I began my working career in 2003 as an air traffic controller, where I was in charge of the safety of thousands of passengers and crew daily. As the years went on, I became emotionally numb because of the on-job stressors I was experiencing and my work environment. I could not understand why I felt...

We know it ....

Când celebra epidemie de gripă spaniolă a ucis mii de oameni în 1918, Joseph Pilates a observat că niciunul dintre cei care s-au antrenat în formațiunea sa fizică nu a fost infectat.
Astăzi, nu am văzut nicio reclamă la tv sau în media despre mâncare sănătoasă, hrană și apă vie, schimbarea stilului de viață, gândire pozitivă, mișcare (orice tip de activitate fizică) și stare de bine în general.

Se închid sălile de sport, suntem forțați să respirăm într-o mască, ne închid în case în media se vorbește doar despre boală și moarte...exact opusul a ceea ce un corp sănătos are nevoie ca să rămână sănătos și să trăiască în armonie.
Într-o eră a ipohondriei și a panicii absolute, soluția este autoeducarea minții pentru prevenirea bolilor și a bunăstării psiho-fizică.

(Anna Devi)

When the famous Spanish flu epidemic killed thousands in 1918, Joseph Pilates noticed that none of those who trained in his physical training had been infected.
Today, I have not seen any commercials on TV or in the media about healthy food, food and living water, lifestyle change, positive thinking, exercise (any type of physical activity) and well-being in general.

Gymnasiums are closed, we are forced to breathe in a mask, we are locked in houses in the media there is only talk about illness and death ... the exact opposite of what a healthy body needs to stay healthy and live in harmony .
In an age of hypochondria and absolute panic, the solution is self-education of the mind to prevent disease and psycho-physical well-being.

The power of the Schroth Method for managing scoliosis under Susie’s skilled direction ...this is the before and after xray of a 15 year old dedicated girl. Susie says “ you get out of this work what you put into it ...just 6 weeks after her first of 3 Schroth sessions this teenager had a 2 degree improvement in her thoracic curve ! We could not be more proud of her commitment to her treatment in clinic and home work “ ! # schrothmethod

Wonderful to start out year with this lovely message from a longstanding client Mrs S.D. which I am posting with her permission and our thanks, today.

"Hi Siobhan. Happy New Year to you and team.I have been a client at Trimetrics now for a number of years and often kid about being a “Trimetrics Lifer”. The truth is Trimetrics has made my life better. By strengthening my body I can better manage or even avoid pain and this gives me peace of mind and nothing is better than that!

I am really grateful to you and your staff for following the strict protocols that allow me to safely continue with my Pilates class during this Covid pandemic. I am sure there are some who complain about the restrictions but rest assured for every complaint there are many others who appreciate the safety and well being that following the protocols provides."

Hi all ! A roller coaster weekend ...incomplete information from VCH had us cancel out groups this week BUT some forensic phone calls to our local health inspector assured us we are 100% clear to offer our small groups given we are a healthcares care facility. Also we are NOT required to undergo an inspection.
So back to class y’all ! We totally understand some people made other plans for this week so we will credit your account for Jan term. Breathing again ....!

Hi friends and clients.
Today is World Mental Health day :Wanting and sensing the great need to offer a tool for self care, self regulation, self calming in these intense times, I felt this was the day to take my new website live.
www.meditationasmedicine.ca
My sincere thanks to the gifted Stephanie Seaton ( www.unlimited-vision.com ) who really delivered the feel I wanted . It was a joy and a lot of fun, to work with her on every step. Let me know what you think and fire me any comments or questions. Meditation is an easy effortless tool for stress management and I am ready to guide anyone who is curious.

We are experiencing some cancellations daily for symptom related reasons ( “ I woke with a sore throat etc ).
We will as policy now, offer you the option for a telehealth session in lieu of in person visit at the same time as your booked appt or another time if needed : this way your care plan won’t miss beat ! We can offer this for physiotherapy and private Pilates sessions. We had lots of practice during the lockdown and patient satisfaction was very high. If you or your therapist feels that a tele session is not appropriate for your needs we will of course defer your appt until you feel ready to come in.While one to one in person treatment is always best and our preference, the research on tele-health sessions is very positive and is an emerging trend world wide in our profession : even strokes can be managed this way and Charlene our neurology physio, has been caring for some patients this way already with good results.https

If you've had a stroke, you may find it hard to get out to your rehab appointments. If so, check to see if your hospital system provides tele-rehab services, so you can stay home while you recover.
