When was the last time you moved your knee joint through all the motions it's able to perform? Probably never. Your knee can do more than just flex and extend, it can also rotate! Your tibia (bone in your shin) can rotate, which is vital to exercises like squats, deadlifts, lunges, and every day activies like walking. When people have a deficit of tibial rotation or limited range of motion in overall in their knees it can cause stress to other parts of the body that can dev...elop into pain and injury over time. Rehab and Mobility Specialist Raf uses this exercise in his Kinstretch classes a lot, and EVERYONE has difficulty controlling and performing this exercise, imagine if everyone could fully control their knee's ability to move?

Having mobile neck is vital to our health. We've all had that feeling of a stiff neck in the morning where we can barely move, and realize how difficult it will be to shoulder check while driving to work. Tight neck muscles are not fun to deal with, but one way to combat this is to consistently move our neck joint to promote blood flow and movement to the area. ... Neck Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs) is one of the best ways to consistently feed movement to our necks to keep them happy and moving like a well oiled machine.

PRP Supplies Just Arrived Today! That's right! That means you can book in for a consultation for PRP! PRP stimulates a controlled inflammatory response to produce new collagen and tighten the skin and as well as improve tissue repair in damaged joints. Platelets release small molecules that act as messengers to regulate tissue healing. This unique blend of wound healing and growth factor platelets can rejuvenate your skin by minimizing fine lines and aid in improving your... collagen quality and levels, as well as improve tissue repair in joints. That being said we will be offering a few options for PRP injections such as: - Joint injections - Knees and shoulders to start - Hair regrowth - Cosmetic injections (a more natural option than Botox) We are so excited to bring these new options and services to our patients and community.

Monday Mental Health Check In While feeling "fine" means different things to different people, some things might actually apply to all of us: in order to thrive, we all need a good sense of self, and we all need purpose, contribution, hope, resilience and belonging. A simple exercise is to check in with yourself by reading these statements below in each category mentioned above and seeing if you agree or disagree. Give yourself a check mark if you agree, and an empty spa...ce if you don't. Self - I deserve to feel well. Belonging - I have people in my life to support me. Contribution - I feel useful and productive. Hope - I am optimistic about my future. Resilience - Things are hard sometimes, but I think I deal pretty well. Taking the time to reflect on these statements in each category can give you a better idea where you're at, especially today since many of us are "too busy" to even sit down and just be with yourself for a minute without any interruptions.

It's always fun to see some of our practitioners in the role of the patient. Every single one of us constantly go to eachother for treatment because we all get our aches and pains The one benefit of working at a clinic is being able to sneak in quick treatments or a quick adjustment from one of our Chiropractors. ... If you listen closely Dr. Sarah gets a loud release. Her reaction is the best to a point where our Rehab and Mobility Specialist starts laughing in the background

Hip Mobility Is Vital To Your Health Joint mobility can be a determining factor in overall health. While strength, speed and stamina are all important attributes, they may amount to nothing with compromised range of motions in crucial joints. The hip is a great example of this. ... Sitting too much without proper attention to posture is a great way to weaken your glutes and shorten the hip flexors. Range of motion still needs to be accounted for and the lower back often picks up the burden. The lower back is a region meant for stability and, when it is called upon to initiate motions such as lifting, you have an injury waiting to happen.

Two of the most important things to create in a successful counselling session is a safe environment and the relationship with your Counsellor Let's face it, talking to someone new about your feelings or rough part of your life can be intimidating to do.

Mental Health Minute with Registered Counsellor Manpreet How can I monitor my mental health during a pandemic? Everyone is different, and everyone will react differently. So, what you need to understand isn’t what’s normal but rather what’s healthy for you. ... As we’re being asked to constantly monitor our physical health (are we coughing? is that a sore throat? do we have a fever?) it’s easy to overlook our mental health. But in fact, it’s more important now than ever. Keep an eye on how you’re feeling or what might trigger negative responses. If news and social media are causing you to believe that everyone else is juggling competing demands better than you are, shut down the computer. If the news cycle is causing your stomach to clench, turn it off. If your kids are resisting a rigid routine, focus on manners and kindness, and forget the mess. Don’t try to fix everything right now. Pick one thing that isn’t sitting well with you and focus on that. Need extra support?

One of the most common questions we get about our Medical Spa is "how much?" Within the Cosmetic Medical Spa and Injection industry, it almost seems like every patient is looking for the best deal and at the same time trying to find a Doctor or Nurse that has an impressive skill set. Sometimes going for the cheapest option leaves you with inexperienced injectors with an inferior product. Here at Restore we have a well-experienced Doctor with a superior product and, a competit...ive price. We use Juvederm for our dermal filler and BOTOX Cosmetic and not any Botox like brands. Right now as a promotion we are offering our Juvederm dermal filler for $550 for a full syringe and $8 a unit for our BOTOXCosmetic.

Ready? Smile! Our Medispa loves before and after photos! Just a heads up our Medispa has a seperate Instagram account that has more specific information about our Botox and Dermal Filler treatments that can be found with our handle @restoremedispa on Instagram, give us a follow! That being said, with every patient that comes in for Botox and Dermal Filler, we take before photos as well as after photos. Every patient comes in after two weeks for their after photos as well as... any small touch-ups needed. Two weeks is the average time for both Botox and Dermal Filler to fully settle in and adapt to your daily facial expressions. At this point, there are sometimes small adjustments needed to get the look you were aiming to achieve. Want to book in for your first appointment or need a follow-up appointment?

