I don’t know about you, but this winter has been hard!! I try to get out every day with my dogs for a long walk to help me see the beauty that winter brings, even if it also means a lot of work!

What do you do to help you get through the winter?

Almost all of my new clients last week had injured themselves slipping on ice..... this winter has been very icy so far. If you are walking outside, make sure you have some kind of traction device on your shoes!

Do you have shoulder pain? I can help with that!!!

Are you suffering with a shoulder issue? There is a lot of research that shows how surgery can be avoided with proper exercise. Even those dealing with rotator cuff tears can benefit from seeing a physical therapist.

Sometimes we still have pain after the tissues have healed, this is a great explanation as to why that can happen.

What a great resource. Let’s keep our emergency rooms just for emergencies.

Did you know virtual urgent care is available over the holidays? While our Emergency Departments remain open 24/7, a virtual appointment with an urgent care clinician may be the right option for you if you meet all the criteria.
Visit https://regional-virtual-urgent-care.ca/ to check your eligibility and book your virtual appointment.
This is a great collaborative project between Ontario Health Teams, including our Muskoka Almaguin OHT.

I think it's going to be a snowy winter! If you want to be in the best shape for shoveling, send me an email or call the clinic and ask for me by name to make an appointment!

Are you ready for snow shovelling season?
Don’t spend your whole winter injured, let us help you prepare!
You can shovel snow without hurting your back and shoulders, we can show you how!
There are still assessment spaces available before Christmas. Book today!

Research continues to show that many of the things seen on imaging are “incidental findings” …… things that are there but aren’t causing a problem. So, don’t panic if your MRI shows “changes”.
