What a great resource and treatment for kids. Safe, gentle and very effective. #strongerbraverbetter #kidsmonth #manualosteopathy

You know that movement and exercise is good for their developing bodies, but movement also provides their developing brain with important nutrients.

The way you talk to your child matters.

Time is a thief. Cherish the craziness!

"If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much time with them and half as much money." Abigail Van Buren

Here for the good, the bad, and everything in between.

You have to go beyond how was school? if you want to get your kids talking about their day.

Yes its kids month but what about the amazing moms supporting our kids as they head back to school and the unknown of the new routines. Check out this workshop tomorrow night with Laurie Shopland. We are exciting to be working with Laurie on some great events coming soon.

Im so proud of you. You are a great person. What a great idea! That was a really kind thing to do. I love when youre around. How can you encourage your child today?

Its kids month here at Newleaf. Michelle, our in-house Holistic Nutritionist shares how the foods our children eat directly impacts their behaviour, concentration, focus and mental health. #kidsmentalhealth #kidshealth #adhdnutrition #anxiety #newleafwellnesscentre #guthealth #brainhealth

When you make it fun, play time builds positive associations with physical activity.

Growing up is a time of constant change. Childrens bodies continuously adapt to different physical demands. Often they sustain injuries and may need a little help with getting better and ensuring the injury doesnt cause problems later in life. Osteopathic treatment, either cranial or structural, with its gentle application can promote your childs health. Children respond well to osteopathic treatment and the techniques used to treat them are very gentle and are suitable f...or children of any age #strongerbraverbetter #integratedhealth #manualosteopathy #healthykids #alternatecare #gentleapproach

HAPPY LABOUR DAY! We are closed today and be back in the office Tuesday.

Remember, its hard to get kids off of screens if youre always looking at a screen.

"Parents need to fill a childs bucket of self-esteem so high that the rest of the world cant poke enough holes to drain it dry." Alvin Price

Chores help kids learn responsibility and build a strong work ethic.

Kids learn by example, so to have respectful children, you need to show them respect.

The greatest gift you can give your kids is your time. Because when you give your time, you are giving them a piece of your life.

Be clear when you set ground rules and consistent when you enforce them.

Children are our future, so this month were focusing on raising strong kids.

It all begins and ends in your mind. What you give power to has power over you. #strongerbraverbetter #integratedhealth #empoweringothers #motivationmonday

Glute Activation - What is it & why is it so important? Due to excessive sitting and inactivity, which lengthens and loosens the muscles along our posterior chain (your backside), many individuals fail to activate their glute muscles. When these muscles become lax, so does our ability to maintain good posture. The hip flexors tighten, pulling our upper body and shoulders forward. In turn, this sets us up for a nasty blend of low back and neck pain, and possibly even sciatica... pain due to pitched nerves around the hips and glutes. Glute activation is different from just performing lower body exercises. Even though youre doing squats and bridges, if youre unaccustomed to turning on or using your glutes correctly, youll unconsciously place stress and tension on surrounding muscles, like those in the legs and low back. The goal with glute activation exercises is to train the glutes to fire throughout all of your lower body exercises, so the muscles become stronger and act as a support system for your core and legs. This level of activation can be achieved through various glute activation exercises. STANDING KICKBACKS: Stand facing a wall or chair for balance. Keeping your leg straight and flexing your right foot, extend it behind you, squeezing your glute to lift your leg. Pause for a beat during your extensive, then lower slowly. Repeat on both legs for 10 to 15 reps. For more great info and exercises book in with Frankie our amazing Kinesiologist.

Low back progression video from last week. We started with pelvic tilt...now moving to a glute bridge. Glut strength > Bridge . Weak gluteus muscles are one of the main contributors to low back pain, patellofemoral issues (knee pain) and faulty gait patterns ... . This weakness can cause issues down the kinetic chain affecting our ankles and can cause further issues with our feet . Here is a simple exercise by our Physiotherapist Interim Chloe demonstrating a way you can start to strengthen your glut muscles . Start on your back and bend the knees to around 90 degrees, roll your pelvis backwards (posterior pelvic tilt from our previous video), activate your gluts and lift your hips up off the floor . Hold the bridge for around 3-5 seconds and than slowly lower your hips down, repeat 8-12 times and never push into pain . Stay tuned for next weeks follow up on ankle mobility! #strongerbraverbetter #integratedhealth #physiotherapy #lowbackpain #kineticchain #progression #ROOTCAUSE See more
