This is a nice post from a bunch of massage therapists. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sqgtofnRXTI

This is a nice little 20 minutes video about COVId questions. https://m.youtube.com/watch

Hello everyone. Due to the extension of the State of Emergency because of COViD-19, VMTC will remain closed and hopefully will be allowed to reopen on June 1st. All appointments booked for May will be cancelled. If you have an appointment booked for May, we will be contacting you to see if you would like to reschedule for June. If RMTs are allowed to return to work prior to June, we will post a message on FB. We will reassess the situation prior to the 1st and will be in c...ontact if we need to reschedule again. We are sorry for the interruption in your care. Thank you for your understanding. Upon reopening please be advised that new policies will be enforced to keep our staff and our clients safe. This will include, but are not limited to, a few more questions to be asked pre-session about health and travel, increased hand sanitization for all, possible mask wearing by clients and therapists and keeping our distances as best as we can in the waiting room. If you would like to book an appointment for when we reopen, please feel free to contact us at 902-679-0999, or by email at [email protected]. Please stay safe.

For you individuals who have AS, here is a nice article. https://backintelligence.com/ankylosing-spondylitis-treatm/

There are numerous posts/articles floating around about taking IBP when having been diagnosed with COVID-19. Here is an article a friend of mine who is a doctor shared with me. https://www.google.com//the-ibuprofen-debate-reveals-t/amp

Can washing your hands really slow the spread of COVID-19? That depends on how you clean them.

Quick lesson about autoimmune diseases. It takes an average of three years and five doctors for a person to get a proper diagnosis of an autoimmune disease. It is a disease where instead of your white blood cells protecting your body from invaders, they turn around and attack your cells, tissues and organs. Chronic fatigue is another symptom. It is not a cold or the flu, you will never get better, and even a nap will not help. Just eating a salad and hitting the gym won’t sli...m your face or get the pounds off. Sleeping 10 hours doesn’t leave you well rested, ever. The last minute changes in plans because that just got ran over feeling never makes appointments, it just walks in whenever you aren’t ready. Painful joints, muscles and bones, dry skin, breaking hair, hair loss, mood swings, and depression are just the tip of the iceberg. You are also prone to having multiple autoimmune diseases, they typically come in pairs of two. You easily catch viral and bacterial infections. You have days where no matter how hard you try, you just can’t smile for anyone. I urge you to think twice before passing judgment and thinking our nation is overreacting to the extra measures being taken to curb the spread of this virus. YOU might be able to recover from it no problem however, carry it to someone with an autoimmune disease and that individual won’t be as lucky. I am watching the ones who will take the time to read this entire post and react. Please, in honor of someone who is fighting Rheumatoid Arthritis, POTS, MCAD, Sjogren's, Scleroderma, Hashimoto Disease, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Sarcoidosis, Hepatitis, Raynauld's Syndrome, Diabetes, Mold Illness, Celiac, CROHN’S, Ulcerative Colitis, Pemphigus, SPS, MS, PBC, Psoriatic Arthritis, CIDP, MMN And GPA, copy and paste to your page and reply "DONE" on mine.

Due to COVID-19, VMTC will be closing until April 6th. We will reassess during the days prior. If you would like to book an appointment for after the closure, please contact us. We will be checking our messages daily. We are sorry for the interruption in your care. Hopefully we will be able to resume shortly. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us all stay healthy.
