You didn’t fail the plan, the plan failed you. Drop me a if you’ve heard this saying before. I see a lot of clients who have found a generic meal plan online in hopes that following it will help them reach their nutritional goals. For some people, they may be successful with following something like this, but for most of the clients I work with, they have not. This is because nutrition is not a one size fits all. This is where working with a dietitian can be a game changer... Understanding and digging into the root causes of how & why we eat, our relationship with food, and tailoring a plan that works for your lifestyle/preferences are more effective in finding long term happiness and consistency then just following a generic plan for a few weeks (and feeling guilty about not being able to follow through with it). I help clients do just this. With a compassionate and inclusive counselling approach, I help people find confidence with eating for the long term. We challenge all or nothing thinking, dicsuss the reasons why and how we eat, and find a plan that works best FOR YOU I offer 1 on 1 sessions virtually and I am currently taking on new clients. Send me a message if you would like to learn more about what to expect when working with me You can also click in our bio to book in your free 15 minute phone call or appointment today!

Welcome to our first big snowfall! Although with this comes the daunting task of shovelling all that snow from your driveway. This can lead to many aches and pains! @drashleybarker has many helpful tips and tricks to help manage these aggravating pains during the holiday season. *Warm up! Before starting to shovel try about 5-10 minutes of physical activity such as jumping jacks to get those arms and legs moving. ... *Start early, don’t rush! Take your time. Trying to lift heavy loads of snow all at once can cause injury. Therefore, shovel snow in small sections at a time. *Take breaks! If you start to feel tired it’s ok to stop and hydrate or even do a few stretches. *Always be mindful of your positioning when shovelling snow. As shown above you do not want to twist your spine into awkward positions. Make sure to bend your knees and lift with those legs!

Impact Healthcare's conservative chronic pain management program is the first of its kind in the Simcoe County. Chronic, also termed "persistent" pain, affects an estimated 20% of the population world-wide. Chronic pain can be defined as a painful experience that persists or recurs for longer than 3 months. There are often multiple factors that play into a painful experience, that may not be addressed with conventional care. Our program aims to target the various fa...ctors that play a role in your pain experience, including biological, psychological, socio-economic and lifestyle factors. You'll undergo an extensive initial assessment with Dr. Dave Emond that aims to rule out any significant medical concerns, set realistic personal goals for returning to activities that may be difficult to perform, and determine which avenues may be best suited to reach these goals. Dr. Dave Emond who is spearheading this program has a keen interest in working with patients with chronic pain. This program is a team effort that emphasizes education, active approaches to care, and self-management strategies. These may include addressing sleep, nutrition, social concerns, physical activity and pain coping strategies. The program will also emphasize collaboration between your entire medical team - your family physician, specialists, our clinicians onsite, and our psychotherapist, Lindsay Westcott. Although it takes time and diligence to address persistent pain, our biggest goal is to get you back to doing the things you love, and not letting your pain stand in your way. #chronicpain #persistentpain #barriechronicpain #chronicpainprogram #barriechiro #barriechiropractor #collaboration #patientcentredcare #impacthealthcare #psychotherapybarrie #psychotherapy See more

The winter months can be long and sometimes it’s hard to keep yourself motivated to stay active during these chilly temperatures. So how do we get off our comfy warm couches and get moving? Below are some tips and tricks to keep active during the winter months. Warm up Indoors: Do jumping Jacks or stretching inside before heading out in the cold.... Wear appropriate clothing: Wearing warm clothing is very important to help keep the moisture away from your body helping you stay warm and dry. Listen to your body: The colder weather may make your body work harder to stay warm, so try not to overdo it if you’re doing physical activity outdoors. Try at home workouts: Working out at home can be just as good for you as going to the gym minus having to get out and brush all the snow off your car. Invite a friend to stay active with: Having a friend to workout with can help you stay motivated and stay on track! Lets get through these winter months together! If you have any questions regarding ways to stay active this winter or feel like you need a boost to get those aches and pains looked at call us today! 705-725-9777 or book online at www.impacthc.ca #healthyliving #movementismedicine #stayactive #barriephysio #barriemassage #barriechiropractor #impacthealthcare #localbusiness #barrielocalbusiness See more

During these crazy COVID times we have shifted our focus to online events to help support our members as best we can while we're limited on hosting in-person ga...therings. I just wanted to take a moment to thank Jenny Pizzale and Dr. Ashley Barker from Impact Healthcare for taking the time to chat with our members about important post-partum topics we all need to know about! Your support of families in our community is greatly appreciated, THANK YOU! See more

