Spent some time today with coach extraordinaire to improve my deadlift technique. The deadlift is a very important move to master. Often times people with back pain have difficultly performing the movement pattern. They will bend over to grab something from the floor and exacerbate their pain further. Eventually this could lead to fear of bending foward. Tag someone who should improve their picking stuff off the floor technique.

Patient Notice
May 23, 2020

Dear Patient:

The Vancouver Spine Care Centre re-opened May 19th, 2020. It has been a pleasure to see many of you this past week and we look forward to seeing those we have not seen yet.

We have adapted to the new guidelines and procedures to carry on with our service to the community. So far, so good! We appreciate you calling for an appointment, arriving on time, wearing a personal protective mask and your wonderful spirit to carry on.

We opened, maintaining our usual business hours of operation from Monday to Saturday. Please call our office number 604-873-6029 to reach Michelle and schedule an appointment. You may also book online with Dr. Paul at www.greenwoodchiropractic.ca

To comply with social distancing rules, we have scheduled appointments in such a way as to reduce patient numbers in our reception area at any given time. Sometimes meeting up in a hallway may happen so we ask that you step to the side and pass each other in a respectful way. The best way to avoid issues is to wear a non-medical mask, as recommended by Dr. Theresa Tam (Chief Public Health Officer of Canada) and Dr. Bonnie Henry (BC Provincial Health Officer) during your chiropractic visit.

Sanitary cleaning of high touch spots, disinfecting of treatment tables after every patient, digital clinic record keeping, and enhanced doctor and staff safety protocols are being followed. Behind our face masks is a sincere smile and virtual hug to see you again soon.

Yours in Health,

Dr. Richard Hunter, Dr. Dean and Paul Greenwood and Michelle.

Exited to get back to work. I will be posting hours soon for Squamish Barbell and the Vancouver Spine Care Centre. Check back in for updates!

CLINIC UPDATE!

It's time for the start of some Squamish Barbell opening up(dates) - (the gym schedule updates are to follow in the coming days pending some critical clarification from key sources).
We are officially taking appointments in the clinic starting Tuesday May 19th. In the last 7 weeks some really fantastic things have come together. Joining our team is my long time friend and Registered Massage Therapist Lori O'Hare. Some fun background on our history as friends and colleagues... We went to Massage Therapy school together (grad class 2006) and sat together for most of our classes in those 3 years (we tested and trained the things we know on each other!), and we spent many of our weekends escaping the classroom to play in the outdoors. We then began our careers sharing a clinic room in Whistler from 2007-2009 until I moved to Squamish to open the gym/clinic. We even did our very first CrossFit session together in early 2008! Lori continued her practice in Whistler for several years before moving to Squamish where she has been working as an RMT out of North Yoga for the last 4 years. We are so excited to be bringing her onto the Squamish Barbell team full time to help cover my clinical mat leave, and then stay beyond. Between Jane, Lori and myself we have a full week availability for RMT appointments starting on the 19th. I will continue my schedule part time in the clinic until... well... I can't (I'll still be on duty with all my other behind the scenes jobs!). They will keep the RMT side of the clinic rolling and busy until I feel physically ready to work in the clinic again at which point I will fit myself back in the schedule.

Also on the 19th Paul's new and expanded chiropractic schedule will be up (soon... pending a few updates from his governing board), and Carlee's counselling schedule is also up!
Don't forget you can book on the CrossFit Squamish App from the App Store. If you can't find what you are looking for you can add your name to the waitlist, or email a practitioner directly. Each practitioner’s contact info is on the Clinic page of our website. Let’s get our bodies back on track after this life routine hiatus!

Ps The cutest thing she said was “I feel like I’m coming home” ❤️

To build on yesterday’s shoulder rehab video here is Sarah showing some lacrosse ball work. Spending a minute or two on these high payoff areas makes a big difference. Find some sensitive areas and gently work into them. Music:
