If you come into town on Brunel Road, allow extra time! The road is down to one lane over the bridge and is expected to be like that until the end of October.

🚧 Bridge Work Ahead 🚧

Starting in early June, the Locks Bridge on Muskoka Road 2 (Brunel Road) is getting a major upgrade to improve safety and extend its life.

👷‍♂️ What’s happening:
• Structural steel repairs and recoating
• Bridge deck and road resurfacing
• New guardrails and signs to improve clearance visibility

🚦 Expect single-lane traffic managed by automated signals, and Lockview Rd. will be closed with detours in place via North Mary Lake Rd. Some construction noise (including occasional weekends) is expected.

📍 Learn more about the project at: https://muskoka.cc/Huntsville-locks-bridge-rehabilitation

Thanks for your patience as we invest in safer roads for everyone!

The Huntsville MRI scanner is up and running!! What a great resource for our community.

A lot of the time the things they see on your MRI scan are “normal” and not something to panic about!

Many people WITHOUT back pain have "abnormal" things on their MRI. It's encouraging to see this radiologist's report mention these things. The good news is that in cases like this, surgery isn't necessary and a physical therapist can help you feel better and get moving again.

Back at work today after a big weekend of agility with my dog! Our first Ontario Regionals and he qualified to go to Nationals!!! Nationals is in Edmonton this year, so we won’t actually be going. But I am so thrilled that we qualified!!

Graduated activity - physical, cognitive, visual or vestibular - that produces mild symptoms is safe!!

Myth buster explained! This myth is FALSE!

Total rest can actually DELAY your concussion recovery. If a task brings on mild concussion symptoms, it’s okay to continue - as long as symptoms stay manageable. By working within your tolerance, you are helping the brain reconstruct neuropathways and improve resilience over time.
