Hey guys, Nishan from 10 and 10 Garden Centre. We are offering free live trees to those in need. We also collect and distribute donated ornaments, decor and tre...e stands available for anyone that needs assistance through these difficult times. To anyone who has extra ornaments or tree stands kicking around, we are accepting donations from now until Christmas at our garden centre. The free trees to those in need is a yearly tradition for us so any extra items will be stored until next Christmas. Share the word, we want to give away as many trees as possible :) We love you all, stay safe.

Yesterday morning in an interview on CBC, Dr. Williams, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, stated that massage therapy was not allowed in the locked dow...n areas, which was an inaccurate statement. Registered Massage Therapists are able to continue to practice in lockdown regions following the same precautions they followed throughout the course of the pandemic. On a call with the Ministry Emergency Operations Centre this morning, which typically includes Dr. Williams and other senior ministry officials, Michael Feraday, RMTAO Executive Director, pointed out that this comment was inaccurate and misleading, and requested that Dr. Williams provide clarification in the media. A statement will be made by the Government today in the media correcting this misstatement. In addition, the Ministry of Health has confirmed to other media sources and to health regulatory colleges that regulated health professionals are able to continue to operate. Regrettably this has caused confusion with the public and in the profession. The Ministry’s position is that regulated health professions like RMTs and all other 26 regulated health professions continue to provide essential services to their patients. The College of Massage Therapists of Ontario has provided strict guidelines for RMT that ensure safety. The RMTAO is advocating forcefully to ensure that this messaging is understood and reinforced.

This is your reminder to go drink some water Ever since having to wear a mask while working I have been finding myself constantly dehydrated and chugging ALL the water. Am I the only one?! ... Did you know that water can also help boost your energy levels? It can also improve what your muscles feel like - muscles that are dehydrated feel similar to beef jerky (who knew?!). If you struggle with consuming enough water keep reading for tips & tricks on how to increase the amount of water you drink. To help determine the amount of water you should be consuming daily at minimum, is to take half of your body weight (in lbs) and divide it by two! This is the number of ounces of water you should aim to consume throughout your day. For example, if you weight 150lbs you should be drinking 75oz of water daily! Here are a few of my tips to help increase your consumption carry a reusable water bottle everywhere you go (I prefer stainless steel or glass) set a timer or alarm throughout your day to remind you to drink start your day with a large glass of water add things to your water to make it more interesting (berries, mint, lemon, lime, cucumber etc.)

Easier said than done, am I right?! Did you know that September is self care awareness month? Take this post as a reminder that taking care of yourself is essential!

Dont forgot that your health matters and you should always prioritize it! See more

It is also highly recommended that you bring & wear a mask in the clinic (cloth or surgical/medical). -COVID-19 screening questions are to be completed 24hrs before your appointment and prior to entering the clinic. **if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 or have come into contact with someone with COVID-19 you will NOT be allowed in the clinic** - Anyone who enters the clinic will have their name & valid phone number recorded on a visitors log, which will still comply with PHIPA. This includes support workers, postal delivery workers, staff, patients, etc. - Patients will be asked to wait in their vehicle for your confirmed appointment until your therapist is ready at which point you will be screened.
