Headache? Try applying pressure to this point. Close your hand and place your thumb at the end of the crease created by your thumb and index finger. Open your hand and apply firm steady pressure to that point. #headache #acupressure #massagetherapy #physiotherapy #westboro #ottawa Sandra Rief, RMT

We will be closed Monday for Labour Day and will reopen on Tuesday. Emails and phone messages will be answered at that time. Stay safe and enjoy the last long weekend of the summer!

Feeling stressed? Try applying pressure to the Shenmen (spirit gate) point on your wrist. To find this acupressure point, draw an imaginary line down towards your wrist from between your ring and pinky finger to the wrinkles that your wrist makes when your hand is in flexion. Place your thumb in the valley formed by the two outermost tendons. Hold for 10-30 seconds. Use firm pressure. It may be uncomfortable but it shouldn’t cause pain.

Back Pain is one of the most common conditions we see in clinic. Unfortunately there are a lot of Myth's that circulate about Back Pain and how to manage it. ...Part of this is that our knowledge of these conditions is constantly evolving. It is also very common to hear people say things like "My back will always hurt because I have arthritis" or "Of course I have back pain, that's just part of getting older". Neither of these statements are true and with proper treatment and a tailored home exercise program most people can get relief from Back Pain. If you are experiencing Back Pain contact our clinic at 613-444-5584 so we can help you get back to full function!
