Just because the days are cooler and darker doesn’t mean movement has to stop.

Bundle up and enjoy a brisk walk along the waterfront, try a cozy indoor yoga class 🧘‍♂️, or explore local trails on a clear afternoon. Gentle, consistent movement keeps your spine strong, improves flexibility, and helps reduce seasonal stress.

If back pain or stiffness is slowing you down, there are safe ways to stay active and supported through the winter months.

Sitting for long periods can take a real toll on your body. 🪑

Use your breaks to reset your spine and reduce stiffness.

Try these three movement resets during your workday:

👉 Move every 15-20 minutes and do a 60-second spine circuit: Stand up, do 5 chin nods, 10 shoulder rolls, gentle side bends, and a light torso twist.
👉 Walk breaks: Take a brisk 10-15 minute walk mid-morning and mid-afternoon or turn one call into a walk-and-talk.
👉 Active lunch: Step away from your desk for a short walk or a few flights of stairs. Avoid staying seated the entire break.

Small habits add up. Your back will thank you. For more, check out our stretches for office workers 👉 https://mindbodyspine.ca/stretches-for-office-workers/

Most of us know movement is healthy, and we should be doing it every day.

As we become adults, our spines can become less flexible because we tend to forget to move them in a full range of motion. Unlike the movement we often see in children as they perform somersaults and backbends, as we age, injuries often prevent regular movement, which can lead to pain and degeneration. To keep the spine young and healthy, it needs to move, just like all the other joints in your body.

Here's a simple way to get started:

Take 2–3 minutes each morning or evening to move your spine in all six directions:

👉 Flexion (forward bend)
👉 Extension (gentle backward arch)
👉 Side bends (left and right)
👉 Rotation (twist left and right)

These motions keep your joints lubricated and your back feeling less stiff.

That nagging muscle pain… what’s really behind it? 🤔

Sometimes it’s as simple as overuse or poor posture, but other times it can be your body’s way of telling you something deeper is going on.

When you come to me, I don’t just look at the sore spot. I take the time to understand how your whole body works together, including your posture and alignment, as well as the subtle imbalances that may be putting extra stress on your muscles.

By improving spinal alignment and supporting your body’s natural healing process, we can relieve pain, restore mobility, and help prevent those aches from returning. Your spine is at the centre of everything you do, and when it’s healthy, the rest of your body has a chance to thrive. 🌿

If you’ve been putting off getting help, consider this your sign to take that first step. I’d love to help you feel better and move with more ease again. 💙

✨ Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore ✨

Do you notice clicking or popping in your jaw?
Persistent aching when you chew or talk?
Headaches or earaches with no clear cause?

These could all be signs of TMJD (temporomandibular joint disorder), a condition that affects the jaw joint and can impact your comfort and quality of life.

The earlier TMJD is addressed, the easier it is to relieve tension, restore balance, and prevent symptoms from getting worse. Chiropractic care provides gentle, natural support to enhance jaw function and alleviate discomfort.

At Mind Body Spine, we’ll work with you to uncover the cause of your pain and create a personalized plan to help you feel better. 💙

Let's talk about taking control of your health!

We all deal with stress, whether it comes from work, family, or simply sitting in traffic. However, remember that you can control how you react to it. Meditation, proper sleep, and physical activity have made a huge difference for me. Implementing these strategies, along with others, can help reduce inflammation in the body.

💻 That forward head tilt while scrolling might be triggering more than neck pain.

Poor posture places extra strain on your upper spine and surrounding muscles, creating tension that can directly trigger migraine episodes.

When your head sits forward:
🍂 Every inch adds 4.5kg of pressure to your spine
🍂 Neck muscles become chronically tense
🍂 Blood flow to the brain may be restricted
🍂 Nerve pathways can become irritated

Proper alignment matters for migraine prevention!

Curious if your posture may be contributing to your headaches? We can help assess and correct spinal alignment issues.
