Fall has arrived!

October is our anniversary month and we recently held a customer appreciation week. Prizes were awarded for a lucky few of many that entered a customer satisfaction survey - many thanks for doing that! Congrats to Lynda, Michael, Claudia, Robyn and Francisco who won valuable apple creek products. Special thanks to Chris at the Stouffville Canadian Tire who donated a magic bullet to the prize table. Some of those who were in the clinic last week for therapy might have been awarded one of our t-shirts. If you missed yours last week, ask us next time you're in or send us an email applecreek@applecreeksports.com and we will get you hooked up!

Tips to stay away from the clinic :)

Lift Right:

Make sure your back is straight and always bend your knees.
Carry the load close to your body.
Avoid heavy lifting immediately after bending or kneeling.

Kneel to Plant:

Use knee pads or a kneeling mat to reduce the strain while you plant and weed.
Keep your back straight and stop frequently to take a break.

Rake Right:

Ease the strain on your back by putting one leg in front, the other behind.
Switch legs and hands from time to time.

The Right Tools:

Choose tools that are ergonomically designed, with long padded handles and spring action.
Make sure the size and weight are right for you.
Always choose the proper tool for the job you're doing.

General Tips:

A good cart or dolly makes moving heavier loads a breeze.
A wheelbarrow that is lightweight and has two wheels is a good idea.
Separate larger loads into several small ones.
Select comfortable, thick soled, supportive shoes.
Alternate between light and heavy jobs.
Before you start, warm up your muscles.
Change positions frequently.

NEWS!
As of January 2017, John will be making all of his appointments 1 hour to further the osteopathic effect of his treatments. We will also be adding a second osteopathic practitioner in the new year to accommodate the high demand for the service - more to come!

Holiday Season is around the corner! Don't forget that an hour massage is a great gift. Pick up your gift certificates today!
