Hello Everyone, due to COVID-19, an unusual amount of us are still working from home. Since we are sitting at our desks for prolonged amounts of times, here are a few tips to make it more comfortable and ergonomically safe.

1. Make sure you sit tall with your chest high.
2. Adjust your chair so your thighs are parallel to the floor and your knees are aligned with your hips.
3. Make sure your monitor is in a position where your neck stays in a neutral position.
4. Place keyboard in a way where your forearms are parallel to the ground and elbows are by your side. Avoid unnecessary reaching.
5. Take time to move and stretch, every 30 to 50 minutes!

Happy Monday! We are back again with some more stretches. Today we will be focusing on upper body stretches you can do before gardening or doing any strenuous activity.

1. For your chest.
- While standing in a doorway, place your arms up on the door frame and lean in until a stretch is felt along the front of your chest and/or shoulders.
- Hold for 15 seconds.

2. For your sides.
- Extend your right arm over your head and bend to the left from the waist.
- Once you feel a stretch, hold for 15 seconds and switch sides.

3. For your back.
- Start in a seated position with legs crossed.
- Next, bend forward and place your hands on the floor. Walk your hands forward until you feel a gentle stretch along your back
- Hold for 15 seconds.

As discussed in the last post, here are two lower body stretches you can do before gardening to prevent injury.
1. For your hamstrings.
- While seated, rest your heel on the floor with your knee straight and gently lean forward until a stretch is felt behind your thigh.
- Maintain a straight spine the entire time. Bend through your hips.
- Hold for 15 seconds.

2. For your quads.
- While in a standing position, bend your knee back behind and hold your ankle/foot.
- Next, gently pull your knee into a more bent position until a stretch is felt on the front of the thigh.
- Hold for 15 seconds.

Hello Everyone,
We are happy to say we are open and back with some new content. The pandemic has changed a couple of things at the clinic, but we can assure you that the quality of our services have remained the same. Our COVID-19 safety procedures will include reducing the amount of patients allowed in the clinic at a time, disinfecting after each patient, and masks are required for all. We also require patients to fill out a COVID-19 screening questionnaire and a sign-in sheet for contact tracing prior to getting treatment for everyone’s safety. Our physiotherapist and chiropractor are seeing patients, however the massage therapist will not be taking patients at the time.
For more information about COVID-19, visit Ontario’s COVID-19 page
We look forward to seeing you and stay safe!

A good pillow for sleeping should be comfortable to lay your head upon, but most importantly it must support your neck keeping it in alignment with the rest of your spine. A good quality, supportive pillow provides many benefits including a better night’s sleep, improved circulation, fewer aches and pains and even reduced snoring. Take your time and choose carefully. Your neck and back will thank you for it!
