Shoveling is one of the most demanding ""full-body workouts"" we do in winter.

To protect your spine, try the ""step and throw"" method instead of planting your feet and twisting your torso. When you twist while holding a heavy load, you put maximum pressure on your lumbar discs. Keep your core engaged, bend at the hips rather than the waist, and try to move the snow in smaller, manageable increments.

Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, February can feel long.

If you’ve noticed you’re hunching your shoulders against the wind or feeling a bit stiffer lately, you aren’t alone. This ""protective posturing"" is a natural response to the cold, but it can lead to tension headaches and neck strain.

Remember to take a deep breath, consciously drop those shoulders, and maybe try a few gentle neck rolls today.

January at the clinic is a time for intention and preparation.

From reviewing intake forms to preparing treatment rooms, a lot of care happens before your appointment even begins. Completing your forms in advance helps us better understand your needs and plan your visit with care and attention.

If you’ve had any major changes in your health history, reaching out ahead of your appointment can also be helpful. It allows us to come prepared and support you more thoughtfully from the moment you arrive.

Sometimes care starts well before the treatment table.

We’re often asked about using insurance benefits for osteopathic care.

As members in good standing with the Ontario Osteopathic Association, we provide treatment receipts that may be eligible for insurance reimbursement. Coverage depends on your individual plan and carrier, so it’s always best to check your policy details directly with your provider.

If you have any questions, our team is always happy to help clarify.

In colder months, we often notice breathing feels a little more restricted and the upper body can feel stiff or heavy.

Limited rib movement can show up as shallow breaths, tension through the chest or upper back, or feeling like you can’t fully expand when you breathe.

Heidi Brouwer shares what rib mobility means, what it can feel like, and gentle ways to support movement and comfort during winter.

Supporting how your body moves and breathes can make a meaningful difference, especially during cold and flu season.
