The Ontario government recently announced a province-wide lockdown. This places Burlington into the grey zone and as such we wanted to address any questions or concerns that you may have. Firstly, we wanted to assure our clients that Movement Therapy will remain OPEN during this lockdownSaying that, we also wanted to inform you that some of our services will be affected during this time. The government has deemed regulated health professionals (physiotherapists..., massage therapists, naturopathic doctors, and chiropractors) as ESSENTIAL and therefore are allowing us to continue treating patients in person during this lockdown. Unfortunately, unregulated professionals (osteopaths and personal trainers) were not deemed essential and therefore we will NOT be offering those services while in the grey zone. Secondly, we wanted to remind all of our clients that we are governed by our professional colleges , who in accordance with the Ministry of Health have developed comprehensive procedures to significantly prevent the spread of COVID-19. We are diligently following these procedures in order to ensure that you are safe coming to Movement Therapy. [ Click the link in our profile to learn more] . Lastly, we hope this information fuels your confidence to continue to focus on your health. Ignoring pain/symptoms/injuries allows your issues to progress and makes them much harder to reverse down the road. Additionally, it is important to note that many of our services, in addition to focusing on your physical and mental health, also improve your metabolic health, which is critical in the fight against COVID-19. The healthier you are, the greater ability you have to fight off infection and avoid serious complications. New information is coming out daily and if anything changes, we will do our best to keep you informed. If you have any other other questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out via email or phone . See more

When life throws you curveballs (such as a pandemic) you can get knocked off your regular routine. When that routine included regular physical activity, the consequences can lead to a more sedentary lifestyle, weight gain, increased risk of injury and a reduction in overall health. Sounds apocalyptic but don’t worry because we’re here to help! Here are some creative ways to help you keep moving during these unprecedented times: A) Go for a brisk walk in nature... B) Join a virtual fitness class C) Consider an at home exercise routine that requires nothing but your own body weight D) Add bands, weights or even a partner to increase the intensity of you at home workouts * be sure to maintain physical distancing* E) Ride your bike, when it gets too cold look into purchasing a cycling stand for use indoors F) Join a virtual yoga class G) Crank the tunes and dance with your loved ones Regardless of what method you choose to move more, make sure to set a realistic goal and hold yourself accountable! Get moving, your body will thank you! See more
