If you've ever experienced foot pain, you've probably heard of orthotics, the footwear inserts that help correct alignment concerns with your feet. But orthotics can do a lot more, and with the help of a Pedorthist, you can relieve a multitude of conditions https://bit.ly/3wdgOrQ
Are you feeling discomfort in your lower back, or knees and ankles? The piriformis muscle, located deep beneath the gluteal muscles, might be the culprit. This muscle plays an important role in hip flexibility and stability, so giving it a good stretch can help relieve that tightness! Lie down, bend one knee upwards and cross it over your other leg while gently pulling, and hold for 30sec-1min and release. Try out three sets, three times a day, and feel the relief! #TuesdayTip
If you've ever received a concussion, you know how unpleasant an experience it is. The recovery process isn't always a walk in the park either, but a concussion assessment and physiotherapy can help the treatment process https://bit.ly/2OjUueY

With feelings of loneliness drastically amplified by lockdowns and restrictions, many of us are craving social interactions while remaining safe and distanced. Even casual, superficial interactions can do the trick!

This season can feel isolating at the best of times, but with COVID-19 restrictions tightening across the country as the pandemic approaches the 1-year mark, these feelings are definitely stronger. It's important to treat yourself well and know that you're not the only one feeling this way. Find new ways to connect virtually with friends, like a virtual movie club or online games. Looking for ways to give to others in your community can also help with feeling connected during this time of year. #TuesdayTip

Have you taken up running to stay active while gyms are closed? Is shin pain starting to slow you down? You can take steps to relieve this pain by resting your legs or trying less intense exercise, replacing running shoes if they're worn down, or putting ice on the sore spots. Stretch and strengthen your calves and ankles too! #TuesdayTip
