August is Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Awareness Month, a time to focus on this genetic disorder affecting motor function. SMA causes progressive muscle weakness and can impact mobility and respiratory function. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing SMA, helping to maintain muscle strength, flexibility, and overall function. Regular physical therapy can improve quality of life and slow disease progression. If you or a loved one is affected by SMA, consult with our specialized physiotherapists for a tailored exercise program. Let’s raise awareness and support those living with SMA this month.

Preventing Overdose through Counselling
Overdose has become a reality for many individuals and families. Many social issues have contributed to the rise in drug use. While harm-reduction efforts have been successful in many ways, it is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach that works for everyone struggling. Counselling can be a support to those facing the possible impacts of substance use. Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches to counselling may be helpful in avoiding overdose. For family members counselling with a qualified professional may help to support your loved one through addictions and avoid overdose. Don’t wait to speak to a trained practitioner. Call Angie today.
