Today we officially welcome Chantal to the LOW 🌳 team! She’s already busy at work and her clients are leaving with smiling faces (and happy feet). 😊🦶

Little Oak Wellness 🌳 continues to grow!

Say hello 👋 to Chantal, the third member of our foot care team. She will be offering her services starting next week and brings three decades of Nursing experience from numerous clinical settings - including Lake of the Woods District Hospital’s ICU & ER departments - with her.

Chantal was drawn to specialize in foot care because she wanted to increase her focus on preventative health. She understands the importance of addressing the seemingly small issues people have with their feet in order to avoid bigger problems (such as pain, infection and loss of mobility & independence) in the future. Proper assessment by a trained professional and regular foot health maintenance prevents lost time at work & having to skip the activities you enjoy as well as the need for more intensive treatments.

Our foot care team🦶offers services for clients of all ages, activity levels and health histories. To schedule an intake appointment with Chantal, book online at https://app.outsmartemr.com/online-booking/194 or call us at 807-468-WELL (9355).

Summer can’t come soon enough! ☀️

We are excited to be welcoming Alena Pochailo, RMT to LOW for the month of July when she returns home for a visit.

Born and raised locally, Alena began her massage therapy journey in 2009 and relocated to British Columbia in 2018. She’s looking forward to coming back to Kenora to provide her services within the community!

Alena has experience practising in spa, clinical & home-based settings and specializes in repetitive strain injuries with a focus on helping clients return to pain-free, active daily living. She uses techniques such as hot stone therapy, IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) and cupping therapy in her sessions.

To schedule a massage therapy appointment* with Alena, online booking is now open at alenapochailormt.noterro.com. Spaces are limited, so book early! 🌳

We are thrilled to be welcoming a talented team of Foot Care Nurses to LOW starting May 27th!

First up, we’d like you to meet Shannon. 👋

Shannon has almost 15 years of Nursing experience behind her in various settings including geriatrics and primary care as well as Nursing education and management. In 2018, she started her foot care journey by training with Foot Canada and now serves as a Foot Care Educator within their program. Shannon is committed to continuing education and ensuring the care she provides is aligned with best practices. She has taken additional training in compression therapy, infection prevention & control, diabetic foot care and Onyfix nail correction.

Shannon has been offering Foot Care Nursing services in the community through her private practice until now and is excited to bring her skills & expertise to Little Oak Wellness.

Foot health is incredibly important and often overlooked, especially in younger adults. Many issues can be prevented or detected early to avoid more serious problems that can affect activity level and independence. It is definitely worth booking an initial visit if any of the following apply to you:

🦶Diagnosed with diabetes, arthritis, neuropathy (nerve issues) or poor circulation

🦶Participation in high-impact sports that involve a lot of running/jumping

🦶Standing for prolonged periods of time (e.g. at work) or walking on hard surfaces regularly

🦶Poor-fitting footwear (pain/irritation from shoes, work boots, etc.)

🦶Foot/toe deformities or previous injuries

🦶Older age

LOW clients will now benefit from having access to a Foot Care team, which includes Andrea (our Chiropodist who specializes in more complex foot symptoms, disorders and treatments) as well as Foot Care Nurses. Collaboration among providers is so important because healthcare teams who share knowledge/skills and provide support for each other are able to offer enhanced services, which produces better outcomes and elevates patient satisfaction. 💚

To book with Shannon, please visit https://healedsole.janeapp.com/ /1 and stay tuned for our next introduction! 🌳

As Mother’s Day passes, we couldn’t think of a better time to have a chat about pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) and how physiotherapy can help both women AND men experiencing this fairly common condition.

The pelvic floor is a collection of muscles, nerves and connective tissue that work together to support the bladder, bowels and reproductive organs inside the lower abdomen. When this support system doesn’t work properly (e.g. muscle weakness), it can cause a variety of symptoms.

Risk factors for developing PFD include:

• Pregnancy & childbirth
• Hormonal changes related to menopause
• Older age
• Elevated Body Mass Index (BMI)
• Previous surgeries (e.g. hysterectomy or prostatectomy)
• Pre-existing health conditions (e.g. connective tissue disorders, diabetes, fibromyalgia)
• Chronic coughing or constipation
• Frequent heavy lifting at work or during exercise

Pelvic floor physiotherapy might be worth a try if one or more of the following apply to you:

✔︎ Pregnancy or recent childbirth
✔︎ Urinary or bowel “leaks”
✔︎ Urinary frequency
✔︎ Pelvic/hip/low back pain
✔︎ Pelvic organ prolapse (vaginal bulge)
✔︎ Painful in*******se or sexual dysfunction (e.g. erectile dysfunction)

Visit us online to learn more about pelvic floor physiotherapy and what you can expect during your session. To book an appointment with Sam, our physiotherapist, visit us online or give us a call at (807) 468-9355. 🌳

🌟🌟New Practitioner Introduction🌟🌟
We are very happy to Welcome Eric to our Little Oak Team. He will be offering Virtual Psychotherapy services.

Hi!
My name Eric and I am psychotherapist. Basically, I am here to work with you to get to the roots of what is standing in your way from achieving your goals. We do this through a combination of conversation and equipping you with new tools to make different choices for yourself. What you bring to the table is the power of your lived experience and your intuition.
The core values I encourage us to work with are integrity, collaboration, and commitment.
If you would like to know more, the best thing is to book a “discovery call” through LITTLE OAK WELLNESS where you can ask all the questions you need to. You can email me at eric@littleoakwellness.ca or leave me a message at the clinic. At the same time, you can see my availability for paid sessions through the centre's webpage.
Really looking to connecting when you feel the time is right.
