PoNS™ Treatment
Thoracic Extension
Oftentimes we are spending our days bent over our computers or sitting at a desk. Sitting in these positions for too long can give you stiffness and/or pain in your mid back and neck. Counter these positions by doing a thoracic extension mobility exercise as shown in the video below!
Posture Exercises - Row
Another way to improve posture and strengthen the back - rows!
You can do this exercise at home using a resistance band by tying it to something sturdy at chest height.
Keep shoulders down, and squeeze them together as you end the movement.
Did you know? Posture can negatively affect digestion. When you are slouched over, your organs become bunched up, which can make it harder for the body to digest food?
Dynamic Stretching here we go! Prepare your hamstrings and calves for your next activity with this walking straight leg dip. As you step forwards, keep your toes pointed to the ceiling, and try and brush your hands along the floor. Be sure to keep your front leg straight to really feel the stretch on your hamstrings and calves. The more you lift your front foots toes off the ground, the more you will feel the stretch in your calves. Happy stretching! 😁

Ultrasound is a technique used in our clinic to assist in the recovery process, to help reduce swelling, promote healing, relieve muscle tightness and relieve pain. This is done through the head of the ultrasound machine transmitting ultrasound waves through the gel and into your deep muscle tissue and joints. This causes your muscles and joints to warm up, bringing more blood flow and nutrients to the injured area.
Dr. Vik Dhawan launched Apollo Chiropractic on July 21, 2003. From the time he was an undergrad and into grad school, he dreamed of creating his own practice in order to champion his beliefs and values regarding health care.
From childhood, Dr. Vik suffered from asthma and severe allergies. His condition required weekly allergy shots and regular use of an inhaler. He found that these treatments didn’t improve his condition over time but merely dealt with his symptoms. This motivated him to seek out more natural solutions to wellness.
As an active, athletic teenager, he also suffered from low back pain and discomfort that was always diagnosed as the ‘norm’ for sports-related pain. In 1996 he began to see a chiropractor and it was discovered that one of the bones in his lower back hadn’t formed properly and was the root of his suffering. With treatment, the pain began to ease and his stamina and performance in sports increased. He was so impressed with the results that he decided to become a chiropractor himself!
His personal experiences sparked a passion in Dr. Vik to get to the root cause of problems and to fix them rather than just masking the symptoms.
He came to realize that this approach impacts every facet of life, whether it be health, relationships, career, etc. Masking the symptoms only delays the inevitable and prevents people from experiencing true wellness. The root issues must be identified and addressed. Dr. Vik incorporated this philosophy into his practice to help Apollo’s patients get the most out of life.
Over the next few years Dr. Vik added massage therapy to the practice to complement chiropractic care and changed the name to Apollo Chiropractic and Wellness. We were in our first location for five and a half years until the clinic was forced to move due to continued growth. At that time, physiotherapy was introduced to the practice, allowing Apollo to have all three complementary services under one roof. The demand for our services continued to grow and we outgrew the new space in only two years. We then moved to our current location on St. Laurent Blvd. in May, 2011 and changed the name to Apollo Physical Therapy Centre to encompass all of the amazing services that we offer. We have also opened a second location at 1300 Baseline Road in Nepean.
