Are you ready for winter?!

Do you often get shoulder or back pain when shoveling? Physio can help. If you have pre-existing stiffness or pain, repetitive activities can be aggravating. A physiotherapist can identify and treat the issue even if you don't have pain.

Safe shoveling tips:
• Squat with your legs, knees bent and back straight
• Move your feet rather than twisting
• Don't bend at the waist
• Scoop small amounts of snow into the shovel and walk to where you want to dump it.
• Push the snow when you can rather than lift

We are very excited to be nominated in the top 10 for favourite physiotherapy clinic! Voting starts now until Sept 12! Please vote for us!

Our plaza is still currently under construction, which means we still don't have a sign. Here's a throw back pic of what our sign used to look like. The second picture is our current temporary sign. We are eagerly awaiting the day our new sign gets installed! Stay tuned.

Often when people have a foot pronation issue getting an orthotic is the quick fix recommendation. However, how many people get orthotics, but still continue to experience problems or get worse.
Pronation is often not simply a foot issue but related to another issue such as lower back, hip or knee problems or even upper back issues. A skilled physiotherapist can assess your pronation and identify the true cause and help you get back to doing what you want to do painfree.

This little guy loves coming to physio! Baby K. had neck and shoulder weakness due to his birth position. Physiotherapy has helped him get back on track with his developmental milestones.

On March 21st, the province of Ontario will be dropping the masking requirements for most places EXCEPT in healthcare settings. That means you will still be required to wear a mask for your physiotherapy appointments. Please continue to bring your own masks.

As we move into nicer weather, many people will switch from indoor workouts to outdoor. This is not an easy transition, treadmill running is not the same as trail or sidewalk running. To avoid injury, start with an easy flat trail, and shorter distances. Gradually, transition to more rugged terrain as your muscles get used to constantly changing surfaces. With this transition, you may also notice you can't run as long as you were previously able to on a treadmill. Over time this will change. A skilled physiotherapist can help with this transition to prevent injuries.

Guess which staff member got this special gift?
