Dr. Marie-Pier has been hard at work hard at this labour of love for our kiddos at the downtown location! These crochet water balloons act as sponges and can be reused countless times! Simply put in a bucket of water, let them soak up for a few seconds, and throw! Fun for kids and great for the environment! 🎈🎁
Thanks Dr Marie-Pier for this fun gift in honour of kids month!

We live in a society where technology is everywhere. We are addicted to our cellphones, ipads and most of us are improperly sitting at desks all day. As adults we are running into chronic issues with neck pain, headaches, back pain and much more due to poor posture. There's a quote that says “it’s easier to build strong children than to fix broken adults”. If we teach our little ones proper posture while using these devices to build those habits early on, imagine the difference it will make for their future selves!
Many kids while using devices will end up in a slumped forward posture. This will put a lot of strain on the neck and upper back creating a rounded upper back and forward head posture. Here are some tips that you can implement so your child doesn’t develop these poor habits - they work for adults too!

-
Have the Ipad or phone propped up at eye level at all times to avoid looking in a downward position. As a next best option you can simply put a few throw cushions under their device to elevate it.
-
Have your child sitting on the floor or in a chair with a straight back. Avoid the rounded shoulders or a slumped position.
-
Get them to MOVE! Take posture and screen breaks every 20-30mins so that they are not in the same position for long periods of time.

Have you seen our new Kids Tree?-

What kid doesn't like to see their own picture? We have had this vision for a while, for our little kiddos to see their picture every time they come! Kids month got us to move on it! We have been loving seeing children's eyes light up when their POLAROID picture comes out of the camera! |

Our youngest "Oak leaf" so far is a 2 week old - our oldest is Dr. Emilie at "8 years old"! ;)
At each location we've had a wonderful artist patient paint us a tree - what a treat to enjoy their talents here at Oaktree :)
Thank you!!!

"In 2017, I began practicing with Oaktree it was my first time having spinal x-rays taken, despite seeing a chiropractic since I was an infant!
As a student, I experienced neck pain with studying, headaches, knee pain, but most of all, persistent tension in my upper shoulders (those trap trigger points, if you know, you know 😋). Despite regular adjustments, mid-back strengthening, acupuncture, MRT/ART, they never went away. On top of all that, being tall as I am, I always struggled with proper neck posture.
After studying my X rays the roots of these problems all started to make sense. When you understand the root you can better work to resolve the issue and find solutions to your health!
Corrective care and exercises has helped not only my symptoms but my quality of life overall. Yes, it took years to get to this point, but had I spent years with no idea that this was happening.
Do you or someone you know need a SPINE MAKEOVER?! E-mail info@oaktreehealth.ca to tell us why you should be the lucky winner of life changing Chiropractic care ❤"
