We hope everyone is staying safe during these times. Now more than ever it is important to stick together and do our part to flatten the curve. We remain open during this time, however, we are unable to offer massage therapy at the current moment. You should be receiving a call from us if you have an upcoming appointment for massage.

Furthermore, in efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19, please give us a call to reschedule your appointments or switch to telehealth (video or phone appointment) if you have:

- been to a COVID-19 exposure site and do not have a negative test result
- if you are awaiting a COVID-19 test or COVID-19 test result
- if you have had a COVID-19 test come back positive in the last 14 days
- if you are considered a direct contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 (and have yet to receive a negative test)
- if you have been outside of Nova Scotia within the past 14 days
- if you have new and or worsening cough, fever, shakes, chills, loss of taste, and/or loss of smell

If you are concerned with any of the following, please do not hesitate to contact 811 for further direction.

Your safety is our number 1 priority! Thank you for the continued support and resiliency throughout this time.

Gardening season is upon us! Here are some tips and tricks to avoid back strain this spring and summer:

1. Lifting:
- Always remember to bend your knees and lift with your legs when transferring bags of soil or stones OR break down bags into smaller containers for easy transfer.
- Use a wheelbarrow or cart to move items long distances.

2. Planting:
- Frequent bending and leaning over can cause back pain and strain. Try using longer tools that can be used while standing.
- Ensure you have a soft cushion or gardening pad to kneel on during planting and take frequent breaks to stand up and stretch.

Stay safe and happy planting!

When we live with a long-standing disability, chronic condition or injury, it can be challenging to forge a way ahead in our rehabilitation journey. Although it can be tough to seek help, talking to a psychologist can be a vital way to care for not only our mental health, but our physical health as well. https://www.cbi.ca/-/the-role-of-psychology-in-all-aspects-of-your-rehabilitation-journ-1
