Manual Physio Solutions

Creeping it real this spooky season 🖤🧡 Happy Halloween from the ghouls and gaunts down at MPS. Don’t let any monster muscles or wicked knots get you down, we’re here for all your aches and pains…even if they are from carrying an over-stuffed pillowcase of candy 🍬

A huge congratulations to our PTA .mageau24 who tied the not recently!! Wishing you both a lifetime of strength, support, and alignment - we’ll always be here to help with any aches and pains

🦴 Happy National Spine Day! 🦴

Today, we’re celebrating the backbone of our body – literally! Your spine plays a key role in supporting movement, flexibility, and overall health. Whether you’re working at a desk or lifting weights at the gym, taking care of your spine should be a top priority.

Here are 3 tips to help keep your spine healthy:

1️⃣ Practice Good Posture – Whether sitting or standing, always keep your back straight and shoulders relaxed. Poor posture can lead to long-term back pain.

2️⃣ Stay Active – Regular exercise strengthens the muscles that support your spine. Focus on core workouts, stretches, and low-impact activities like swimming or walking.

3️⃣ Ergonomics Matter – Adjust your workstation, car seat, and even the way you sleep. Support your back with ergonomic chairs and maintain proper alignment when sitting or lying down.

Your spine supports you every day—let’s return the favor!

Meet our new Nipissing student, Jacob who is with us for his 3rd year placement. Jacob gets to spend 50 hours with us (lucky him) so you may see him in and around the clinic! When you do, make sure you say hello 👋🏻

“My name is Jacob Ringma. I am in my 3rd year of BPHE at Nipissing University. A few things about me - I am from Terrace, BC (In the mountains). I love exploring and playing in the outdoors. A hobby I have that seems to surprise people is that I love to bake.

I chose to do my placement at Manual Physio Solutions to gain experience and help me on my goal to become a physiotherapist.”

Today at MPS, we recognize National Truth and Reconciliation Day - a time to honor Indigenous families and children impacted by residential schools and to commit to healing and justice 🧡

We’re back with another physio tip! 🔥❄️

We’ve had lots of clients recently ask us questions about if hot or cold therapy is best for their injury when this is actually extremely dependant on the type of injury and what’s happening in the body. Swipe to find out more 👉🏻

Today we wear yellow for World Su***de Prevention Day 💛💛 at MPS we believe that supporting mental health is just as vital as physical healing. Every life matters, and together, we can ensure every voice is heard.

It’s that time of year again! We would be so grateful if you could take the time to vote for our clinic under the physiotherapist and rehab clinics categories. We are so lucky to be surrounded by so many magnificent clinics in North Bay, any support is greatly appreciated!

PSA 📣 Martin is headed to the East Coast for some well earned R&R and family time! He will be back in the clinic to see you all on August 28th!

We love it when we have visitors at the clinic, especially when they’re as cute as this little one 🥹 feel free to bring in puppies to help with your physio treatment. They’re great stretching partners!

We love hearing feedback from our clients about their experiences and how we could do better. Sometimes they’re too good not to share. Thank you to the dedicated client who left this review.

Your kind words and appreciation is one of the reasons why we love what we do 😊

Martin is recently back from his adventure across the pond in Scotland! He experienced all seasons of weather in the highlands, golf at one of the oldest courses in the world, perfected Johnny Walker’s stride, and enjoyed great food and even better company!

He will be back treating patients in clinic on Monday 😊

P.S. ask him about the ‘hairy coo’s’ 🐮

Low quality picture, high quality people 😍

One exercise to help with back pain is a ‘beginner curl up’. This helps strengthen the core and back to prevent future pain. BUT ☝🏻 this exercise should only be done when your back pain has subsided.

Lie on your back with your hands under your lower back, slowly and carefully lift your head and shoulders to the ceiling, hold for 5 seconds, and lower back down. Do this 10 times twice a day.

If you continue to have persistent back pain or are unsure of doing the exercises, come in to see us so we can create a personalized program to accommodate your individual pain levels and physical conditioning.

Do you often get low back pain that isn’t easily explained? Well 80% of adults will experience low back pain at some point in their lives!

Want to know more or need help with your low back pain? Give us a call to book an assessment 📞

Hoppy Easter from all of us at MPS! 🐰 🩵🩷💜 we hope you have a safe and happy Easter and we will see you back on Monday!
