Full moon in May brings POLARITY, and could be an emotional time. You might be questioning yourself- do I transform or do I stay where I am and form a concrete path? You might also notice that you are struggling between sharing yourself, your posessions, your ideas. This is all due to the polarity of where the moon is positioned this month. If you notice this struggle between emotional opposites, try to go inward and make a pact with your emotions…let it all out, express yourself, notice the polarity battles inside of you and release it all with this full moon.

Travelling? Consider a Pet Sitter
Arranging for pet care while you’re away can feel like an overwhelming decision. It’s important to look for caregivers who will not only provide for basic needs like food and water, but also companionship, reassurance, and playtime while you’re away. If you can find someone to come to your home, your pet gets to stay in his familiar surroundings, which is less stressful than taking him to a new location. You and your pet should feel comfortable about the care arrangements, so you can enjoy your vacation without worry!
Sound Healing for Better Sleep
Sound healing uses sound and vibration to promote healing and balance in the body, and one of its many benefits is improved sleep. It helps improve sleep by: 1) Relaxing the body – releases pain-relieving chemicals and reduces muscle tension. 2) Reducing stress and anxiety – reduces sympathetic nervous system activity. 3) Calming the mind – promotes peaceful and restful sleep. 4) Improving sleep quality – waking feeling more refreshed and having less difficulty falling asleep. 5) Creating a peaceful environment – helps improve mood. 6) Regulating the circadian rhythm (your internal biological clock) – can help avoid insomnia and improve the sleep/wake cycle.
Acupuncture for Anxiety
If you are struggling with anxiety, acupuncture can be a game-changer. Researchers found that just eight weeks of acupuncture treatments significantly reduced symptoms of a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Acupuncture can help relieve anxiety symptoms by: reducing stress hormones like cortisol; increasing levels of serotonin, the happy hormone; regulating the autonomic nervous system; and calming the mind and promoting relaxation. Acupuncture has been used for centuries as a traditional Chinese medicine to treat various ailments. Most patients find their acupuncture visits extremely therapeutic, and some even fall asleep during the session. If you’re looking for a natural way to seek relief, give us a call today to schedule an appointment.
Speaking and Complete Dentures
New dentures (whether complete or partial dentures) can sometimes change your speech…for a few days, and in some cases weeks. The tongue is a muscle, and all muscles in our body have a “memory”. Therefore, your tongue may need some time to adjust to its new surroundings. By speaking and/or reading aloud, your tongue will become familiar with the new thickness of the acrylic, the frame (with partial dentures), as well as the tooth placement and size. Soon enough your speech will be back to normal. Contact your denturist if you have speech difficulties lasting more than a few weeks.
Workplace Posture for Injury Prevention
Many injuries that physiotherapists treat are not from trauma but rather poor body mechanics associated with prolonged sitting (ie. neck and back pain). Here are some tips that can improve workplace ergonomics, decreasing stress on these structures while sitting. Feet should be flat, knees 90 degrees, thighs supported and hips all the way back in the chair. Backrests should support the natural curve of your spine. Chin tucked slightly and head centered. Some tools to help include telephone headsets, adjustable computer monitors and footrests. Sit-stand work stations can be beneficial and support the recommended 20 min sitting, 8 min standing and 2 min of movement for every 30 min of work.
Eye Care for Teenagers
Teenagers are still developing so it’s very important that they receive proper eye care to ensure the best possible vision heading into adulthood. Teens should have proper vision testing during the school years to catch potential issues such as astigmatism, convergence insufficiency, and other binocular vision issues that may cause more problems as they get older. Observant teachers may alert parents to unachieved learning and behavioural milestones that might have a vision basis. Encourage your teens to wear sunglasses with UV protection and to protect their eyes when playing sports or using tools and equipment.

Suffering from Lyme Disease?
Lyme is fast becoming a Manitoba epidemic. How do you get Lyme disease? From a deer tick passing a bacteria called Borrelia Burgdorferi into your bloodstream. This bacteria weakens your immune system, allowing diseases to enter the body. “Many people are infected by nymph ticks, but don’t suspect Lyme disease because they don’t recall being bitten. In fact, 50% of people infected don’t remember being bitten and LESS than 50% of people will get any over-emphasized rash” (Source – CanLyme.com). If you are noticing increasing health problems lately, you may have Lyme disease. One way to improve your immune system is with Bioresonance Therapy. This therapy involves sending healthy frequencies into your body. These frequencies increase the body’s energy and consequently improve your health.
