With the warm weather finally making an appearance, many of us are jumping on our bikes or hitting the trails for a run. Be sure to go easy your first few times out and make sure to keep yourself hydrated. You might need to get your biked tuned up and while you’re at it, get yourself tuned up with a visit to your RMT for a great pre or post treatment.

For all you runners doing a spring half, full marathon or the vaunted 30 km in the hammer.
Please make sure you take the time to warm up before shoveling your snow. Take lots of breaks, don’t twist and use your legs to lift.

When it comes to healthcare, patients should play an active role. Showing up for appointments is not enough. Exercises and stretches are given by your therapist in order to facilitate recovery and prepare you for your next treatment. It’s the same as having a golf lesson and going to the range to practice. Your golf professional expects that you will practice your golf drills prior to your next lesson. Your therapist expects the same. After all you are paying for your treatment or your lesson. It would be wise to make use of your time and money.
