Hopefully everyone has been having a great summer and is looking forward to great times ahead this fall.
We have been lucky to have such great weather this summer and hopefully you have all enjoyed the great outdoors and heat of August!
“The heat of autumn is different from the heat of summer. One ripens apples, the other turns them to cider.”
As the summer holidays wind down, back to school and fall routines are on the horizon. With that inevitably comes added stress, fast paced lifestyle and many unexpected things.
That being said, remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first!
Most of us today don't let our phone/ipad battery go all they way down to 0. We should remember that we have to recharge and take the necessary steps to meet life's challenges. Just to name a few ways to recharge and rejuvenate; movement, sleep, nutrition, hydration, stretching, laughter, massage, mindfulness..
Feel free to connect with me if you have any questions or comments, I highly encourage you to!
Best,
Keaton

New Normatec Compression Therapy Arms Attachments
|
|
Since March 2021, Keaton has been offering Compression therapy as an added modality to his practice, which can rapidly help with muscle soreness, swelling, venous insufficiency or poor blood flow and other uses. Many have taken advantage of this service as it can drastically speed up recovery post-workout. Imagine not feeling sore for days after training and be able to train at 110% no matter what! Also, it can also be quite relaxing in the recovery chair.
Now available for use is the arm attachments for muscle recovery and blood flow enhancement. Whether your arms and shoulders feel sore, tight, heavy or overused from sports such as baseball, tennis, golf, weight training, try Normatec for relief today! Book online through the site!
With the expansion of my office hours, I have also made more availability for Normatec Bookings which can be booked through the online booking app for individual use. (Link below).
Imagine a pair of pants/sleeves that mimics giant blood pressure cuffs that pulses in segments, to increase blood flow in your legs, which delivers nutrients to your muscles and removes waste like lactic acid.
Sessions last 30 min. 20$ + HST
Your circulatory system delivers oxygen, nutrients and hormones to every cell in your body. Simultaneously, Normatec Compression therapy removes metabolic wastes such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid, effectively flushing your system of toxins.
The idea behind compression therapy is that by increasing blood flow to specific parts of the body, and encouraging your body to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to those areas, you can speed up recovery, relieve pain and improve athletic performance.
- Reducing swelling and inflammation
- Speeding up muscle recovery
- Preventing delayed-onset muscle soreness
- Relieving muscle pain
- Improving athletic performance
- Removing exercise-related wastes, like lactic acid
- Decreasing muscle fatigue
Ask Keaton about adding this to your next treatment, and if it is recommended.

Health and Safety Measures in Place
|
|
The Province of Ontario and the Ministry of Health has granted Regulated Health Practitioners permission to gradually and responsibly reopen their practices, following strict health measures and guidelines set out.
Because of the risk factors and how (COVID-19) is transmitted, measures will be put in place to reduce risks as much as possible especially to those most vulnerable.
One of these measures include wearing face masks. The Chief Medical Officer of Canada recommends face masks, and that they do in fact help to reduce the risk of transmission when used correctly.
Procedure/measures that will be implemented in addition to existing cleaning/disinfecting include:
- Pre-Appointment screening (received 24hrs prior to appointment - read and confirm)
- Screening at the appointment prior to treatment
- 15 Minute Gaps between appointments (This will allow for sufficient time for client departure, extra sanitizing measures)
- Personal Protective Equipment - Surgical mask will be worn by the therapist.
- Patients will be asked to wear masks (Please bring your own clean mask - reusable or single use) If you do not have one you will be provided with one at no cost.
- Patients will be asked to arrive on-time (no earlier than 5 minutes prior) and come by yourself for your appointment
- Patient should sanitize or wash hands upon arrival - both options are provided.
- Social Distancing - 6ft (2 metres) in the building, outside of treatment time (During intake, interview, post treatment)
- We will remove all items that cannot be sanitized to further reduce risk of contact transmission.
- FST Straps are now made of vinyl and can be wiped clean after each use.
