One of our most compliant patients performing his #mckenziemethod stretches this #longweekend !! Benefits of stretching on the weekend: Reset all the tension built up from the week.... You have more time TO stretch! Prepare your body for extra activity that’s usually done on the weekend. Feel rejuvenated on your time off work. #lowbackpain #lockpain #neckpain #workfromhome #athletictherapy #physiotherapy #wellness #jointpainrelief #triggerpoint #mechphysio #sciatica #mobility #healthylifestyle #massagetherapy #painmanagement

Congratulations to Tristan @tristan_kwon on the successful completion of your Internship at @mechphysio It’s been a pleasure to have you contributing to the clinic and developing your skills as a therapist and as a health practitioner. You are an exemplary candidate for Physiotherapy and We wish you the best of luck in your studies! @classicsab and @melinabisogni

As we approach the weekend, let’s take a moment to reach out to one another and just... talk. Let’s be there for each other. You never know who’s life you might change or who’s life you might save. Health care workers such as physiotherapists and other rehabilitation professionals are always listening to patients concerns and life struggles to offer support and compassion. ... Movement and emotional state are unarguably connected. The endorphins released in your blood stream from doing exercises and being active help improve your current mood and outlook on life. Studies show that tactile stimulation of massage therapy eases anxiety and improves sleep. #physiotherapy #bellletstalk #massagetherapy #osteopathy #mentalhealth #covid_19 #thornhill #vaughan #markham #northyork #toronto #community

One more day and that’s a wrap! Here we are, the rehab staff only including our amazing Physio intern, Tristan, wishing our #mechphysio family a Merry Christmas! Even though we were closed for 3 months this year, we still managed to stick around, re-open, and safely provide Physio and rehab services to the community as well as provide an educational environment for Physiotherapy candidates.... Our team will always remember this year - the COVID year- where team work, determination and optimism were the driving forces to our survival as a health clinic in the middle of a pandemic. #physiotherapy #massage #massagetherapy #athletictherapy #osteopathy #sports #sportsinjury #sportsrehab #functionaltraining #strengthworkout #merrychristmas #thornhill #markham #richmondhill #vaughan #vaughanmoms #vaughanmills #northyork #workfromhome #backpain #backpainrelief #neckpainrelief #neckpain #neckexercises #myofascialrelease

As adorable as this picture is of a new grandma and her granddaughter we can’t help but notice the not-so-great posture that is often assumed when holding a newborn in cradle hold This asymmetric posture of the shoulders and upper back with the additional load of a 6-10 lb bundle of joy can lead to neck and shoulder pain really fast! So what should we do?? Take baby away from grandma?!?!? ... Or teach grandma some baby holding #ergonomics : Sit in a supportive chair (not the couch) Use a pillow or lumbar support behind your lower back Arch your upper back (push chest out) Hold baby evenly levelled on both arms Have both feet flat on the floor Alternate which side you hold baby’s head on as this is baby’s heaviest body part Hold baby on a pillow in your lap #physiotherapy #massagetherapy #athletictherapy #osteopathy #newborn #newmom #newmomlifestyle #shoulderbladepain #neckpain #neckpainrelief #lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief #thornhill #lifewithababy #vaughanmoms #vaughan #yorkregion #markham #northyork #richmondhill

The strongest hands in town! To be an effective manual therapist you need to have not only strength but precision. You want to direct the force exactly where the patient needs it to get BEST results! @classicsab has the magic touch to release nerve tension, muscle guarding and ultimately provide pain and #tension relief. ... #strongwomen #physiotherapy #athletictherapy #triceps #tricepsworkout #lowbackpain #pinchnerve #sciaticarelief #mobility #functionalfitness #strengthtraining #strengthandconditioning #thornhill #vaughan #northyork #markham #richmondhill

ANYBODY GOT AN EXERCISE BAND?!?! This is the simplest and best exercise to do for your forearms if you work: On a Laptop... As a Cashier As a Cook As a Driver As a Hair Stylist Strengthening your Tricep and forearm grip will prevent the painful and nagging condition that often plagues the professions above- #tenniselbow Repetitive strain on the forearm is very common and over the years will lead to carpal tunnel, tendinitis, tennis elbow, golfers elbow. For some it will be a gradual onset and for others will be from day to the next. #tenniselbow #tenniselbowtreatment #shoulderexercises #forearmworkout #golferselbow #golferselbowtreatment #carpaltunnelsyndrome #repetitivestraininjury #officework #workfromhome #tricepsworkout #tricepstrening #bootybands #resistancebands #resistancebandsworkout #gripstrength
