New Year, New Wisdom Wednesday! We would like to start 2021 off with allowing you to get to know us a little better. Who are we? up: the first voice you hear on the phone or face you see at the door, Maria!... Maria is originally from Glasgow, Scotland. She moved to Canada with her husband, Chris, in 2010. Maria has worked in medical administration since arriving in Brockville, first at the reception desk of Podium Sports Therapy Clinic and has been at Belanger Chiropractic as our Office Manager since opening day in July 2015. Maria will be the first person you speak to when you call to book an appointment and prides herself on the relationships she builds with our patients. She ensures our office runs smoothly from answering calls, booking appointments, ordering inventory and making sure all paperwork is up to date and taken care of on a daily basis. When she isn’t at work, Maria can be found at home with her family. Her husband, 6 year old son, and 7 year old rescue dog Mikka keep her busy!

BBBRRR! It’s a chilly one out there! Sidewalks and roads are slippery today! As you move around outside, please be mindful of these conditions. Almost 8,800 of fall-related injuries across Canada last year occurred as a result of people slipping on ice, CIHI data showed.... Your best line of defence is ‘The Penguin Shuffle’ Keep your knees loose. Extend arms to the side to keep your balance and lower your gravity centre. Keep your hands out of your pockets, so you can break your fall with your hands if you start to slip. Spreading your feet out slightly like a penguin while walking on ice increases your stability. When we walk, our legs’ ability to support our weight is split mid-stride. To walk on ice, keep your centre of gravity over your front leg. Take short steps or shuffle for stability. If you fall backwards, make an effort to tuck your chin, so your head won’t hit the ground. Also, try to form a ball and relax the muscles. You will injure yourself less if you are relaxed. Also wearing a heavy, bulky coat will cushion you if you should fail. The keys to the penguin walk are simple: ~Extend your arms (er, wings) out to your side, ~Bend your knees, and shuffle side to side as you move forward (rather than taking big steps). All of this will help maintain your centre of gravity in a treacherous climate the type of environment that penguins have existed in for centuries. Stay safe!!

Please note the clinic will be closing today at 3.30pm for the holidays. We will reopen on Tuesday, January 5th at 8am. ...
