Richmond St. Wellness Centre

Physiotherapists do amazing work. We are so thankful to have our amazing physiotherapist Sandra Manherz working with us. She is exceptional at what she does!

Happy National Physiotherapy Month! This month, the CCA is celebrating and showing our appreciation to our physiotherapy friends and colleagues. We stand with the physiotherapy community Canadian Physiotherapy Association/Association canadienne de physiothérapie in its advocacy toward making real and lasting contributions to the health of Canadians.

As we approach Easter and Passover this weekend, we will be closed on Friday April 15th and Sunday the 17th but we will be open Saturday and Monday. Enjoy your long weekend!!

We have wonderful news! We are excited to welcome our new Naturopath Dr. Gayamali Karunaratna to RSWC. Dr. Gayamali will begin working Tuesdays and Saturdays. More info to come over the next few days! Stay tuned.

As the mask mandates are lifted Monday in the majority of settings, we want you to know that it does not apply to health care settings. Our clinic is continuing to follow the same protocols. We will remain wearing masks and patients are required to keep wearing masks while in the clinic. As of now, the province has set April 27th as the date the mask mandate will be lifted in heath care.

A cold, long winter has left many of us with increased spine, muscle and joint problems. During the pandemic, some of us have either put off dealing with these problems, had challenges accessing care or both.

As Ontario’s pandemic restrictions begin to ease - and with spring just around the corner - we’re starting to move more. Many of us are going back to the office and getting outdoors for exercise (or at least planning to do so).

A chiropractor can assess and determine the best plan of management for your spine, muscle, or joint issues – and help you prepare for your spring activities. This management plan may include chiropractic care, home advice regarding exercises and referrals to other providers where appropriate.

Perhaps you’ve never visited a chiropractor and are considering booking your first appointment. Here’s what to expect on your first visit to a chiropractor: https://ecs.page.link/uw3xM

I hope you are finding a way to relax and enjoy your long weekend. Happy Easter! If you need some inspiration, my cat Eli can give you some tips...

Doug Ford has just announced that that we are returning to a stricter shut down as a result of the increasing numbers of COVID. Do not worry, we are considered essential services and will remain open. We are diligently disinfecting and cleaning and continuing all of our protection protocols. We are here to take care of you during this stressful time.

Your chuckle for the day!

A nod goes out to the many amazing women that we are blessed to know. To your strength, kindness, humour and wisdom we wish you Happy International Women’s Day!

We want to let everyone know that after Doug Ford’s announcement today we are still open and treating. Despite the stay at home order, you are still allowed to attend medical appointments. We are still being very diligent with all our COVID protocols keeping our clinic a safe place to receive care.

We are very excited to introduce a new therapist to our team! Ying Li is an Acupuncturist and RMT that has been practicing for over 27 years. Her treatments involve a combination of acupuncture and massage and may also include cupping, scraping or electro-acupuncture. She tailors the treatment specific to each patient to get the best results. Ying is a personable and dedicated therapist and can speak fluently in both English and Mandarin Chinese. Ying will be working Saturdays beginning January 9th. We feel very lucky to have Ying join our RSWC family!

We hope that everyone enjoyed their Christmas and that they made every effort to keep safe. We will be screening our clients before they enter the clinic to ensure that they followed the guidelines for social gatherings over the holidays. We ask that if you attended a larger gathering or spent time with people outside your bubble that you refrain from coming into the clinic until you know it is safe for you to do so. We want our clinic to remain a safe environment for us and our patients.

Your chuckle for the day...

We want to let everyone know that despite York Region going into lock down, we are still open. We are following all the appropriate protocols laid out by the government and our associations and our office COVID protocols have not changed. We are considered essential services and thus are not effected by the lock down measures. We are so happy to be able to continue making you feel better!

Your chuckle for the day!

We have taken your safety to the next level! We have invested in a HEPA air filtration system that on top of cleaning the air of allergens, chemicals and dust, it also filters viruses including COVID-19! This unit has a higher standard of particle filtration than an N95 mask and effectively filters nanoparticles as tiny as 0.015 microns. We want our clinic to be a safe place for you to come and receive treatment so we can continue to provide the best care we can!

It’s November and the first snowfall is upon us! We can’t hibernate, no matter how badly we may want to. Channel that inner child and remember how fun it can be!

We hate to admit it, but cold weather has arrived in much of Canada! The cold can have an impact on our muscles and tendons. Learn how to prevent stiffness and injuries this winter.
