Stay Limber and Pain Free
85% of our population will have an episode of disabling back pain at some point. Sedentary and sitting lifestyles are significant factors that reflect our busy lifestyles, commuting to work, driving kids around, sitting at a desk, etc. We’re meant to move; prolonged positions of any kind can be aggravating. Simple tips are to stretch in the morning before getting out of bed, use pillows between your knees while you sleep, get up and move at least once per hour. Both passive and active treatments are very important for back health such as physiotherapy, acupuncture, massage therapy, and exercise.

Listen to Your Body – and the World Around You
July 24 is International Self-Care Day – a reminder that taking care of yourself includes paying attention to your hearing health. Untreated hearing loss can lead to social isolation, cognitive decline, and emotional strain. Regular hearing checkups are just as important as eye exams or dental visits. Whether it’s turning down the volume, using protective gear in noisy environments, or exploring hearing aid options, small steps can make a big difference. Prioritize your hearing as part of your self-care routine and enjoy staying connected to the people and sounds that matter most. Your ears will thank you!

This July, take a load off—let With Love by Beccs handle the cleaning so you can focus on what matters most. Clean with care. Clean with love.
BodyTalk is Self-Care
Your body knows you better than anyone else. BodyTalk has the ability to get Yes/No feedback from the intelligence within you. The information gathered assists with communication and connection within. The BodyTalk system has a roadmap to lead the practitioner to the priority. Genetics, past events, emotions, energy systems, body parts and environment are all on this roadmap protocol chart. Even old beliefs may be contributing to the current unpleasant experiences within you. Specific techniques highlighted in treatment include tapping the information into your nervous system. Once aware, changes can be made.
Prioritizing Self-Care at Every Age
At Aspira Stonebridge Crossing, we believe self-care is essential at every stage of life. From nutritious chef-prepared meals and wellness programs to social events and serene spaces, our community is designed to support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Residents are encouraged to stay active, connect with others, and enjoy the activities they love—with support when needed and independence when desired. Whether it’s joining a yoga class, spending time in the garden, or simply enjoying a peaceful afternoon tea, self-care isn’t just a practice here—it’s a way of life. Because caring for yourself is always in season.
Prioritize You & Your Health…
True self-care goes beyond the occasional indulgence—it’s about intentionally supporting your whole self: body, mind, and spirit. That means nourishing foods, restful sleep, meaningful movement, and moments of stillness. At You and Your Health… First, I encourage you to check in with how you’re really feeling—physically and emotionally—and honour those needs without guilt. Whether that’s taking a break, setting healthy boundaries, or reaching out for support, self-care is not selfish; it’s essential. When you care for yourself intentionally, you’re better equipped to show up fully in every other part of your life. Let’s put your health first—together.
