Unfortunately, in the recent provincial report on re-opening of businesses, physiotherapy was not included in Phase 1 operations. However, if you are still dealing with pain due to an injury and want to get back out and active now the the nice weather has arrived we are still here to help. Tony Revitt, our resident physiotherapist, continues to do virtual TeleHealth physiotherapy sessions. He will be able to give you guidance with stretches and exercises to help restore your ...function so that you will be able to enjoy the outdoors. You can book an appointment with him through our website. https://glebehealth.janeapp.com/#/staff_member/4

Todays warm share is all about our in house psychologist Cathy Kerzner! Check out her website to learn more about how she can help our community through this difficult time and beyond. Q- What us your role with @glebehealthhouse A- I am a psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. For information about my practice, please visit www.kerznerpsychology.com Q- What do you love about GHH?... A- I love the tranquil atmosphere at GHH. The warm and welcoming environment provides a calm, quiet space for my clients and me to do our work together. Q- What is your COVID-19 good news? A- My COVID-19 good news is that I have developed many new computer skills. I would definitely say that my learning curve for computer technology has shown the same exponential growth rate as the new coronavirus itself! Q- What do you look forward to after covid-19 restrictions are lifted? A- I can’t wait to see my children in person and give them each a hug! Q- Are you still working and how can clients contact you? A- I am continuing to work but all appointments are via secure video platform or by telephone. Although it’s not quite the same as being in the room together, clients have been very impressed by how well these systems work. Please call 613-316-6900 if you’d like to schedule an appointment. Q- What will you remember about this time when we resume back to "normal'?. A- I’ll remember exploring my neighbourhood while talking on the phone with my family and friends. I’ll also remember being able to watch birds, rabbits and squirrels playing in my backyard through the window of my home office. Q - What are your wardrobe choices on repeat? A- Definitely my @lululemon running pants. They’re perfect for runs, walks, or watching Netflix on the sofa. So versatile; they go from day to evening!

Doing our part to flatten this curve in #ottawa but we do really miss our @glebehealthhouse community! From us to you, here are some Q & A with one of our own! @radiant_health_ottawa Q: What is your role at Glebe Health House? A: I’m a Registered Nutritionist & Registered Acupuncturist. Q: What is your Covid "good news" today?... A: My husband and I have been in self-isolation for over a month and I still think that he is the most phenomenal man. Q: What is something that has surprised you about staying home? A: I have been surprised to discover that I might not be as much of an extrovert as I thought I was. While I have felt a little squirrelly some days, for the most part, I have been finding plenty of activities to keep me happy and occupied. Q: What have you found the hardest about the restrictions that have been put in place as a result of Covid-19? A: Knowing that, even if I want to go out and do something, I can’t do it unless it’s essential. There really is something about knowing we can’t have something that makes it l the more tempting. Q: What are your current wardrobe choices on repeat? A: Comfort has been the name of the game. Wardrobe staples have included sweat/yoga/pyjama pants, cozy sweaters, and reading socks. I almost never wear makeup, so nothing has changed there. Q: What are you most looking forward to doing once the Covid restrictions are lifted? A: I’m looking forward to reconnecting with my Ottawa-based friends and family in person. I can’t wait to hug my baby nephew. He’s grown so much since I saw him last! I’m also looking forward to getting back into the clinic. I love my office. It’s warm and cozy and filled with the best colleagues. There is also virtually nothing that I find more rewarding than helping people to feel their best. We so miss your sunshiney attitude and diligent work ethic Kristin- WE also MISS your weekly deliveries of #covid19ottawa #healthyottawa #covidcommunityupdate #ottawahealth

Online physiotherapy is coming. Are you stuck at home due to the COVID-19 virus with an injury? Unable to see a physiotherapist due to the health authorities closure of non-essential services? We are now able to help. Starting next week our physiotherapist, Tony Revitt, will be commencing online physiotherapy sessions. These sessions will be through secure video chats. We will be able to go over your problem area and come up with self treatment ideas and exercises that you c...an do at home during this time of social distancing. Appointments can be booked online directly through our website (glebehealthhouse.com).

Sadly, there is no other way. The strength is in that we all properly do this TOGETHER....Together, we strive to remain healthy; Together we resolve to truly socially distance; Together, we can rise back up when the timing is right. Its on. Stay Healthy Friends. We care for your health now and look forward to when we can see you again on the other side of this.

Feel deeply. Share how you feel. Heart Work. Can you let go of the need for desired reactions at the end of your actions? Can you make space for radiating love and light without expecting or demanding the same in return? Can you love for the sake of the beauty of it all; and that in sharing this, you could simply experience the joy of your selflessness. #loveanyway #goals #heartwork #buildyourhealthhouse #lovedeeply #payitforward #otthealth #ottawahealth #healthclinic #mentalhealthottawa #beauthentic #goodvibes #loveislight #loveistheanswer #ott613
