Summer is officially here! We especially feel it with this heat wave 🌞 Please remember to stay hydrated to avoid dehydration, which can happen quickly in these conditions. Find water a little boring? Mix it up by adding lemon, cucumber or berries for additional nutrients and flavor. It's also a healthy substitute for juice.

Many people wait until they are sick or in pain to take care themselves. Your health is very previous - take care of it, always.

It's that time! Check your posture - stand up and stretch if you can. Good posture is important to maintain throughout the day. Check in and see how you're doing.

Neck Stretches (UFT and Levator scapulae muscles)

Some of the reasons these muscles can become tight are: poor posture, lack of stretching or improper strengthening.

Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, 3 times on each side. Remember to breathe.

Choose progress, not perfection. Small steps lead to significant changes.
I often find people are hard on themselves when they are starting something new along their health journey. It might be starting regular Chiropractic adjustments, adopting a healthier diet or starting or restarting a exercise regime. It is important to celebrate the wins and small things, as they add up in the long run. Keep going, you can do it!

No matter how busy life gets, make sure you and your body stay healthy. Respect, take care, love and nourish your body. Our health is something very precious and should not taken for granted.

It is the simple things done consistently that help support your health. Move your body in the way most appropriate for you, stay hydrated, make healthy food choices - done daily, this adds up to a big overall impact on your body and mind.

Hopefully this never happens to you but if it does, even minor fender benders can cause unexpected injuries that may worsen over time if left untreated. These injuries may lead to complications like arthritis, degeneration, and other forms of damage.
Therefore, I offer a hassle-free payment approach, with insurance companies paying directly (MVA). I can also refer you to other practitioners for complementary treatments, such as acupuncture, massage, or physiotherapy, to enhance your overall care.
