Gardening season is upon us, and we could not be more excited! But we wanted to remind you of a few useful gardening tips to keep your body happy and jumping into summer! 1. Wear sunscreen and a hat/sunglasses 2. Keep your tools near you 3. Wear cushioned knee pads or have a kneeling pad to keep the joint space under your knee caps happier 4. Avoid repetitive or prolonged deep squatting to keep your hips and knees pain free ... 5. Mix up your tasks - physically demanding vs less physical, forward leaning tasks vs overhead reaching, gripping tools vs spreading soil, etc 6. Keep your loads light - small wheelbarrow, smaller bags or buckets of mulch 7. Wear grippy gloves so the muscles do not have to work as hard to grip and thick/leather gloves when working with thorns 8. Take breaks routinely to stretch or put your body into opposite direction movements or positions that you just came from 9. Use a low chair or stool (ideal one seen in this pic:) to give your body a break from kneeling 10. Bend at the hips and prevent your back from rounding, reaching or twisting into odd positions 11. Wear supportive footwear with a solid bottom and a good arch inside (Do NOT wear flip flops or crocks:) 12. See our next post for recommended gardening stretches!

Does your back hurt during or after sitting? Watch this brief video by our Physiotherapist Heather Buckle who shares one really simple and effective exercise/position to alleviate the pain associated with many bad backs associated with sitting. The discs, ligaments and muscles in our spine do not love sitting or forward bending for long periods and when repeated day in and day out, with less than ideal ergonomics or postures, they will start to tell you that they are not h...appy. The exercise above works incredibly well for non complicated backs, but remember, this video does not replace the advice of your health practitioner. This exercise is best for those under the age of 45 years and will have modifications if there is a component of arthritis, spondylolisthesis or scoliosis or other congenital or traumatic spinal condition. This exercise should always be pain free or you should stop it immediately. It is recommended that you seek a consultation with a Registered Physiotherapist if you have back pain that is affecting your function, comfort or quality of life. A Physio can assess, clinically diagnose and treat (no referral required) and can send updates to your physicisn at your request to ensure your entire health care team is on the same page. Questions for Heather? Email her at [email protected] or send a message to any of our team at [email protected].

Physiotherapy clinics have been deemed essential and have remained open during most recent Ontario shutdowns. Having an injury or pain affects your quality of life and for many, your ability to sleep, work, function or continue with your normal activities. Our bodies need to move for us all to be healthy and well, both physically and mentally. We are here for you to help you with any new pains you’ve developed during lockdown, or even your old pains that continue to haunt yo...u. Or if you’ve noticed your strength, mobility or function has declined since the pandemic due to inactivity, we can prescribe you a safe home exercise appropriate for your condition or injury. We continue to offer Virtual Physiotherapy for anyone wishing to seek advice and treatment recommendations from the comfort of your home or you can visit us in-clinic, as our normal hours of operation continue for your ease of use and accessibility. Steps we take to protect everyone’s health: 1. Mandatory mask use by all and additional PPE (masks, goggles, etc) are strongly recommended though not mandatory. 2. Covid screening completed before entry 3. Temperature scanning immediately upon entry 4. Sanitization with covid approved cleaners between all clients and on all contact surfaces routinely 5. Sanitizers available for use throughout the clinic and touch less soap dispenser in washroom 6. Treatment surfaces sanitized and use of sanitized sheets and pillow slips, towels, etc in every room, so double sanitization for each client experience 7. Glass reception barrier 8. Online software for booking and paying to minimize time needed at front desk if desired 9. Arrival time for appointment - do not arrive more than 5 min prior to your appointment. 10. Air filters in clinic and exterior door open for periods to optimize air flow and quality We continue to work hard to ensure everyone’s safety and to ensure we can remain available for you when your body is hurting and needs some professional attention. Our team is happy to help you either virtually or in clinic! Online booking available at: https://lakesidephysiomassage.janeapp.com/ Or text 289-805-2252 to arrange an appointment Stay safe everyone, stay active safely and take care of your bodies! #feelbetter Downtown Oakville BIA - Members Downtown Oakville Oakville Business #oakvillerunners #oakvillemoms #oakvilleontario

