📚Back to school season is here — which means backpacks are back and even our most loyal patient is geared up! 🎒

As kids head back to school, keep these spine-friendly tips in mind:

✔️ Choose a backpack with padded straps and waist strap
✔️ Keep the weight under 10-15% of the child’s weight
✔️ Wear both shoulder straps — not just one
✔️ Pack the heaviest items closest to the back
✔️Adjust straps so the backpack sits snugly against the upper back

Also, a friendly reminder that we will be closed Monday, September 1st for Labour Day, and will reopen as normal on Tuesday, September 2nd!

Wishing everyone a great long weekend, and safe return to school!

Stiffness. Pain. Limited range of motion. If reaching overhead or behind your back feels nearly impossible, you might be dealing with frozen shoulder.

At CHC, our practitioners work together to reduce pain, restore movement, and help you regain control.

Early treatment is key, don’t wait for it to “thaw” on its own!

Head online and book an assessment today.
