Dr. Stefany taking you through GLUTE BRIDGES Although they seem pretty simple, they definitely pack a punch! The glute bridge motion targets the glutes, hamstrings, core, lower back, and hip flexors. They build strength in these areas that promotes athletic abilities and general mobility and stability.... Glute bridges can be in different variations, and Dr. Stefany is showing you 2 of them! 1) Laying on your back with your knees bent. Keeping your shoulders on the floor thrust your hips up to the ceiling keeping your back straight and not arched. Contract your glutes at the top! Come back down and repeat. 2) Same as #1 and also adding an elastic band for added resistance. The goal it’s to activate your glutes rather than overextending your hips which will arch back. Try these 10 to 20 reps, 2 sets, 1-2x a day! Let us know if you already have this in your routine! If not, how do find them to be for you? -Dr. Stefany We are accepting new patients!

Storytelling is powerful, but it can also be misleading. If you’re pregnant, or have just given birth, chances are there’s no shortage of people around you sharing stories and advice from their own experience. Don’t get us wrong I LOVE that!... There’s just one thing you need it keep in mind: This experience is completely unique to you. You may have similarities with other moms in your circle, but no two pregnancies are the alike, and neither is recovery. This is YOUR pregnancy, YOUR experience. I know it can feel overwhelming, even scary at times, especially if this is your first baby. Having the proper guidance is a game-changer and that’s what I’m here for. I’m here to support you no matter what part of your journey you’re on! ~ ~ For your Babes - Chiropractic treatment for your baby is just as safe and effective! After an assessment, gentle adjustments can be performed. These adjustments sometimes look like a gentle massage and other times a touch of hand. The pressure used by the practitioner is akin to the pressure one uses to test the ripeness of a tomato. Chiropractic has helped babies with colic type symptoms to difficulties with latching when feeding and more! - Dr. Stefany Accepting new patients!

Dr. Stefany taking you through an amazing core strengthening and stabilizing exercise that also strengthens the low back! - the DEAD BUG Lying face up, raise both arms up and bring both knees up to 90 degrees. The key with this exercise is to keep your core braced. My way to best explain bracing your core is imagining someone is about to slap your stomach, and you’re bracing to protect from the slap. Keeping your core braced is important throughout the movements ... In the video, a progression is being shown 1) Starting off with bracing your core and lowering one arm down at a time and coming back to centre. 2) Bracing your core and lowering one leg at a time and coming back to centre. 3) The final movement is to lower one leg and the opposite arm at the same time, coming back to centre, and then switching sides. This will be a lot tougher, but try to keep your back flat and your core braced throughout. This is about being SLOW and CONTROLLED You can start with 5 to 10 reps one side at a time, or switching between sides as mentioned! Let us know if you’ve done these before or if this is something new to add to your routine! -Dr. Stefany We are accepting new patients!

Cupping therapy might be trendy now, but it’s not new. It dates back to ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures.

Mama, do not accept that childbirth means you have to pee your pants for the rest of your life So many common complications of pregnancy have been accepted as normal but I’m here to tell you there is so much we can do to fix it (forever!) Muscle pain, pelvic organ prolapse, persistent bloating and separated abs are just some of the symptoms people dismiss as an inevitable consequence of being a mother.... It’s our job to support and empower women to treat their bodies with care, compassion and proper rehab You don’t have to suffer just because you had a baby. Achy muscles, low back and pelvic pain, fatigue, depression, brain fog: these are just some of the symptoms that people tend to dismiss during motherhood. Important postnatal indicators are shrugged off as something that comes with the territory of being a mother.

Look for wide, cushions and adjustable shoulder straps... 3. Look for backpacks with plenty of pockets 4. Look for backpacks with the large pouches close to the body 5.

Wednesday Wellness: It's lunch time. Shortly you may start to feel tired. Your first thought might be to reach for a coffee for a pick me up. Today, instead of reaching for that cup of coffee, reach for a glass of water! That lunch time fatigue you often feel is dehydration and finding that glass of water can be the best fix to continue your day.

Wednesday Wellness Tip: What can improve your health in just 8 minutes??? Exercise! Recent studies have found just 8 minutes a day of exercise can improve the average canadians cardiovascular system, blood sugar metabolism and energy levels. Starting today, walking/biking to work, taking the stairs can go a long way to a healthier tomorrow

Wednesday Wellness Tip Assess your Sun and vitamin D levels (EVEN IN THIS HEATWAVE) Vitamin D can help improve mood, build muscle, boost your immune system and so much more. Your average Canadian's daily dose of sunshine should be:... 1. 15 minutes outdoors in direct sunlight 2. During the peak hours of 12-3PM 3. Without sun protection during that time 4. With your arms, legs and face exposed You may be vitamin D deficient if you cannot do this daily (many of us do not with indoor jobs). This is a great time to discuss a vitamin D supplement with your naturopathic doctor.

Recent concern: We are NOT LEAVING Hi Everyone, We want to let everybody know that we are NOT LEAVING Wasaga Beach. We have had many people ask about the for sale sign on the property. Our landlord is selling the property and we have no intention in leaving Wasaga. The timing of the for sale sign is coincidental with our closure from the COVID pandemic. These online resources are the best way for us to inform people we would normally speak with directly and the general publ...ic. We can assure you we are closed only because of the public health risk with COVID-19 and will reopen as soon as possible! We appreciate the concern and will work hard for the Wasaga Beach community once we get through this current pandemic, From everyone at Georgian Family Chiropractic & Wellness.

Office update: Our office will remain closed this week. Dr. Girard, our naturopathic doctor, is still available by phone for phone consultations. Dr. Simpson is available by phone to provide guidance on any musculoskeletal pains you may be having. If a problem is intense enough and you consider visiting the emergency room, IE "My back went out and I can barely walk", an emergency treatment may be provided under special circumstances. Please call 705 422 1221 and leave a voicemail. Messages will be checked every morning.

ATTENTION: Closure for all non-emergency care. Beginning today, we will be rescheduling all non-emergency appointments. This will be done in order to reduce the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus and decrease the number of musculoskeletal visits to an overcrowded emergency room. Schedules will be highly restricted and reserve for extreme cases. These actions have been instructed by the College of Chiropractors at the guidance of Health Canada and the World Health Organizat...ion. Each individual with an appointment will be contacted individually and we will reassess the situation next week. We appreciate your understanding at this time.

Hi Everyone, Although the current public health risk for COVID-19/coronavirus remains low, we encourage you to follow current safety guidelines set out by Health Canada: -Use proper hygiene practices such as frequent hand washing... -Cover you mouth in your sleeve or elbow if coughing or sneezing -Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands -Stay home and away from others if you are feeling unwell If you are feeling unwell (fever, cough, shortness of breath are the 3 most common) we will gladly reschedule any appointment for a future date We have also provided a link to the World Health Organization website with a lot of useful public health tips. https://www.who.int//novel-corona/advice-for-public/videos We will update you with any changes should the situation change Thank you for your cooperation, Georgian Family Chiropractic & Wellness
