I love this!!! From a physio perspective having an exact diagnosis often doesn’t change our treatment plan, because we are treating the functional problems you are having. And in most cases the best thing we can do is get things moving!

A diagnosis validates your pain, but is it always the most useful option?

I think we could all benefit from a little of this at the moment. Self care is so important when we are worried or stressed.

Yoga for Heavy Hearts ♥️

This is a gentle practice created to hold you in moments when the heart feels tender, tired, or weighed down. Let’s take care. In this session, we’ll sit together, move slowly, and bring our awareness back to the breath. There is nothing to fix and nothing you need to change.

Simply notice.
Simply feel.

Allow this practice to be a quiet space where you can be with your heart just as it is. Take your time, move with kindness, and remember you are not alone. Share this session with a neighbor or friend. Wishing you peace in the midst of turbulent times.

I'm keeping an eye on the weather forecast for tomorrow (Wednesday) ........ I'm not a fan of driving in freezing rain, and I don't want my clients driving in freezing rain either ...........

⚠️ A potentially damaging ice storm is becoming increasingly likely for parts of Ontario starting late tonight into Wednesday.

While many areas enjoyed spring-like warmth this weekend and Monday, a sharp temperature divide is expected to develop across the province. That setup could lead to prolonged freezing rain in parts of Central and Eastern Ontario, with the Ottawa Valley currently looking like a potential hotspot.

Some areas could see significant ice accretion if the cold air holds on long enough.

There is still some uncertainty with the exact temperature setup, but the latest data is raising concerns about a prolonged icing event.

We’ve broken down the latest timing, expected ice totals and the areas most at risk in our preliminary forecast.

Our final forecast will be released later today so stay tuned!

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?
