POSTURE . This is always a controversial and emotive topic and one that a lot of healthcare professionals hold some strong ideas and beliefs about Maybe... its due to those memories of being told to sit up straight and not to slouch by our parents from a young age that contributed to this? However despite these very STRONG beliefs there is very WEAK evidence to support any of them Here are a few ‘facts’ about posture that are based on the current research and evidence we have now! #Physio #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #sportsphysio #sportsphysiotherapy #trainer #personaltrainer #coach #strengthcoach #osteopath #osteopathy #chiropractic #chiropractor #sportstherapy #sportstherapist #rehab #therapy #myotherapy #kinesiotherapy #exercisephysiology #exercisephysiologist #dptstudent #shouldercomplex #cantgowronggettingstrong

Gradual Re-Opening As you may be aware, last week the Ministry of Health approved chiropractors (and all the other regulated health professionals) in Ontario to gradually return to care for non-essential cases. Brown Chiropractic is excited to announce that it will be opening. As I'm sure you can imagine, things won't be operating the same. We will be following all the precautions set out by the Ministry of Health and the College of Chiropractors of Ontario. Our main priority... is the health and safety of the individuals who enter our doors. Our space has been updated to ensure social distancing and medical grade sanitary measures have been implemented. Here are some of the new protocols: - Masks must be worn by ALL individuals inside Thrive/ Brown Chiropractic. Patients can bring their own (cloth or medical) or buy one from the clinic. - All individuals must disinfect/clean hands upon arrival and departure with provided sanitizer - Time spacing between patients to ensure treatment rooms and gym equipment is properly disinfected. - Pre-screening questionnaire for COVID symptoms must be completed before appointments can proceed - Social distancing measures are in place. This includes limiting the number of people inside the building, spacing of chairs, and spacing of designated rehab areas in the gym area. Thank you for your patience during the last 11 weeks.
