Hip Mobility for Pain Prevention
Hip mobility is essential for maintaining proper alignment and preventing pain in other areas of the body. Tight hips can often lead to lower back or knee pain, as the joints above and below compensate for the lack of mobility in the hips. To prevent this, it’s important to incorporate hip mobility stretches into your Physiotherapy program. With effective customized treatments for improving hip mobility, we can help reduce pain in other areas of the body and improve your overall function and movement. Remember, it’s all in the hips!
Seniors Need Connection & Support
Researchers have found that loneliness is just as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes per day. Many Canadians may not be aware of the connection between loneliness and poor nutrition and the other serious health implications. With concerns around food security and affordability also being top of mind in Canada, we know our senior population is at a higher risk for both. As an organization dedicated to caring for older adults, Home Instead is urging Canadians to join the effort in ensuring our senior loved ones are getting the care and nutrition they need and helping to end loneliness among older adults.
Plan for the Future
There are many conversations that families should have. One of those concerns your final wishes. Planning your funeral and cemetery arrangements in advance means you can discuss the options with family in a relaxed, stress-free environment. The other conversation is planning for your future health care. If you were sick and couldn’t speak for yourself, would your family know your wishes? You might be surprised by the space between what you want for future care and what your loved ones think you want. It’s important that they know your values, what is meaningful in your life, and how you would like decisions to be made.

Product Review: Utrition
Utrition allows you to take action on your nutritional needs, based on your own DNA. This simple and affordable, personalized nutritional formula is made for you using your own SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), which are DNA sequence variations that are unique to you. These are then used to analyze and build a nutritional formulation exclusively for you, by your unique genetic code, built into your DNA. Utrition takes the guesswork out of which vitamins and supplements to take by using your DNA, which can reveal your body’s precise nutritional requirements. Those nutritional requirements are then used to create your own precise nutritional formula.
Reiki Really Works
Reiki is an energy healing treatment that works holistically on the whole body, mind, and spirit. Natural healing vibrations are transmitted through the hands of a Reiki practitioner to the body of the recipient. Reiki treatment can relieve stress and pain, induce relaxation, release emotional blockages, accelerate natural healing, balance subtle energies, and support other medical modalities, including traditional therapies. Reputable medical facilities are now offering patients alternative healing programs such as Reiki and are analyzing the benefits and submitting them for review and compilation. Look at your options on how you can learn Reiki to experience personal healing and to help others.
Detecting the Root Cause
Bioresonance therapy is a cause-oriented therapy that allows people to look for and focus on the root causes of illness and disease, giving them a tool to help look after themselves. Illness and disease can be caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites, mold, and even heavy metal exposure. These harmful factors create disturbances in healthy body systems, and Bioresonance therapy can help detect and manipulate such factors to bring the body’s cells back into their natural vibration frequency. Reducing toxin and stress loads on the body can help bring it back to its self-regulating mode for improved healing and repairing ability.