Posted @withregram @drashleybarker ? If youre a patient of mine, or have ever spoken to me about this topic, youll know my answer is e n ! ?... You just went through 9+ months of significant hormonal and mechanical changes during your pregnancy AND experienced the most athletic event of your lifechildbirth! During pregnancy the growing uterus has stretched the abdominal muscles to accommodate the changing size of your growing baby. Pregnancy is also associated with a decrease in perineal muscle strength and endurance compared to before pregnancy and delivery. A study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine found that 32% of women still have diastasis recti (a separation of their abdominal muscles) at 12 months postpartum. The complications of diastasis recti include incontinence, back and/or pelvic pain, and pelvic organ prolapse. Getting checked out and developing a proper rehabilitation program for your pelvic floor and core post birth is more than just self care it should be a we set for ourselves! Tag a new mom, or a woman that complains of some of the common symptoms that arise from an unchecked diastasis. The conversation and subsequent treatment surrounding this topic is helping so many women. #GROWCO #postpartumrehab #takebackpostpartum #pregnancyhealth #birthtrauma #pelvicfloorphysio #fourthtrimester #postpartumlife #postnatalhealth #postnatalrecovery #womenswellness #pelvicfloorhealth #wellnesseducation #pelvicpain #hormones #pelvicfloor #postpartum #postpartumhealth See more

Posted @withregram @dr.dave.emond Today's leson: Injury recovery! We've all been there. We get hurt, or are feeling discomfort or pain, and we think "well I'll keep getting better each day until I'm back to normal". Unfortunately our bodies don't always like to follow rules (especially when the rules aren't real ones ).... Recovery is a process, which means there will be ups and there will be downs. The key is to not look at progress on a day by day basis, but instead in larger trends. Even if you had a bad day or two compared to the previous good day, are we still better than we were on day 1? It is also important to not focus solely on pain perception. Are you doing activities that you couldn't do a few days prior? Yes? That's progress! Don't get overwhelmed by the lows, and don't get complacent on the highs. Follow a well prepared plan of management (seek professional help for this part), and over the course of time, you will get better. Keep moving! #injury #recovery #exercise #exerciseismedicine #movement #move #gym #fitness #chiro #chiropractic #barriechiropractor #physio #rehab #strength #endurance #barrie #simcoe See more

Posted @withregram @drashleybarker Your favourite fitness class probably doesn't serve your postpartum healing. I said it 1000s of burpees, intense workouts and having a trainer yell "10 more reps" at you is not aiding the true healing your body requires ... While well-intentioned, most trainers simply lack the knowledge of what your body is going through after pregnancy, child birth and in the post natal period. I'm part of a company on a mission to raise the standard of care for post natal women We provide: a comprehensive postpartum checkup (something you wont get from your OB or personal trainer). progressive healing ( through exercise that targets your core, pelvic floor and total body) an expert understanding of what it takes to prevent, reduce, or resolve common symptoms associated with being a mother (sidenote: you don't have to pee your pants just because you've had a child) You deserve expert level care in this, the most transitional period of your life.

Recently our physiotherapist Caitlyn took an introduction course to Acupuncture and Dry Needling! Heard of acupuncture, but not sure what dry needling is? Dry needling uses the same needles you would see in acupuncture, but it focuses more on trigger point release. Trigger points are the taut bands and painful nodules you can sometimes feel in your muscles. By inserting the needle into the trigger point it causes a local twitch response in the muscle releasing tension. Caitlyn is excited to add acupuncture and dry needling into her practice at the clinic and looks forward to continuing her knowledge with acupuncture and dry needling through further courses. #dryneedling #acupuncture #physiotherapy #education #physiobarrie #barriephysio #muscletension #barriebusiness #impacthealthcare

Posted @withregram @dr.dave.emond Are you meeting the recommended weekly minutes for physical activity? Movement is good. We all know this. It is great for risk reduction of various different health conditions, including mental health. The guidelines include either 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week, with the addition of 2 sessions of resistance training.... The recommended minutes offered by the most up to date guidelines are great numbers to hit, but can seem daunting and unrealistic for some of us. This is ok! These numbers are something to work towards, but even small amounts of physical activity (10 minutes a week) is better than none! So get out there, enjoy the sun, some company or whatever recreational hobbies you may have!