Ever wonder what chiropractors, physiotherapists, registered massage therapists, and medical doctors cover in their education? We are going to look at these areas below in our upcoming posts: - anatomy... - imaging - orthopedics - rehab and exercise - soft tissue mobilization - and more! Here is a break down of anatomy hours of each profession. Do any of these surprise you?

At Restore, we believe that exercise and precisely strength training improves not only injuries but longevity. Here are THREE reasons why strength training improves your quality of life: 1. It keeps your bones strong and healthy - Your bones need to stay challenged, just like your brain needs exercise to stay sharp. After about age 30, you start to lose bone density at a small percentage each year. Keep in mind, women make up 80 percent of osteoporosis cases as they lose bon...e mass. 2. It regulates insulin and lowers inflammation - strength training has you burning through glucose, which is good news for those grappling with Type 2 diabetes who consistently need to manage blood sugar levels. Lifting weights even aids in fighting off inflammation, a marker tied to many diseases. Studies have suggested that regular resistance training sessions, about twice a week, resulted in drops in inflammation in overweight women. 3. It improves posture, sleep, mood, and energy levels -Weight training comes with other bonuses, too, besides the aesthetic, physiological and strength benefits, it affects just how we feel and how clearly we think. Weight training has proven to improve the quality of a person’s sleep. Now let's get moving!

Needles can be scary. Everyone of us have had an experience where the anxiety of getting an injection can be so overwhelming that any time we even think of a needle we just want to go and hide. Thankfully we have someone like Dr. Eileen Fan who has a lot of experience with injections to a point when our patients come in for Botox and Dermal Filler, they are surprised that there's little to no pain. ... Having a professional who takes the time and care to ensure something as invasive as an injection goes a long way, and we pride ourselves that we take the extra time to do so. Dr. Eileen Fan is still doing her 15 minute FREE consultations if you are interested! Click here: https://restorerehabilitationinc.janeapp.com/

How To Warm Up Specifically To Your Workouts If you're like most people, you probably have some sort of ritual for your warm ups. Jumping jacks, stretch out your quads, a couple of lunges, and you then probably jump right into the workout. Unfortunately, this approach isn't the most effective way to prepare for a workout. What you should do instead is look ahead into your workout and see what specific muscle groups you'll be using and emphasize movements that activate those s...aid muscles! For example, if you have a more upper body dedicated day, your warm up should consist of more upper body movements compared to lower body. Here are three movements that are specific to the upper body and also promote functional movement patterns that will set you up for success! Also shoutout to GET MY MASK for the amazing mask!

"By immersing yourself in your work, you become fully engaged. When you’re fully engaged, you find your flow. As you improve your art, you grow your ability. As you grow yourself you grow your job. The opposite is to disconnect from your work and just do your time. " Both Dr. Darren and Dr. Sarah continually work on their craft. Being a Chiropractor doesn't mean just in the clinic, but outside as well. From courses, research, patient reports, and every bit of continuing education they can get their hands on, all goes towards mastering their craft.

Want To Super Charge Your Training? Throw In Isometrics! Isometric exercises involve turning on or contracting your muscle without actually changing the position of the joint that the muscle typically moves. During an isometric exercise, tension is created in the muscle's tendon that is activated, but the muscle itself does not shorten or lengthen. Isometric exercises involve turning on or contracting your muscle without actually changing the position of the joint that the... muscle typically moves. During an isometric exercise, tension is created in the muscle's tendon that is activated, but the muscle itself does not shorten or lengthen. Because your joint stays in one particular position while your muscle contracts, isometric exercise alone isn't a great way to build strength. However, one of the essential advantages of isometric contractions is the role they can play in improving joint stability. Your muscles frequently contract and relax throughout the day to keep your joints secure. Performing isometric exercises on an unstable or injured joint can help improve the overall stability of the affected area by teaching your muscles to fire effectively once again. Another potential benefit of isometric training is its ability to decrease the severity of pain you are experiencing. As reported in a December 2012 systematic review in the Journal of Pain, individuals who engaged in isometric training experienced less pain during and after performing the contraction.

Most of our patients don't get to see how it looks like to get adjusted. Most of the time, it's not what our patients envisioned. I think we all imagine Chiropractors throwing their entire bodies and strength into every adjustment, but in reality it just takes a small movement with precision to get the result we all feel when treated. Both Dr. Sarah and Dr. Darren ensure every patient feels safe and in control of their treatment plan. ... Whats your favorite spot to get adjusted? Low back? Upper back? Neck? Ankles? Let us know in the comments below! **video filmed pre-COVID**

Do You Have Enough Hip External Rotation? Hip external rotation is when the leg rotates outward, away from the midline of the body (the knees are turning outwards). Hip internal rotators are used in daily life with movements such as stepping to the side or sitting down in a car.... Hip external rotation activates multiple lower body muscles Hip external rotation activates a variety of muscles including: the piriformis the gemellus superior and inferior the obturator internus and externus the quadratus femoris the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus the psoas major and minor the sartorius The reference value for hip external rotation is 45. Without hip external rotation, it would also be difficult to maintain stability while standing, walking, or extending either of your legs away from your body. As with other muscles, both strength and mobility are important. Without sufficient strength in the rotators, you may compensate the lack of stability or strength of your hips with your lower back and quads. This can, then, cause eg. knee pain and other postural dysfunctions. In eg. squatting, weak internal rotators may cause knees buckling, resulting in poor technique. Utilizing exercises like this one from Raf's Kinstretch class can definitely help improve the quality of all the muscles responsible for producing adequate hip external rotation.
