❄️ Snow Day Alert! Stay Safe While Shoveling! ❄️

Whether you enjoy winter or just tolerate it, shoveling is a part of life in snowy climates! But if done incorrectly, it can lead to serious back, neck, and shoulder pain.

Before heading outside, check out The Dos and Don’ts of Safe Shoveling to protect your back this winter:

✅ Pick the right shovel – an ergonomic one with an adjustable handle is best!
🚫 Don’t bend or rotate your back – lift with your legs, not your spine.
🔥 Warm up first – cold muscles are more prone to injury!
⏳ Pace yourself – take breaks every 10–15 minutes.
❌ Don’t toss the snow – walk it over and drop it off instead.
👉 Push the snow instead of lifting when possible!

For more tips on preventing back pain or if you're feeling sore after shoveling, check out our blog here.

Stay warm & safe out there!

Exercise & Chronic Pain: A Surprising Solution 💪

If you’re dealing with chronic pain, the idea of exercising might seem counterintuitive—why move more when you're already in pain? But the truth is, the right kind of movement can be one of the most effective tools for pain relief.

From boosting endorphins (your body’s natural painkillers) to improving mobility and sleep, exercise can play a crucial role in helping you feel better and move with more ease.

Check out our latest blog post to learn how exercise can help manage chronic pain and discover gentle movement options to get started!

👉

We look at why exercise for chronic pain has the potential to help with pain management instead of causing it.

🌹 It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend and client, Denise. As a beloved member of our community, Denise was much more than a client—she was a cherished friend and a veteran who served our country with pride.

Denise brought joy to our clinic with her vibrant spirit and great sense of humor. Whether it was her generosity towards her neighbours or her unwavering support for local causes, she made a lasting impact on all of us. We will always remember her laughter, especially her playful banter about being the neighborhood watch, fully informed on everything happening around us.

Denise adored her dog Nash, and we know how much she meant to her. Our hearts go out to everyone who loved her, and we are committed to honouring her memory. As promised, we will be creating a plaque in her honor at our clinic, a testament to her kindness and the legacy she leaves behind.

Rest in peace, Denise. You will be deeply missed, but your spirit will forever remain in our hearts. ❤️
