INTRODUCING SWIFT TO THE WELLNESS GROUP, The fast and effective solution for painful and unsightly Plantar Warts How Does Swift Work?... The Swift treatment is different. Rather than destroying a wart by burning it off, freezing it, or pouring corrosive acid over it, Swift uses a highly controlled energy dose of microwave energy directed into the tissue millimeters below the surface. The microwave energy elevates the skin temperature and destroys the infected tissue in minutes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patients undergoing Swift treatments see a significant reduction in pain associated with the plantar wart after each treatment - freedom for what many patients have suffered with for months, years, and even decades.

Pregnancy & Infant Massage _____________________________ Massage therapy relaxes the pregnant patient, increases circulation, improves sleep, reduces pain and boosts mood and it is growing in popularity among mothers-to-be throughout the GTA. Massage Therapy has many positive effects on babies as well, including relief for gas, colic, constipation, earaches, asthma, colds, sleeping problems, teething and several other conditions. ... PREGNANCY MASSAGE Massage therapy benefits pregnant women and newborns. In a study, pregnant women diagnosed with major depression received massage therapy twice a week for 12 weeks. Analysis showed these women not only had reduced depression at the end of the 12 weeks, but also had lower levels of depression and cortisol in the postpartum period. Some extra benefits of massage are: -Tranquil relaxation and stress reduction. -Relief from muscle cramps, spasms, and myofascial pain, especially in the lower back, neck, hips, and legs. -Increase in blood and lymph circulation, which can reduce swelling. -Reduces stress on weight-bearing joints. INFANT MASSAGE Infant massage is a type of complementary and alternative treatment that uses massage therapy for babies. Evidence is insufficient to support its use in either full term or preterm babies to achieve physical growth. The role of the massage therapist in infant massage is to massage and teach parents how to massage their babies. Some other benefits are: -It encourages interaction between you and your baby -It helps your baby relax and sleep. -It positively affects the infant hormones that control stress. -It helps reduce crying.

LOW BACK PAIN? LIFT LIGHT TO SHOVEL RIGHT __________________________________ Dr. Carano & Dr. Tam Can Help!!... Please Read Tips Below: Snow Shovelling- Winter weather can pack a punch and, with the season’s heavy snowfalls, injuries often result. Improper snow shoveling is often to blame. But shovelling out after a storm doesn’t have to leave you stiff and sore. With a little know-how, you can clear your driveway without the all-too-common back, neck and shoulder pain cramping your style. Here’s how: ALL SET TO GO!! PUSH, DON’T THROW. Push the snow to one side and avoid throwing it. If you must throw it, avoid twisting and turning position yourself to throw straight at the snow pile. BEND YOUR KNEES. Use your knees, leg and arm muscles to do the pushing and lifting while keeping your back straight. WATCH FOR ICE. Be careful on icy walkways and slippery surfaces. Intermittent thaws and subsequent freezing can lead to ice building up underfoot, resulting in nasty slips and falls. Throw down some salt or sand to ensure you have a good footing. Once you’ve mastered safe snow shoveling techniques, you’ll be free to have fun and stay fit all winter. _____________________________________________ E:[email protected] W:[email protected]
