Now accepting more in clinic patients!

 We are excited to announce that we are now accepting more in clinic patients for Physio, Chiro and Massage! Our team is ready to assist you with in clinic care, but doing so in a thoughtful, gradual and strategic way.

We are following all policies and recommended procedures put forth by the Ministry of Health, Public Health and all applicable Regulatory Colleges (Physiotherapist, Chiropractors and Massage Colleges of Ontario). This means that things will look a little different from what they were before.  With that being said, one thing has not changed: our commitment to your safety and helping you reach your treatment goals.

A few changes to note:

• All in-clinic patients will be screened for symptoms prior to their visit 
• Expect physio treatments to include a hybrid of in-clinic and virtual sessions
• You will be asked to wait in your car until we call you in for your appointment. We kindly ask any accompanying members to wait in the car if possible
• Masks and hand sanitizer use will be mandatory when entering the clinic
• Therapists schedules have been adjusted to allow for physical distancing between staff and patients
• All staff will be in appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• You will notice the addition of plexiglass barriers as well as floor markers to help maintain compliance with provincial regulations of physical distancing 

On behalf of the team, we would like to thank you for your cooperation and support during this difficult time as we continue to navigate and adapt the best possible solutions for the safety of our team and patients.  

If you would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us and one of our patient experience coordinators will be happy to help you!

We look forward to seeing you all again,

Your Team @ JointAction Physio

Working from home?

Have you found yourself experiencing headaches more frequently? Back stiffness? Neck tightness? Or just general discomfort throughout your body? Have you recently shifted to working from home over these past 2 months in response to the COVID-19 pandemic?

These new symptoms and your recent shift to working from home may be related. As we all continue to navigate the ‘new normal’ we have adjusted by increasing the time we spend in front of our work station at home. We may feel that we are less productive and in response end up working overtime to try and make up for the loss in productivity. All of these things can accumulate into decreased activity and increased time spent in sustained postures. Our work station set up can further increase these symptoms!

Neck tightness and related headaches can be related to the positioning of your neck. Try and keep the computer screens at eye level. If possible try and set up your work station so that the screen is also positioned in front of your body so you don’t need to turn your neck. Back tightness and general stiffness can be related to the chair that you are sitting on. Try and maintain a 90 degrees bend in your knees when sitting.

Overall, the WORST posture is the posture you end up staying in for a long time! Try and give yourself routine breaks to get yourself moving – even if it’s a 30 second break! Whenever possible stand up and take a few steps.

If you have any questions or need any help with the work station set up – telerehabilitation is an excellent way for physiotherapists to get a live look at your current work station. We can work together to develop the work station that is best for you and your job!
