Sarah Baxter Chiropractor & Yoga Teacher
122 Simcoe St N L1G 4S5 Oshawa, ON, Canada

With today’s announcement of a second state of emergency for Ontario, I know many are concerned about their health. Chiropractors and regulated health professionals have been deemed an essential service helping improve people’s quality of life and lessening the burden. I will remain available on Tuesdays and Saturdays for chiropractic care at Form Health.

It costs you nothing to be kind. What is one random act of kindness you can give today? Call your friend, text or email your family, meditate and send out peace and love. In these turbulent times, it can touch someone’s heart to hear from a loved one. Not only could you give that to someone but it makes you feel better too. #kindness #bekind

There is no doubt that these are stressful times. Stress can lead to tension in the mind and body. It can make you more vulnerable to pain and potentially injury. As a chiropractor and yoga teacher, I can help you manage that tension. I use not only manual techniques to address muscle and joint imbalances but incorporate movement practices and mindfulness techniques to rhetorical reduce stresses impacts. As a regulated health professional, we remain open to help people manage pain and injury.

Happy Birthday to the amazing Victoria!

Lockdown makes it tough to keep moving. Think about how you are staying active. Go for a walk. Check out a local conservation area. Dance in your living room. Clean the house. Simply things can have a big impact.

It might look a bit different this year but the magic is still the same. I choose to make this year magical despite Covid and celebrate the best a d safest way we can. #christmas #covid #magicofchristmas #smallmoments #makethemostofit

This time of year can be very tough for many people. Add the fears involved with Covid and the necessary changes to keep everyone safe including ourselves and our families, our mental health takes a hit. I want each of you to know that YOU MATTER and there are supports out there. Life has ups and downs and ebbs and flows but there are people out there that can help you not feel so alone. Regional mental health and crisis centres are only a phone call away. Reach out if you need. You matter and you make a difference to this world. #mentalhealth #you #matter #youarenotalone

Nothing better than release tension and mobilizing the upper extremity. Try this range of motion flow for wrist and elbow pain. Perfect for desk or computer works. And chiropractors #mobilize #elbow #wrist #motionislotion #chiropractor #yoga #simple #movements

Giving back to the city that raised us is so very important to us here at Form Health. From now until December 18th, we’ll be collecting non-perishable food to ...donate to the Back Door Mission For The Relief Of Poverty. Their mission is to help relieve the burdens of poverty and social dislocation within the economically deprived and street population of Oshawa. We urge our patients to bring in what they can to help those less fortunate find their way this holiday season. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! #oshawa #formhealth #backdoormission #downtownoshawa #chiropractors #durhamregion

Yep, the chiropractor gets adjusted to. Super grateful for Dr. Armstrong helping me stay pain free so I can be there for my family, patients and students.

The hip joint needs to be mobile and stable. Unfortunately many of us lack the mobility making us rely on other areas (usually the lower back) to create the needed range for an activity. Check out one of my fav flows to improve hip mobility. Always check with your practitioner first before attempting and honour your pain free range. Make sure to keep the foot flexed to protect knee. And it optional to pull legs in towards the chest. If it’s too tough to lie on floor fo...r your body, perform in your bed or seated in a chair. For help with your hip and back pain, book a consultation with me at FORM Health 905-240-3676

When we found out our daughter had hip dysplasia I started looking at baby items so differently. Anything that brought her legs in front of her was a no-no. Why? They bring the hips into adduction which is not the best alignment for her growing hips. Now that she is out of the harness, we want to continue to support her hip development without compromise. No exersaucers or jolly jumpers and her high chair was a concern for me. After some research I found the @theupse...at. Recognized by the @international_hip_dysplasia Institute as hip healthy and developed by physicians and physiotherapists. It is different from other seats as the legs are in abduction. As a #chiropractor that works with poor posture, it has the added benefit of a wedge that helps support her posture muscles so she is not slouched in the seat. It adapts to fit on a chair or on the floor. Light weight and easy to clean. She loves it and this Mumma feels comfortable with her in it. Thank you Upseat! #hipdysplasia #babygirl #sitting #posture

How you move.....when dealing with chronic pain or pain that begins after a specific activity, you must consider if how you move. Awareness of how your are accomplishing a task is the first step. After that incorrect movement pattern is identified and changed, pain should start to release and hopefully not come back. It may seem like work, it is, but it is worth it. If you are working through pain, consider how you are moving? And get help to identify and change that pattern. DM me if interested in learning how I can help you move better and get back to your life. #chiropractor #movement #awareness #change #patterns #pain #relief #injury #fix

Tight hip flexors from sitting too much can potentially contribute to low back pain. This sequence can help create space through the hip flexors and front of the hips. Block is optional.

We will remember them and the sacrifices they made so we can all be here and go after our dreams. Thank you to our soldiers and veterans
