Yep, another day and another cervical shift. 😩

Yep, another day and another cervical shift. 😩
8/10 pain and tingling running down the arms and an inability to turn the neck. It’s just awful 😔

We have seen so many of these cases this year, specifically since April 2020 when people started working from home or just being at home jobless 😭😭😭

🤲We are here to help you through this painful time.
🤲We are here to promote wellness and well being to get you through this unprecedented time.

🌎As we have seen around the world, health is vital to our #mentalheath and to the people around us. Let’s make some moves to achieve better health during this pandemic 😷

One more day and that’s a wrap! ✨

🥰Here we are, the rehab staff only including our amazing Physio intern, Tristan, wishing our #mechphysio family a Merry Christmas! 🎅🌲🎅🌲

✨Even though we were closed for 3 months this year, we still managed to stick around, re-open, and safely provide Physio and rehab services to the community as well as provide an educational environment for Physiotherapy candidates.

✨Our team will always remember this year - the COVID year- where team work, determination and optimism were the driving forces to our survival as a health clinic in the middle of a pandemic.

💕As adorable as this picture is of a new grandma and her granddaughter 👶 we can’t help but notice the not-so-great posture that is often assumed when holding a newborn in cradle hold 🙄

👉 This asymmetric posture of the shoulders and upper back with the additional load of a 6-10 lb bundle of joy can lead to neck and shoulder pain really fast!

💁‍♀️So what should we do?? Take baby away from grandma?!?!? 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Or teach grandma some baby holding #ergonomics :

✅ Sit in a supportive chair (not the couch)
✅ Use a pillow or lumbar support behind your lower back
✅ Arch your upper back (push chest out)
✅ Hold baby evenly levelled on both arms
✅ Have both feet flat on the floor
✅ Alternate which side you hold baby’s head on as this is baby’s heaviest body part
✅ Hold baby on a pillow in your lap

ANYBODY GOT AN EXERCISE BAND?!?!

⚡️This is the simplest and best exercise to do for your forearms if you work:

✅ On a Laptop
✅ As a Cashier
✅ As a Cook
✅ As a Driver
✅ As a Hair Stylist

💪Strengthening your Tricep and forearm grip will prevent the painful and nagging condition that often plagues the professions above- #tenniselbow

💥Repetitive strain on the forearm is very common and over the years will lead to carpal tunnel, tendinitis, tennis elbow, golfers elbow. For some it will be a gradual onset and for others will be from day to the next.