Do you or someone you know have swelling in a joint or limb from an old injury, surgery or Lymphedema? We are excited to announce a new Physiotherapy service at our clinic for swelling reduction and management. Our new-to-us Physiotherapist Heather Buckle received her post professional training on Swelling and Lymphedema Management in 2005 and has treated countless clients over the years with this treatment to help speed up injury recovery and get clients back to their lives... and sports sooner, reduce old injury swelling to regain comfort for the first time in years and treat post breast cancer clients for secondary Lymphedema. A swelling treatment when performed by a Physiotherapist entails an assessment day (to assess both the swelling type, the injury itself and determine any indications or contraindications) and the treatments entails a Physiotherapist performed massage component first (Decongestive Therapy, 15-60min depending on the condition) followed by the administration of a sequential chamber compression pump application (30-60min depending on condition), and on occasion, a custom taping or wrapping where required. You will see and feel an immediate reduction in swelling. Follow up protocol depends on the injury or condition, though most orthopedic cases only require 2-3 treatments, a Lymphedema case will require more of a management protocol. Your physiotherapists plan and prescription will be thoroughly discussed on your first day. This treatment is also available to athletes to help expedite recovery between sessions, so if you have a hard set of games or races in back to back days, this treatment will minimize the lactic acid accumulation and minimize the pain and stiffness response between days. Think ahead and book these sessions as soon after the first hard race/game to optimize its effectiveness. Please spread the word and share with your friends, as this is not a commonly found post graduate training and service available, and for those with swelling, you know how uncomfortable it can be and how it can slow you down. Just one more way Lakeside is helping you feel better every day!

We are seeing a lot of different injuries these days while people are at home and trying different types of work outs. It is great to get your kids involved but squatting with a toddler who is moving and changing the weight distribution while bend and straightening can impact your form and lead to an injury. Be careful out there and stick to stable weights first before adding the complexity of a shifting weight while lifting #helpingyoufeelbetter #formiseverything #squatchallenge #healthysquat #physiotips #virtualphysiotherapy @lakesidephysiomassage @physiosharan on #tiktok @ Lakeside Physiotherapy and Massage

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation evolves throughout North America we are operating with an abundance of caution by taking increased measures to ensure a safe and healthy clinic environment for clients, therapists and staff. As you are aware, @lakesidephysiomassage is not a place where a mass amount of people gather. On average our clinic is visited by less than 20 people per day; often there is just one or two clients in our reception area. The flow of clients allows u...s to exercise more frequent and targeted sanitation procedures in all areas of the clinic. Here are the proactive initiatives we are are taking: -Increasing the frequency of treatment room sanitizing -Increasing the frequency of reception area sanitizing -Therapists are increasing the frequency of required hand washing procedures, and taking other precautionary sanitation measures -The front desk team is following standard protocols to ensure more frequent washing of hands Clients are being reminded that if they have travelled to an affected region within 14 days, been in close contact with someone who has travelled, are experiencing or been in close contact with someone who is experiencing any of the signs of the coronavirus, that they should call and reschedule their appointment We are also consulting all available resources on a daily basis to ensure we are staying in touch with the situation as it evolves. We will continue to adjust our response, as needed, to address this issue in a responsible and measured way. We care about your health and safety and look forward to helping you with all your therapeutic needs. #allprecautionstaken @lakesidephysiomassage #helpingyoufeelbetter

Pain is an experience!

STUDY OF THE DAY: This small study looked at utilizing a short psychologically informed video to help address pain-related fear and pain catastrophizing in adol...escents experiencing pain around or behind the patella. Researchers found that after viewing the psychologically-informed video, most adolescents with knee pain had immediate reductions in pain catastrophizing and fear-avoidance beliefs, and these reductions were sustained over a period of 2 weeks, when combined with continued physical therapy intervention. #physiofact https://www.sciencedirect.com//a/abs/pii/S1466853X19304274
