Are you curious about Acupuncture? 🤔 Here is an Acupuncture session for a patient who has been suffering from neck and TMJ (jaw) pain for many years that eventually led to unbearable migraines and vertigo. Dr. Michelle Kang has identified that her TMJ and cervical spine were 'locked' and muscles were strained! Just with a few sessions of Acupuncture, Active Release Therapy and Spinal Manipulations, the patient started feeling much better overall! Wish she would have come to us earlier!

Did you know that kinesio tape can help with postural correction?! ✔️ Kinesio tape is a simple therapy that can help correct muscle imbalances associated with poor postural habits, which play a huge role in why we end up with aches and pains after sitting, slouched-over, at our desk all day. The tape is applied with a specific tension in a specific direction that will enhance proprioceptive feedback. Every time you slouch forward in poor posture, the tape cause a pull and serve as a gentle reminder to correct your posture.
This taping by Dr. Shejza Mino was done to help provide relief for neck pain. Relieving tension in the muscles of the neck may help ease headache symptoms.
We have kinesio tape available for sale at 70 University Ave!

Dr. Shejza Mino @mino.health shows us how to get our hearts pumping for the weekend! 🤸♂️
Here is a quick, equipment free, cardio routine you can try at home! Complete each exercise for 45 seconds/3x each. For more of a challenge, try to complete this circuit 5x!
It is well established that consistent exercise helps to improve mood, energy levels and overall health & well-being. Additionally, moderate-intensity exercise is a natural way to release endorphins.
Although research states that continuous exercise for at least 30-minutes is needed to release these desired endorphins, however it doesn’t mean anything less isn’t beneficial! The key is to get your heart rate & breathing speed up, and keep both elevated, for the entire duration of your routine.
Nothing is more mood boosting than breaking a sweat to your favourite tunes! 💪 Let us know how it goes!

Good morning #toronto . Please see below for an important message from Emkiro RMT Vivian regarding #posture and rounded shoulders.
・・・
Spending long hours sitting often leads to tight chest and shoulder muscles, and weak back muscles. The tightening of these muscles results in a rounded shoulder posture.
.
Here is an exercise to help open up your chest and strengthen your back muscles.
.
👉🏽 Keep your whole back flat on the wall, keep your core engaged so you’re not arching your low back or sticking your chest out. Adjust how far away your feet is from the wall to ensure you maintain a flat back.
.
👉🏽 Start with your arms at a 90 degrees angle to the side bending at the elbow. Try your best to keep your arms and forearms flush to the wall.
.
👉🏽 Slowly straighten your elbow and guide your hands up towards the ceiling - still trying your best to keep arms and forearms on the wall.
.
👉🏽 You may not be able to fully straighten your arms - stop the movement if your low back leaves the wall or your shoulders straight coming up towards to your ears. This is your maximum.
.
👉🏽 Slowly return back to the starting position.
.
Hope this exercise helps with any postural pain! If you are experiencing any type of muscle aches and pains - please contact me for more information ☺️
.

Hey there 👋🏼 It’s been a little while but I have another time lapse for you!
As some of you already know, I went back to work this week 💆🏻♀️ You might be wondering how is this possible? And what are they doing to keep me safe?
Here are some of the things that we are doing to keep everyone happy, healthy and safe.
✅Enhanced cleaning protocols
✅Use of surgical/procedure masks and changing to a new one in between each massage
✅Changing linens, pillows, blankets after each massage (we’ve always done that)
✅Rigorous disinfecting of stools, treatment tables, face cradles, door handles, light switches, clothing hangers, lotion bottles and chairs
✅Removing any items that cannot be cleaned and disinfected in between treatments
✅Frequent hand washing
✅PPE and Infection prevention control training completed by the RMT
😃I hope this answers some of your questions and if you have any others, I’d be happy to answer them for you too.
🙏🏼A big thanks to those of you who saw me this week and made it a joy to be back, and to those of you who are not ready yet; go outside, get some Vitamin D and I’ll be looking forward to our next visit. ❤️
