Public Health Ontario has issued increased Influenza warning!

Symptoms to Watch for:

Symptoms often appear suddenly ("hit by a truck" feeling) and may be more severe than recent H1N1-dominant years.

High Fever: Often exceeding 38°C (100.4°F).
Severe Fatigue: Exhaustion that comes on very quickly.
Respiratory Issues: Dry cough and sore throat.
Body Aches: Intense muscle and joint pain.
Gastrointestinal Distress: Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea (more common in children).

Actionable Advice

Vaccination: It is not too late for the 2025 shot. It provides essential protection against H1N1 and Influenza B, which are also circulating.

Early Treatment: If symptoms appear, contact a doctor within 48 hours to discuss antiviral medications (like oseltamivir), which can reduce symptom duration and prevent complications.

Hygiene & Distancing: Wash hands frequently, wear a mask in crowded indoor spaces, and stay home if sick to avoid spreading the virus.

Monitor "Red Flags": Seek immediate medical attention for difficulty breathing, chest pain, confusion, persistent high fever, or signs of dehydration.

The three host nations have already been pre-assigned to a group:
Mexico in Group A
Canada in Group B
USA in Group D

Fans can watch live coverage of the draw on FIFA.com and FIFA's official social media channels.

Movember isn’t just about the moustache—it’s about the message.
Athletic Therapy Ontario is joining thousands of Canadians this month to raise awareness for the issues impacting men’s lives: mental health challenges, su***de prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Every man deserves access to care, support, movement, and community.
Every conversation has the power to change a life.
Every early screening can save one.

This November, let’s normalize the tough talks, celebrate progress, and stand with the men who are fighting visible and invisible battles. Whether you’re an athlete, father, friend, patient, or colleague—your health matters.

Let’s grow together. Let’s move together. Let’s champion men’s health together. 💙

We don’t usually picture factory floors, warehouses, or construction sites when we think of athletic performance, but Briotix Health is recommending that maybe we should.

Every day, workers lift, push, stretch, and balance through physically demanding routines that rival what some athletes do in training. Join Athletic Therapy Ontario in cheering on the Industrial Athlete.

Athletic Therapy Ontario shoutout to the 112th GREY CUP GAME this Sunday in Winnipeg. Saskatchewan Roughriders vs Montreal Alouettes.

It was a heartbreak to see the Hamilton Ti-Cats lose the Eastern Final and their spot in the big game this year, but many of the sports writers are picking the Roughriders to win their first Grey Cup since 2013.

Don't miss Canada's annual football finale. Ontario's Athletic Therapists will be cheering on the teams.

Today, on Indigenous Veterans Day, we honour and remember the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples who have served — and continue to serve — in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Their courage, sacrifice, and contributions are a vital part of our shared history. Athletic Therapy Ontario stands in gratitude and remembrance of all Indigenous veterans who dedicated themselves to protecting our land and people.
