The Ripple Effect 🌊

Have you ever just watched water and how it ripples? How one ripple runs into another, changes direction, or just goes away?

Let’s apply this to the body. What happens after an injury occurs? What compensates? What does the body do to protect itself? What does the mind do to help heal your body?

What is the RIPPLE EFFECT?

I can help you figure that out!

Book - Dr Perron - for a Chiropractic (Functional and Orthopedic assessment) to determine the ripple effect on your body. Let the healing start sooner than later!

THE END

The end of the year
The end of the movie
The end of a book
The end of the road
The end of a trip
The end of a semester

💜THE END OF A TREATMENT PLAN
THE END OF A PAIN/INJURY 💜

There are lots of endings in our life. The END can be a time of reflection. A reflection on how you feel, on how far you’ve come, on how much you have accomplished…

But let’s relate it to your physical health. It could be a time when you reflect on how far you’ve come with an injury, with pains from a motor vehicle accident, a skiing concussion….

What ever it may be, I hope you’ve progressed, become stronger physically and emotionally. You have one body that may seem to be weak at times, but it is STRONG (stronger than you think) and can get you through everything! Don’t give up.

Let 2022 start off better than before!

Happy New Year 💜

Mindset. We can get stuck in thinking one way… and it can be hard to be open to other ways of thinking.

Let’s talk about “It hurts to move so I don’t move”.

There can be so many reasons to pain and that can be frustrating and deflating when we put effort into trying to feel better but then end up feeling the same or worse.

We have to find ways to move that doesn’t cause discomfort, that creates a positive feedback loop to feeling good, strong, confident in the way we move. And we have to be kind to ourselves as gains can take time (and often more time than we allow ourselves)

Set goals
Write out what you do well
Set yourself up for success
Be around others who support you
Affirmations daily

And, if you need help, do not be afraid to reach out and ask.

Having an explanation and a plan to make yourself the best self you can be, is guided through yourself with the help of others 😊

Today. Tomorrow. Yesterday.

Weeks.

Years.

TIME! We never have enough of it. Sometimes we want moments to go quickly and others, we want to slow it down. But the general consensus, I feel, is that we want MORE time.

More time with our family and loved ones
More time with friends
More time to start something new
More time to work on self-care
More time to sleep
More time to finish a project

More time to_________ (you fill in the blank)

So if today is supposed to build or prepare you for tomorrow, be kind to yourself and find the things that went well, even if they were little, that will somehow help in your tomorrow 😍

And do not forget to put yourself first from time to time. If there is a pain or injury that has been bothering you, I would love to assist in helping your tomorrow by having a plan to feel better!

Small but Mighty ! 💪

As a smaller female practicing Chiropractic, I often get asked “how do you do it?”

I went to Chiropractic College in Toronto for 4 years and graduated with a doctorate of Chiropractic. I fully certified myself in Active Release before I graduated and I have continued educating myself through courses ( )

I do what I teach my patients so that I have a strong and functional body.

So, I may be small, but do not let that fool you!

BACK TO SCHOOL!

Who’s looking forward to their kids returning to school?

Are you sending them off with a heavy back pack? Did you know that it is recommended a back pack weigh 10-20% of their weight? Use both straps over the shoulders and a waist strap if it is on the heavier side.

Hopefully your children also get up and move every hour. If it is walking from one classroom to the next, getting outside, or simply a few stretches beside their desk.

Sitting most of their day can create some aches and pains… just like you and I.

A few stretches I like to recommend:

1. Side bend
2. Standing straddle toe touch
3. Knee to chest
4. Chin to the ceiling

Stay active through out the day is important for all ages! 😊

Hanging around… 🐒

I’m a big fan of hanging for my body! Maybe next time you are at the park with the kids, or walk by a park, challenge yourself to a hang. Notice how your body feels before and after. Any changes?

Hanging benefits may include:

1. Shoulder stretch
2. Shoulder mobility
3. Grip strength
4. Traction of the spine
5. Traction of the hip joints
6. A break for your feet
7. Stretching of the abdominal muscles

Breathe slow and deep while hanging.

Let that inner monkey out! 🐒

GOLF ⛳️

Before the pandemic: “Golf is a dying sport”

During the pandemic: “Golf is back!”

Golf seems to be one of the safest sports to play during the pandemic and it seems like everyone is enjoying it!

And I really hope most are, as it is great to be outdoors, it’s a great way to meet a couple friends, and it’s a great way to get thousands of steps in!

Although, because it’s a repetitive sport, and involves a significant amount of rotation in our bodies, injuries can occur.

A few common ones:

1. Lower back pain - this could be for a number of reasons. Not enough hip mobility, lack of spinal stability, a fault in the swing biomechanics, lack of shoulder mobility… to name a few
2. Elbow pain - golfers elbow is a tendinitis that occurs when the force of the tendon (likely at impact of the ball) becomes too much. The repetition causes minor structural changes which brings inflammation to the area and creates pain
3. Neck pain/ Headaches - you may not think you move your head with you golf swing, and for the most part you are correct. But, the shoulders and the rest of the spine, move rotational around the neck, so if it is lacking mobility, you will compensate by changing your swing mechanics. This could cause more strain in the structures in the neck causing pain or tension type headaches.

Have you had your swing assessed? And combined that with a functional movement assessment from a therapist?

If you are interested, message we can we can set this up!

HOUSE CHORES

Not the most “fun” topic or discussion, but something we do very regularly.

Can vacuuming or doing the dishes cause pain in your body?

Leaning forward for a period of time can cause strain in your lower back - at least that is the area I feel most patients complain of.

When leaning forward the vertebrae can have a hard time staying stacked. If the erector spinae muscles and deep stabilizers of the spine can not activate appropriately or fatigue quickly, structure of the spine with have added strain causing dysfunction and pain.

If house chores cause you pain, let’s do something about it!

A couple of exercises to help stabilize the spine:

1. Bird Dog
2. Dead Bug
3. Side planks
4. Supermans
5. Rolling hold

You can find all these exercises in my 30 day challenge. Scroll through my posts to find them!

DAY 29 - INCH WORM 🪱

For all you who ask, how can I get a six pack? Well, this is an exercise that targets the re**us abdominus - our six pack muscle. It is also great full body benefits.

1. From standing, place your hands down on the ground in front of your toes. Bend your knees if needed
2. Walk you hands out as far as you can with holding a tight core.
3. Once you have reached your max, walk your toes back up to your hands.
4. And repeat

Try 30 walks each hand and foot!

2. Make sure your knee is over your ankle and not in front of your toes
3. Make your 90 degree angles with you ankles, knees and hips
4. If you are not able to jump, push back to standing with feet side by side and switch legs
