The team had a great afternoon last week, with lunch at the Cactus Club, followed by a fun time at Beyond Belief Escape rooms, right here in Vernon.

We worked together to solve the clues to escape from the Wizards Academy room, with just 2 minutes to spare!
Definitely a team effort!

I would certainly recommend this place, there are 5 different rooms to try

In 2019 1 billion were aged 60+ years
By 2030 1.4 billion will be aged 60+ years
By 2050 2.1 billion will be aged 60+ years

The pace of population ageing is much faster than at any time in history. The number of persons
aged 80 years or older is expected to triple between 2020 and 2050 to reach 426 million

What is healthy ageing?
Healthy ageing means staying active, maintaining relationships, and continuing to do the things
you value as you grow older.

Supportive environments that promote physical and mental wellbeing are essential for healthy
ageing.

(World Health Organization. Healthy ageing and functional ability. October 2020)

What promotes healthy ageing?

Having a healthy lifestyle throughout your life will help you reduce the risk of many chronic
diseases and improve your physical and mental wellbeing, such as:

• staying as active as your circumstances allow

• challenging your balance regularly

• staying socially connected

• keeping your joints and muscles moving

• eating as well as you can

(World Health Organization: Ageing and health. October 2024)

How can physiotherapy help?

Physiotherapists can advise on how to adopt a healthy lifestyle throughout your life, and offer
treatments and exercise plans to meet your changing needs.

They can:
• give you tailored exercises to maximise your physical function, including improving your
balance and muscle strength, and help build stronger bones

• help you maintain the ability to get up off the ground

• help with your recovery, and show you how to get moving again after surgery, injury or
illness

• manage pain to optimise your mobility

• help you recover from stroke or heart attack

• manage long-term conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and Parkinson’s

• reduce breathlessness and teach the best way for you to move

(Chartered Society of Physiotherapy: Keeping active - Advice on how to stay healthy and active from 50 to 60+)

It is never to late to start moving more, even a small amount can make a difference to your overall health.

Start small and stick with it, consistency is key to produce results.

As we fall back into fall and I reflect on a summer that seems so long ago, I just had to share my experience at Hyde Mountain Yoga & Wellness in Sicamous.

I attended my first ever yoga retreat and had an amazing time, connecting with a lovely group of ladies from across Canada, in fabulous surroundings, with daily yoga classes overlooking Mara Lake and a host of other activities including paddleboarding / kayaking, wine tasting, foraging, Tarot card reading, meditation, nutrition and walks.

The food was fantastic too.

Moving your body in any way at all is good, but this was more than that.

It was a great opportunity for being alone, but not alone.
With relaxing activities, but also quiet time and thinking space.

A few days not having to think about work, or what's for dinner, or anything at all.

The value of the retreat was so much greater than the sum of its parts.

I brought home with me the importance of self care, time to think without distractions, to just be in the moment and to sometimes just breathe...

Happy Halloween from us all!

Lots of visitors and great costumes!

What a great way to end the working week. It's hard to beat a good walk to clear your mind and relax.

Warm sunshine, a gentle breeze and amazing surroundings are a bonus!
Happy Weekend!

A recent research study following 701 people with low back pain for 3 years, showed fewer episodes of pain for those who walked up to 30 minutes, 3 times a week.

When we are in pain, it's normal to feel fearful of moving, but staying active really is the way to go.

As well as the general health benefits, such as cardio, bone health, weight control and mental health benefits, it's a win win!
