When you have goals whether health, personal, financial or otherwise, stick to them.

Believe in yourself.

I had a goal at the beginning of winter ball hockey to end up as the leading goal scorer by the end of the regular season and I accomplished that goal Friday night.

Couldnt have done it without the help of the team!

Hello everyone!

Hope you had a good thanksgiving long weekend. I'm in the process of revamping my website as well as making it easier to book appointments and leave reviews.
If I have treated you in the past it would mean a lot if you could write down a few words!

Back Pain.

Pain in general is much more complicated than “just put my spine back in place” and problem solved!

There are many factors which contribute to your pain as seen below.

That’s why Chiropractors like myself take time to ask you questions, learn who you are as a person and what stressors you have because often that matters so much more to your recovery!

Spring always comes with changes. Including the mask mandates, masks will still be required in places such as Health care clinics including chiropractic clinics.

Effective today, Ontario is removing mandatory masking requirements in most settings as key public health and health care indicators continue to improve or remain stable.

Please remain considerate and respectful to others as we navigate this transition.

Masking requirements will remain in place in the following settings:
• Public transit
• Long-term care and retirement homes
• Health-care settings
• Congregate care
• Shelters
• Jails

MIND-BODY-MIND-BODY

The notion that the mind and body are separate is simply false. The nervous system bridges them both and they communicate in both directions to direct our states. States include emotions but are a larger umbrella for emotional responses that include bodily responses too. States are also more objective to define.

This is a heat map from a study described in the book "The Neuroscience of Emotion" by Adolphs and Anderson at Caltech. People vary in how they express emotions verbally but the body representations are relatively stereotyped.

We are sophisticated animals but we are still animals and these maps are established by our genome, modified by experience but nonetheless relatively hardwired. Learning to recognize your bodily responses to different mental states is powerful.

More on the science of emotion coming soon here and on the HLP…. how to use the body to adjust mental states and vice versa.

Please put your questions in the comment section below this post and as always, thank you for your interest in science!
