Avoid the Winter Blues
The Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines suggest adults should perform at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, as well as two sessions of muscle and bone strengthening activities, to achieve physical AND mental health benefits. With winter coming, and the challenges of leaving home, this can seem daunting! Your physiotherapist can tailor an exercise program designed specifically for you to do inside with minimal space (to help avoid the cold weather!), and with equipment everyone has around their home. At 30 minutes per day, the benefits of exercise are countless, while the side effects are minimal.
Handling The Holidays
Whatever holiday you celebrate this season, even if you’re surrounded by family and friends, it can be stressful. Making sure that your body and mind can handle stress is the best gift that you can give yourself. One of the best ways to improve your overall health and stress-handling ability is through Bioenergetics. Bioenergetics uses computerized testing and treatment to effectively determine and treat any imbalance or weakness in the body that is preventing you from achieving both optimal stress management and improved health. This holiday season, make sure that stress isn’t an unwanted gift that you can’t give back.

Renew & Recharge for the New Year
As the holiday season and New Year approach, it’s the perfect time to prioritize wellness. Incorporating Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy into your healthcare routine can be a game-changer for managing seasonal stress, fatigue, and overall well-being. PEMF therapy works by stimulating cellular function, which enhances natural healing, improves sleep, and boosts energy levels—essential during the busy holiday period. This non-invasive therapy can also help reduce inflammation and relieve chronic pain, offering a fresh start to the new year. Embrace PEMF therapy as a proactive approach to self-care and feel renewed and resilient all season long.

It is done by rolling the foam roller or ball under the muscle group of choice, with the goal of massaging ‘trigger points’, which can help relax overactive muscles. An overactive muscle can lead to strength imbalances, which may lead to pain and dysfunction. Your physiotherapist can guide it’s use as a tool to help treat a multitude of injuries including shoulder or back pain and muscle strains.
