As most of you have probably already heard, BC is gearing up to enter Phase II of its reopening strategy starting May 19th and healthcare professionals like RMTs, physios, ATs, and acupuncturists are all part of this next phase. So, this means the clinic will be reopening after the long weekend, right?? Not necessarily, heres why: Our regulatory colleges have submitted reopening plans to the province, which are still in the process of getting approved. In other words, we st...ill dont know exactly what BC is going to require us to have in place in order to safely reopen. Availability of potentially required PPE -depending on what our reopening protocols look like, we might or might not be able to acquire all of the necessary PPE by next weekend. For instance, some provinces are requiring their therapists to have disposable gowns, gloves, goggles and masks, while others are not, and so, at this point, all we can really do is anticipate what we might need and wait and see. Just because businesses can start to reopen, does not mean that its completely safe for ALL businesses listed to do so right away. These are general guidelines and a phasing in of more interaction. As healthcare professionals that will be making physical contact with our clients during treatment, we can try our best to minimize risk of potential spread but a small risk will always be present as social distancing cannot be maintained. Ultimately, we want to keep you and your family, as well as our own families, as safe as possible during this time, which brings us to our last point... Every therapist at Cascadia will be making their own decision as to when they feel comfortable returning to work. And so, we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding. A lot can change from week to week and the reality is, we just dont know our reopening protocols yet and, until we do, we wont be able to offer any firm dates on reopening. We know everyone is anxious to get back to a more normal routine, but we must put everyones health, safety and comfort levels first, which might look different for each practitioner, and thats okay

YOURE INVITED TO JOIN OUR SWEAT, STRETCH & CONNECT COMMUNITY! A message from our amazing RMT, @rebeccatranter Hello, my name is Rebecca and I am an RMT and personal trainer here in Victoria, BC! If you are anything like me, during these changing times, some of us have already started to feel the weight of the challenges ahead. The loss of routine and motivation to stay active, or the connection between one another are hurdles many of us have had to creatively overcome. ... This is why I invite you to join me virtually, for our free - Stretch, Sweat and Connect sessions! This is where we get back to our balance, our routine, and our healthy habits some of us have lost touch with. In these weekly sessions, we plan to go through 20 minutes of bodyweight movements/exercise, 10 minutes of stretching/mobility, as well as time to just connect with our healthy selves again! We hope to offer a safe place to get back on track with our consistency, motivation and overall health! WHO is it for? You, your family, your friends, anyone! Whomever is interested in connecting through a new platform for activity. WHAT do you need? and WHAT are we doing? You dont need anything, just general household items. A yoga matt or a blanket might be nice, but not needed. This is meant for all skill levels and everything will be easily tailored for you. WHERE is it happening? Anywhere you have an internet connection and are able to the Zoom App! This a free, user friendly, video platform for us to connect through real time video. Simply click the link and sign up! https://zoom.us/signup Be sure to sign up ahead of time if this is your first time using Zoom. WHEN is this happening? To start (as this is new for me too) I will run the first class Tuesday March 31th @ 7:45am, and the second class Thursday April 2nd @ 5:00pm. There is no cost for these two classes! WHY are we doing this? To move, to connect, to continue to fuel our bodies and minds while we work together through these changes! Sweat, Stretch & Connect Mar 31, 2020 07:45AM PST Meeting ID: 871 073 679 Sweat, Stretch & Connect Apr 2, 2020 05:00PM PST Meeting ID: 738 524 676

Hey Friends!! After much thought and deliberation, I wanted to let you know that, effective immediately, we will be closing the clinic until April, if not longer (we will continue to monitor and assess the situation over these next couple of weeks). Although this was a hard decision to make, we are all confident that it is the right decision to make in order to help ensure the safety and well-being of all of our clients and their friends and family members. You might think th...is is an odd choice of pictures, but this picture is from the calendar in my treatment room (Dogspirations image for the month of March). I look at it every day and every day it makes me SMILE, I mean just look at that face I think its very important to recognize that this is a temporary situation and, although scary and stressful, it will pass and so, if possible, the best thing to do right now (besides washing our hands, not touching our faces and keeping our distance) might just be to try to stay as positive as possible and be that sunshine that shines bright for those of us that might be struggling a bit more than usual. #dogspirations #community #sunshine #temporary #cascadiahealth #yyjhealth #massagetherapy #athletictherapy #physiotherapy #flattenthecurve #smile See more
