Before we opened the doors of OCR in April 2015, we had this wall painted by @joeltellierdotcom To us, as owners, this message represents our desire to help make positive changes in people’s lives, through improving their health, creating a sense of community, and making a small difference in the world we live in. Not tomorrow, or later, but NOW. . . There is no better time than now to take action against racism. Please help us support Toronto’s Black community by purchasing... a puzzle of this iconic wall art on Ossington Ave. All proceeds from each puzzle sale will be donated to the Black Legal Action Centre (BLAC) of Ontario. . . #IfNotNowThenWhen . . The link to purchase a puzzle is in our bio. . . Thank you so so much for supporting us over the past 5 years. Let’s work together to make a change and show up for the Black community in ways that we have failed to do in the past. . . A bit more about PieceTogether @wepiecetogether and BLAC: . . Toronto’s award-winning duo of creative designer Paddy Harrington (founder of @frontier.is ) and celebrated printer Rich Pauptit (president @flashreproductions ) recently launched PieceTogether. They worked with local businesses to create jigsaw puzzles featuring custom designs that reflect each beloved establishment, donating all profits, (a minimum of $15) from every sale directly back to the business. We will be donating all proceeds from our puzzle sales to the Black Legal Action Centre. https://www.blacklegalactioncentre.ca/ . . ‘The mission of the Black Legal Action Centre (BLAC) is to educate, advocate, and litigate to combat individual and systemic anti-Black racism in Ontario.’ ‘We will focus on working with our community and others with a goal of reciprocal and respectful listening and learning. Through rigorous community engagement and by challenging historically oppressive institutions, BLAC will endeavour to explore, understand, and re-imagine what it means to be Black in Ontario.’ . . #BLAC #blacklegalactioncentre #wepiecetogether #puzzle #puzzles #blacklivesmatter #ifnotnowthenwhen See more

Gradual re-opening starts now! We have installed a plexiglass barrier and have adjusted our waiting room so it will only be used for rebooking appointments. Our staff have been practicing their ‘smizes’ because they will be smiling at you from under their masks. We can’t wait to safely begin serving our community again! . . #OCRisback #calltobook #emailtobook #invisiblebarrier #gradualreopening #safetyfirst #washyourhands #nomasknoservice #wemissedyou #communitylove #torontochiropractor #torontophysiotherapy #backtoworktomorrow @ Ossington Chiropractic and Rehabilitation

Yesterday, the Ministry of Health announced that non-essential healthcare services can begin reopening effective immediately, with strict screening and hazard controls in place. . . We received an amended Directive from the Ministry of Health which states that a slow and gradual reopening of clinics is permitted as long as we follow very specific requirements described in this Directive. .... . As of Monday, June 1st, OCR will be open and providing Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, and Acupuncture services for patients who have undergone specific screening and require in-clinic care versus virtual care. We will be adhering to all requirements listed in the Directive provided by the Ministry of Health. Please note that we will still be providing virtual care as well as in-clinic care. . . We will be making many changes to our procedures including the following: limiting the number of people in the clinic, increasing sanitization, use of PPE, timing of appointments, etc. There will be no waiting room, a plexiglass barrier has been installed, and we will not accept cash payments. All details of our new procedures will be reviewed and sent to you prior to your visit. . . Our practitioners’ schedules will be limited to allow for proper sanitization and physical distancing within the clinic. Thank you in advance for your continued patience! We know it’s been a long haul and we will do our best to accommodate you. It is our goal to provide treatment to those in need in a safe environment. Your health is our greatest priority! . .

Pain after running? . . Try this lunge progression to assess any weaknesses! .... . The lunge progression goes over any weaknesses that runners have with their running form. You should be able to do these exercises with ease. The lunge is very important for runners because it mimics the much needed hip flexion and extension of each stride. Runners with proper form and technique run faster and use less energy! . . These exercises will strengthen your legs! Do these exercises slowly and with control before adding power. Progress when you feel comfortable. . . Tip: Make sure you don’t cross the midline when you lunge! (front view) . . Let us know if you are able to get to the last exercise without falling over! . . . Disclaimer: Try these exercises at your own risk. Always consult with a professional if your are unsure! . . @docbenfit chiropractor, manual therapist, medical acupuncture, @ossingtonchiro marathon runner and triathlete. . . #swimbikerun #runhappy #runningislife #endurance #runnersofig #runnersofinsta #runningman #runnersmotivation #instarunner #runitfast #sportschiro #marathon #toronto #torontofitness #physio #physiotherapy #doctorsofinstagram #therapy #doctor #rehabilitation #fitness #lifestyle #docsofinsta #doclife #goals #run #running #torontohealth #instarun #runnershigh
