💥🚗 Being in a car accident can be psychologically and physiologically stressful. 😥
🤕 Physiologically speaking, the most common injury associated with a car accident is ’whiplash’. Essentially, when a car is being impacted from behind, the seat exerts a force on the back of the driver/passenger while the head remains at rest, causing a ‘whiplash’ on your neck, spraining ligaments and straining your muscles.
🦵Other injuries will most likely occur e.g., the knee joint being forcefully impacted into the dashboard, or the driver’s wrists being hyperextended from being rear-ended. 🖐
🧠Lastly, concussions or brain injuries are also very common as a result of car accidents. Negatively affecting cognitive every day skills, disturbing sleep schedules, and balance skills.
Our experienced practitioners at Stoney Creek Physiotherapy & Massage approach MVA patients with the right protocols, tailoring individual treatment to restore pre-accident ROM and musculoskeletal strength.
🍁 In the province of Ontario treatment is covered no matter how minor you think your accident was. ➡️ We bill the insurer directly so that you are never out of pocket.

🦶Plantar Fasciitis👣 289-808-1989 📞

❓Dealing with heel pain? You might be suffering from plantar fasciitis, which involves inflammation of a thick band of tissue running across the bottom of your foot and connects your heel bone to your toes.

Your plantar fascia is in the shape of a bowstring, supporting the arch of your foot and absorbing shock when you walk. If tension and stress on this bowstring significantly increase, small tears can occur in the fascia.

🤔What are the main causes?
Flat feet or high arches, tight calves (which will shorten your achilles), obesity, high-heeled shoes, and standing for long periods of time.

👉At Stoney Creek Physiotherapy & Massage, our practitioners provide manual therapy to make your plantar fasciitis go away!

💦 If you’ve had a massage before, your RMT has likely encouraged you to slam water like it’s your job right after. But why? During a massage, many toxins you’ve been harboring are released. Great! Right? While it’s wonderful that your body is purging harmful toxins, they have to be released somewhere—and it’s believed to be right into your bloodstream.

💦 Here’s why you should hydrate post-massage:

❌ It Aids in Detoxification

Water helps purify your kidneys, and these organs help process key nutrients and toxins! The water flushes the free radicals released during a massage out and oxygenates your cells to help produce more of the good stuff.

🍶 It Kicks Dehydration to the Curb

Massages are dehydrating, and our bodies are 60% water! The squeezing that the massage therapist does during your appointment releases fluids from your muscle tissues and into your vascular system. That means that you have to restock up on all of the water you lost during your massage.

🗑️ Metabolic Waste

It sounds fancy, but really metabolic waste is just particles in our body that are of no use to us— and during a massage, they’re released at a much quicker rate than what our bodies are used to. Metabolic waste can constrict our muscles and lead to improper flow of toxin flushing. When you drink water, you give your muscles a chance to loosen-up and therefore release the tense muscles that hold waste.

🚰 Drink Water Pre-Massage

Yep. Pro tip! Drinking water before a massage can help just as much, if not more, than drinking post-massage! This will help your kidneys release the toxins as they work their way out of your muscles during your appointment.

💪 Prevent Excess Muscle Soreness

After a massage, it’s normal to feel a little sore in areas that the massage therapist focused on. Because of this, hydrating after a massage can help prevent excessive soreness. Do yourself a favor and add an extra glass or two to your normal post-massage amount if you’re still feeling a little tired or sore.
