Run complete! Have a great weekend everybody! Thanks for the support

Good luck to everybody running the Boston Marathon this year! I will be in the office today, but will be out of the office Friday Oct 8th (running the virtual version of the Boston Marathon tomorrow), and out of the office on Monday Oct 11th for Thanksgiving. Have a great and safe weekend, see everybody on Tuesday Oct 12th.
(Background is the shadow box of stuff from the 2014 Boston Marathon that I participated in)

I will be out of the office on Thursday Sept 30th and be back in the office on Friday October 1st

Have a great and safe long weekend. I will be out of the office on Monday September 6th and be back in on Tuesday September 7th

Over the last couple of weeks there has been an increase in late cancellations (less than 24 hours notice) or no-shows. For illness related concerns, the policy will not affect any patient (these things happen), but other types of cancellations will be subject to a late cancellation/no-show fee. Giving me ample time if we need to change appointment times allows that spot to get filled.

Thanks for your understanding,

Colin

Caffeine and timing of exercise bouts may influence us more than we think

Walking has more than just cardiovascular effects with patients who have low back pain

Back pain is complex. Sometimes we think of an activity that has made the pain worse, but it is often just one piece of the puzzle

Working from home can present some challenges - I would suggest getting up even more (every 15 to 20 minutes) to break the cycle of tension in your back.

I will be out of the office Thursday July 1st through Sunday July 4th, and will be returning to the office on Monday, July 5th. Talk soon! 🇨🇦

All structures don't heal at the same rate

Get those glutes in gear! Hip muscle strength has a lot of health benefits for our backs and lower limb

Caffeine comes in a number of beverages. Monitoring caffine consumption is an important part of one's nutrition

Heel pain can me multifactorial. Hopefully the strategies implemented can help!
