With summer finally here, there are very few excuses not to increase your activity if you have been meaning to do so. Exercise is as simple as gardening or as complex as doing an Ironman. The purpose of exercise is to impact our physical health. Among other things, exercise diminishes heart disease, diminishes high blood pressure, diminishes likelihood of stokes, diabetes, colon and breast cancer and of course, improving mood, anxiety and depression.

Frequently Asked Question
When should I go to a physiotherapist and when should I go to a chiropractor?
A chiropractor is trained to treat spine and joint related issues. A physiotherapist is trained to treat muscle and ligament related issues. Often there is a gray area as to who treats what conditions. If you are unsure as to who to see and you are already a client of a physiotherapist or chiropractor that has a good working relationship with other practitioners, he/she could help determine what treatment is best for your condition. |
