Happy Family Day!! It’s Yamini here! To me family means EVERYTHING! Not just our blood family but also our work family! My family has been there there through it all. I cannot thank or repay my parents enough for what they have done through my life- too many words to say (not enough characters on here to write it- plus I will definitely start crying - trying not to tear up right now!). My sisters and I will drop everything for one another, no questions asked! Lastly but NOT ...least by any means is my hubby - he has been my rock especially as a new business owner - the endless hours I work and coming home to a nice cooked dinner has been amazing (among other things he has stepped up to help with!). My work family - I appreciate every one of our team and the hard work they do to help our community and help our clinic grow. I’m lucky to have found them and to be working with like minded folks! We are missing a few in the picture! To our community who have become family - thank you all so much for your continued support! Without our community we wouldn’t be where we are! Thank you for trusting us! We are grateful to have met each and every one of you and be part of your in person interactions during this time! It’s always fun! Now let’s see your families! Show off your families and tell us about them!

Happy Valentine's Day! We wanted to take this time to thank our community for the love and support we've received.

In ONE session, we had our client practically touching the floor A severe bending issue made everyday activities, such as tying shoes, extremely difficult to do. After ONE session with us, he could go far lower than had been possible in months. Results may vary, but this was just TOO AMAZING not to celebrate!

If you sit for most of the day, you probably have a stiff back Here are some great exercises to loosen up and take a break from work! Complete 10 repetitions of each exercise (within your comfort zone)... 1. Wall Angels: stand against a wall while slowly bringing your arms up and down. Make sure that both of your arms are up against the wall. Be sure to squeeze your upper back while doing this exercise without raising your shoulders. 2. Scapular Retractions: imagine squeezing a pencil between your shoulder blades. Again, try not to raise your shoulders. 3. Brugger: while standing, stretch out a resistance band as you squeeze your shoulder blades together. Rotate your shoulder outwards and extend your neck.

CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT Our rehab-focused chiropractors here at MyLife Rehab & Wellness offer two types of treatments. 1. ADJUSTMENT/MANIPULATION TREATMENT... 2. REHAB/ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT This video is an example of an adjustment/manipulation treatment with our chiropractors. Adjustment/manipulation sessions are typically 15 minute sessions that can include soft tissue therapy, joint mobilizations and manipulations/adjustments of the joints. Who gets adjustment sessions? (*NOTE: this list is not exclusive) Patients that come in regularly for supportive/maintenance care Patients that need a tune-up Patients with generalized mild-moderate neck/upper back/lower back pain or stiffness Patients with headaches/seeking management of headaches Patients with mild-moderate extremity pain that are recovering from injury and already have an established rehab program. Rehab/Acupuncture treatments are typically 30-40 minute sessions that can include the same type of treatment as mentioned above as well as acupuncture, specific exercise programming, more specific and in-depth soft tissue treatment techniques and more. Who gets rehab/acupuncture sessions? (NOTE: this list is not exclusive) Patients with specific sports injuries Patients requiring acupuncture Patients with more moderate-severe neck/upper back/lower back pain/discomfort Patients with nerve pain/symptoms (numbness, tingling, sciatica, etc) Patients with extremity pain/injuries requiring a specific exercise rehab plan (ankle sprains, knee injuries, shoulder pain/rotator cuff tears, etc) Treatment plans are recommended and discussed in detail with each patient. Each practitioner will determine what type of treatment you require. Only the treatment techniques that each individual is comfortable with will be included in the plan. (Example: If you do not like the idea of adjustments/manipulations or the idea of acupuncture then those will NOT be provided in your treatment plan) #durhamregion #chiropractic #chirocare #livepainfree #rehab #prehab #physiotherapy #painrelief #whitbychiro #whitbyontario #doitindurham #durhammomapproved

Stop reaching for those pills/injections (with their side effects...have you read all of them?! Yikes!). Our Physiotherapists and Chiropractors ARE pain specialists, we don’t want to MASK the pain we help you to GET RID of your pain! . Don’t get us wrong, there is a time and a place for pain medications. But if we told you that you don’t have to take any anymore (or a much lower or infrequent doses), what would you say?! (Hopefully jump for joy!! ) . Not taking medications ...is one of the most amazing side effects of therapy! Among so many more - being able to walk your dog with no pain, running around with your kids/grandkids, playing baseball again, etc...we will compare side effects of medications vs rehab in another post! . Please reach out to us to discuss your options with one of our therapists! We can set up a 15 minute free consultation (it’s never a sales pitch! We truly want you to be educated and look at all options!) See more

When was the last time you walked barefoot outside? Our trainer/FST therapis Kim @primalhealth discusses below... While it is important to strengthen your body, the feet often get locked up in shoes all day which reduces their ability to move freely. At first, it could be painful to walk even on the smoothest stones because your brain hasn't experienced the texture under it's foot. But over time you will develop the resiliency, strength and mobility in your joints for painfre...e paws. The added benefits are fresh air, a natural source of vitamin D and grounding the body. Do you enjoy walking barefoot outside?

Using video can help to assess a client's strengths and opportunities for their training program. It also allows us to revisit a movement in the future to see if there is progress. Here is an inside look at the analysis of the squat (side view).

Are you stressed out? Have you thought about the connection of movement and stress? While your brain is the master control system for your body's movement the way you move can also affect the way you think and feel. Fascial Stretch Therapy is a movement-based therapy that calms your central nervous system:... * It's a pain-free, assisted stretch that is an effective way to help manage stress and anxiety. Stress can be very hard on the mind and body. It is exhausting, it affects sleep patterns, social interactions, general mood and it is hard on the back, joints and whole body. Ask us about how our FST services can help you navigate your body and mind. #fascialstretchtherapy #setitfreewithfst #personaltraining #myliferehab
