used in our vocabulary. Today they are the primary words and center of most conversations and are all valid concerns. At South Coast Physiotherapy, we are very much aware of the changing situation and are continually keeping abreast. We want to keep all our patients informed of our present status and how we look to move ahead in the future to continue to serve the community. We want to assure you that new protocols will be in place for “Arrival and departure & Bookings and billings.” We worked diligently to procure the proper PPE to remain open through this time alongside our fellow frontline workers in our community. This means you will see the proper usage of professionally fitted N95 masks and face shields within our facility that is equipped with surgically clean air units. Modifications are being made to our facility to account for physical distancing from everyone except the therapist, and proper screenings will be done to ensure a safe environment for both our valued patients and our team members. Please be assured that these changes fall within the guidelines of the Ministry of Public Health and the College Of Physiotherapists of Ontario.

These are just some of the frequent causes of neck pain. It is important that you never assume that your neck pain is being caused by one or another of these issues, and that you instead always work with a licensed and experienced physiotherapist to determine the precise cause of your pain and discomfort. Is Your Neck Pain Caused by Sleep Issues? There is onemore factor that often is not spoken about, but it’s a frequent cause of neck pain and discomfort: sleeping issues. Sometimes, sleeping in a certain position or sleeping on amattress or pillow that is too soft or too hard will lead to neck pain. Oftentimes, this pain will appear to be chronic, as the sleeping issue is likely something that you experience day after day, causing the pain to return regularly. It may be helpful to rule out sleeping concerns as a reason behind your neck pain by assessing your sleeping conditions and making any changes that you think may be necessary. Adjust how many pillows you sleep on, the position you sleep in or even your mattress!