For many of us our usual modes of physical activity and exercise have been temporarily closed or cancelled. Maybe you got your movement fix by playing in a recreation sport leaguewere an avid gym goer or enjoyed a hot yoga class. So what does your movement time look like now? Maybe you have more time for your home exercise plans. Or maybe you are taking advantage of online resources like YouTube or Instagram for workout ideas/classes or going on daily walks o...r runs. The Canadian Physical Activity Guideline for adults age 18-64 recommend 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity per week in a minimum of 10 minute bouts. Both moderate and vigorous activities will get your heart rate up.A way to tell the type of intensity you are working at is through the talk test. If youre working at a moderate intensity you could still have a conversation, but wont be able to sing if you tried. Vigorous intensity activities you will only be able to say a few words before you need to pause to take a breath. Moderate activities may include a brisk walk, cycling between 15-20 km/hr, and outdoor housework such as raking or trimming shrubs. Vigorous intensity activities include jogging, jump rope, or following a high intensity workout video. Research has shown there are multiple physical and mental health benefits to performing regular physical activity. This includes, but is not limited to: Increasing muscle strength and function Boosting mood Lowering risk of cardiovascular diseases Reducing stress Improving bone health The pictures above are how some of the Impact Healthcare team is staying active while we all practice our social distancing! Comment below on how you are getting in your recommended 150 minutes of physical activity!! @ Barrie, Ontario See more

Happy Easter from all of us at Impact Healthcare! Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday filled with lots of chocolate.

One of our RMTs, Melissa has been spending her recent spare time mentally working by continuing/upgrading her education. Her recent course was Acupressure Treatments for Headaches. Massage therapy and acupressure have been found to complement each other when treating multiple types of headaches. Acupressure is a form of complementary or alternative medicine. It follows the same fundamental principles as acupuncture. Both acupressure and acupuncture involve sti...mulating pressure points along energy lines that run through the body. Acupuncturists refer to these as meridian lines. Great job, Melissa! #massagebarrie #rmtbarrie #registeredmassgetherapist #education #alwayslearning #massgebenefits #acupressure #headaches #barriebusiness #localbusiness #impacthealthcare See more

The sun is shining so one of our RMTs Tanya and her son Lucas brought their yoga session outside. Practicing yoga regularly has been something new to them. Tanya often said she would love to incorporate more yoga into her schedule but just couldnt seem to squeeze it in. With all the virtual sessions now being offered, and more time on our hands, its been the perfect opportunity to add yoga into her life. As you already know, its important to get moving any way you enjoy. Incorporating physical activity, or stretching to your daily routine can help manage your physical, emotional, and mental well being during this time of uncertainty. Drink water, get moving,sleep well, and wash your hands! #motionislotion #stayactive #homeexercise #flattenthecurve #massagebarrie #barriemassagetherapist

Repost @caseysmithdc - Repost from @caseysmithdc using @RepostRegramApp - With majority of us at stuck at home, its important to remember to move your body everyday. Our body responds to the demands that we put on it (within reason). Just remember to balance the time on the couch vs. being active. #motionislotion #exerciseismedicine #familyworkouts #familycircus #barriebusiness #chirobarrie #chiropractor #impacthealthcare

Raise your hand if you are now working from home. We know many of you have switched to a homeoffice set-up that may not offer the same ergonomic set up that you have at your usual desk. Research shows an improper desk set up can lead to unwanted stress on the body , cause a decrease in your daily productivityas well lower job satisfaction Below are tips to help give you a better set-up at home and help to prevent postural pain. 1 Make sure you are... seated comfortably. Your feet should be resting on the ground, knees bent to approximately 90 degrees, hips are slightly higher than the knees and your thighs should be close to parallel to the floor. Arms should be relaxed and elbows at 90 degrees on your armrests. 2Monitor height should be at or just slightly below eye level while maintaining a neutral neck position. Too low can lead to tech neck causing stiffness through the neck and back. 3Visual Care = 20/20/20 rule: Every 20 minutes take at least a 20 seconds and look away form your monitor at least 20 ft. 4Frequently used items should be placed in your reach without needing to straighten your arm or bend your body forward. Items not used as frequently should be able to be reached by straightening your arm fully rather than moving your body forwards. 5Finally remember to take breaks! Every 20 minutes get up for 2 minutes to walk! This can help get your blood circulating and your muscles moving. #barriephysio #physiotherapy #athomeexercise #motionislotion #movementismedicine #lowerbodyexercise #flattenthecurve #barriebusiness #impacthealthcare @ Barrie, Ontario

Posted @withregram @dr.dave.emond Some self-isolation thoughts or "Quarantine Quotes" Just like silly card tricks, manual therapy isn't "MAGIC". Manual therapy has it's place to help you feel better and move better, but for a short period of time (that could range from 20 minutes, to 20 hours, to 20 days).... What it isn't going to do *in the majority of cases* is magically fix your problem. The one and only way that muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, bones, etc. will eventually grow stronger, is through proper load (exercise). Use the window of opportunity that your (insert favourite modality here) gave you, and go do those exercises that you've been prescribed to ensure you get SUSTAINABLE results. If you want to get better for good, not just for a bit till your next appointment, be a part of the equation. And remember: Rehabing a problem through exercise might not be that quick fix you were looking for, but it is an investment worth making for a happier and healthier life in the long term.
