Mindfulness and Physiotherapy
What do mindfulness and physiotherapy have in common? First, what is mindfulness? Mindfulness is the awareness of our thoughts, feelings and movements throughout the day. Mindfulness teaches the art of letting our thoughts happen without judging them as positive or negative. Physiotherapy often deals with patients who are in pain which can be a combination of physical and mental factors. Stress is one of the mental factors that can negatively impact our nervous system by activating it and causing more pain. With our physiotherapy sessions we try to address the physical sources of pain but practicing mindfulness lets patients address the mental factors as well.

Staying Social with Hearing Loss
For someone with hearing loss, social situations are challenging. Help improve communication with them by following these simple tips: • Gain their attention before you begin talking. • Speak naturally & don’t shout. Speak distinctly, at a normal rate, using pauses to give the person time to process speech. • Keep your hands away from your face while talking. • Avoid sudden changes of topic. And if the subject is changed, tell them what you are talking about now. • Seat them where they can see as many faces as possible. • Check in. If you think your listener may not be following, convey the information again in shorter, clearer sentences.
DID YOU KNOW??
Fascia aka connective tissue is a three-dimensional web that spreads throughout the body and surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessel and organ. So, when a fascial restriction occurs due to a physical or emotional trauma, or a surgery, there is a binding down of the fascial system. This binding down of the fascia can create tremendous pressure in the body causing pain, limited mobility, and restricted range of motion. If you are struggling with pain or restricted movement, schedule yourself a myofascial release treatment, and get back to moving pain free. Help is just a call away.
