When you get off your Zoom call, do your first few steps feel like you're dragging around a block of cement? With the increased sitting you are all doing, no doubt you are starting to feel the effects in your bodies. Although the tendency is to think that you can 'just walk it off', often than not, your bodies are trying to tell you that something is not quite right. ... Pain and stiffness are signs that something needs to change. Don't wait until these signs are completely stopping you! Come for an assessment which can be done in person OR online. Most issues can be determined by visual cues and exercises and stretches can be monitored in the same way. Don't put off your first appointment because you are isolating at home. Book online with us and learn ways to improve your posture and strength that will assist you as you continue to work from home. See more

You are having a fantastic day and then all of a sudden, you feel this familiar tightness in your neck and at the back of your head. Uh-oh, you know this all too well... Headaches may be caused by many factors. A common source of headaches could be dysfunction in the pelvis and sacrum. The beginning of all assessment is to make sure the sacrum is aligned and moving properly.... Through the spine and the craniosacral system, dysfunctions in the pelvis can affect the tension in the neck and head. In osteopathy, we are trained to not only look at your symptoms but also to uncover the root cause of your symptoms. Often, where you have pain may not be where the dysfunction is. Comment 'yes' below if you haven't been able to figure out the root cause of your headaches.

Do you wonder what we are doing when you bend, twist, and move with our hands on you? The sacrum is considered the foundation bone of the body and formed by the union of five sacral vertebrae. It plays an essential role in the transmission of ascending and descending forces entering the body and is integral to functions such as standing and walking. Acting as the keystone of the pelvis, the sacrum articulates above with the 5th lumbar vertebra and its intervertebral disc..., bilaterally with the innominate bones and below with the coccyx. An essential step in treatment is the assessment of the pelvis, more specifically of the sacrum. A thorough and precise assessment is important in order to identify the accurate lesion and subsequently provide the appropriate treatment techniques. The evaluation of the sacrum relies heavily on asymmetry of landmarks, relative tension within the attached ligaments as well as both passive and active motion tests to ensure appropriate dissociation between structures. That sacrum! It provides us with a lot of information. All to help you better

Do you know your A, B, C's? Such an important foundation for basic health and wellness. A is for ALIGNMENT. In the first picture, JoAnn is working on alignment, keeping the hips and pubic bone level with a slight gap under the small of the back. This ensures deep engagement of the core muscles, which are important for stabilizing the back. B is for BREATHING. In the second picture, JoAnn is focusing on feeling her breath as her belly rises and falls.... C is for CONNECTION. In the final picture, she is maintaining this position as she continues to inhale and exhale, deepening her connection to the core muscles. When we focus on working our inner core, we are not working on strength, we are teaching our body to activate our deeper muscles. #thrivetherapeutics #barriephysio #therapeuticpilates #pilatesforrehab #movementrehabilitation #movementeducation #movementishealing #corestrength #Physiotherapy
