No, it’s not a whoopee cushion! This here is a No, it’s not a whoopee cushion! 
This here is a Hot Water Bottle. 
Back in the day, every household had one in their medicine drawer to help with aches and pains and cramps. 

But we know that treating pain properly requires Mobility! Not just heat and rest. 

So my question to you is: 
🤨If you’re suffering with a back pain or a shoulder ache, are you going to reach for the hot water bag and ‘rest it off’ or will you reach out to a good Physio clinic to get worked on? 😀

As we approach the weekend, let’s take a moment As we approach the weekend, let’s take a moment to reach out to one another and just... talk. 
Let’s be there for each other. You never know who’s life you might change or who’s life you might save. 

Health care workers such as physiotherapists and other rehabilitation professionals are always listening to patients concerns and life struggles to offer support and compassion. 

Movement and emotional state are unarguably connected. The endorphins released in your blood stream from doing exercises and being active help improve your current mood and outlook on life. Studies show that tactile stimulation of massage therapy eases anxiety and improves sleep.

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 😷

🥰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 grandm 💕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 t 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.
