NEWSLETTER Thinking About Companionship This Season? HEALTH BENEFITS OF PET OWNERSHIP
Fitness. Pets need regular activity and, if a dog becomes your pet of choice, you’ll also be signing up for brisk daily walks to help your furry friend keep in shape. In turn, you’ll also feel the benefit of regular, low-impact ex- ercise. According to a recent survey, 36 per cent of pet owners said that having a pet has helped them lose weight. Who needs a per- sonal trainer? Social. Believe it or not, having an animal can even have an impact on your social life… in a good way. Walking the dog around the local park or taking it to obedience lessons are just two settings where you’ll have the opportunity to meet new faces and interact with people you might not otherwise have come into contact with. And don’t be surprised if you’re stopped by strangers in the street who are ea- ger to pat your furry friend and find out more about her. Companionship. The sheer presence of a pet in the home can boost your mood, especially after a hectic day at the office or even fol- lowing a difficult conversation. The stresses of life can melt away as soon as you walk through the front door and see your beloved pet, desperate for your affection. Said animal will also be your go-to companion of choice to watch a movie with or cuddle up to read a book with on a cold winter’s day. What’s bet-
ter than a furry hot water bottle who listens to every word you say and doesn’t answer back? Mental health. Not only do pets provide com- panionship and help improve your physical health, they can also provide therapeutic and emotional benefits. According to Ingrid Col- lins, a consultant psychologist at the London Medical Centre, “A pet is better than Prozac. Animals have a completely different agenda to humans, and bring things back to basics. They want comfort, feeding and love. In re- turn, they give huge affection.”

“Is Bed Rest Good For Your Back Pain?” LIVING LIFE WITHOUT BACK PAIN
INSIDE: • Are Your Feet Causing Your Back Pain? • Sudoku Puzzle • FREE Back Pain Analysis • Healthy Recipe
Call IN & Win!
In the old days, when your back was hurting, your doctor told you to rest until it felt better. However a lot has been learned about proper treatment for back pain since those days, and gone are the days of prolonged bed rest. New studies show that proper movements, posture and a gradual return to activities, has been found to be much more successful to control back pain. This allows you faster pain relief and a return to normal pain- free activities. Bed rest and inactivity have been shown to weaken muscles and bones. Whereas exercise in general, increases strength and flexibility of the muscles, aiding in healing through increased blood flow to the affected area. It has also been found that exercise and aerobic activity, like walking, assists in bringing nutrients to structures in the spine. Some of these structures, like the discs between your
vertebrae, have a poor blood supply and rely on your body’s movements and aerobic activity to circulate nutrients. When a person is inactive, less of these nutrients are able to get to the structures in the spine to keep them healthy. In our SPINE program we look at your individual health history, as well as your current mobility level and interests. Based on this, our physiotherapists put together an individualized exercise program specifically for you. They will help guide you back into your previous activity level without pain. In addition to exercise, physiotherapy utilizes a variety of gentle modalities such as ultrasound, electric stimulation, massage and heat or cold therapy to help relieve muscular spasms. Our program will first relieve your pain and then provide exercises to restore your strength and instruct you in how to prevent your symptoms from recurring.

ARE YOUR FEET CAUSING YOUR BACK PAIN? When your foot hits the ground, your whole body feels the effect. Imagine in your car if your shock absorbers were worn out. You would feel every bump and jolt from the road. Your feet and legs are much the same way. The greater the impact of your step, the more impact it has on your body. Print sudoku http://1sudoku.com
Sometimes our legs are not quite the same length due to joint replacements or arthritic conditions in the ankle, knee, or hip. Even small differences may cause back or leg pain. A smal heel lift can often change symptoms dramatically. Many times tightness intheanklecanalsocontributetobackpain.When the ankle joint is tight, this essentially makes that leg “longer” which can cause the spine to curve slightly and result in back and leg pain.
