe, supported, and cherished. 🏳️‍🌈

Did you know? 💭

Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour levels remain high with only 49.2% of adults and 43.9% of children and youth meeting physical activity recommendations in Canada.

This National Health and Fitness Day, we encourage you to continue making physical activity part of your daily routines to help lead healthier and happier lives! Here are some quick ways to include physical activity in your daily routine:

- Adjust your commute! Try getting off the bus one stop earlier to walk or stand

- Engage in sports, play, or dance

- Invite your friends for a bike ride

Regular physical activity lowers stress, strengthens us, supports positive mental health, and promotes healthy growth and development.



As always, our amazing team of professionals welcomes you to reach your health and wellness goals together!

It’s Brain Awareness Week, so let’s talk brain health! 🧠

Did you know that more than 1.5 million Canadians live with the effects of an acquired brain injury? These injuries encompass a range of conditions, including concussions from sports or accidents, as well as strokes resulting from disrupted blood flow to the brain.

Brain-related injuries are more common than we think, with symptoms often manifesting as physical, cognitive, and behavioral effects such as fatigue, nausea, poor concentration, or irritability.

This Brain Awareness Week, let's shed light on the importance of recognizing these injuries early. If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or poor memory after an incident, don't wait to seek support.

CBI Health is here to guide you through recovery with our advanced Concussion Care Services. Click here to learn more: https://www.cbihealth.ca/services/concussion-care

Together, we must continue to champion diversity, equity and inclusion in everything we do so that every woman feels valued, empowered and supported to reach their full potential.

As we reflect on the remarkable women in our lives, let’s also recognize the importance of pelvic health for women’s well-being. From pre/post-partum care to managing conditions like incontinence and osteoporosis, physiotherapy offers holistic solutions. Our pelvic health services, led by dedicated physiotherapists, exemplify women supporting women in matters of health and wellness.
