4/27/2020 0 Comments Healthy at Home: Volume 6As many of you have probably heard, physiotherapy and chiropractic services can reopen as part of Phase One of the Saskatchewan Government's Reopening Plan. We can't wait to see you again and return to serving you the only way we know how, with the Mackie Strong philosophy we've had for twenty years that puts the patient's well-being first. Your health and safety is the most important factor for us, so we are following the guidelines put out by the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan College of Physical Therapists, and we have put policies and procedures in place to best protect our community and staff. Watch for more information this week as we provide you with more details and instructions on what to expect upon your return. We will be starting to book appointments for the week of May 4th; thank you to everyone who has already called, emailed, or contacted us - we appreciate your support!! Your therapist will reach out to you either by phone or email to get you booked in, but don't hesitate to call or email us as well - just be patient with our response time as our inboxes are bursting at the seams! If you already have an appointment booked for May 4th or later, that appointment is still in our schedule and doesn't need to be re-booked, so keep your eyes open for an appointment reminder. If you aren't sure whether or not you have an appointment you can always email or call. We have learned over the last few weeks that few things are certain when it comes to COVID-19 and sometimes the information we have is incomplete or changes by the minute, so please bear with us while we work this out for the benefit of everyone. What we can tell you is that we are so incredibly excited to be able to serve our community again, and that your safety is our first priority. See you soon!
We are a part of a phase 1, and are happy to announce patient care will be able to resume as early as May 4th, 2020. Firstly, thanks the beautiful people in our province we have been able to flatten the curve. Without everyone in this together it wouldn’t have been possible. Next, thank you to our government who has worked hard on this well-thought-out plan - we are grateful for the opportunity to start getting our province back up and running safely. Lastly, thank you to our amazing community, patients, families and friends who have all had to make sacrifices in these times. You are all amazing! We will post updates on Instagram, Facebook and our website with our specific clinic re-opening strategies in the coming days but until then, May the 4th be with you! :)  Fitness Friday... This week for Fitness Friday we joined Nadia for a live Facebook workout! You can catch this 20 minute interval workout on our YouTube channel. No equipment required, just some floor space! Unfortunately it only loaded to social media, but you can watch now if you want to follow along, or check it out on our Facebook page! Self-Care Saturday: Yoga & Breathing for Mobility and a Nervous System Reset This week we joined Tyler for a short yoga routine: The most essential part of life is the exchange of air through our bodies and how we control it has a profound effect on our ability to move, think and function. Our autonomic nervous system (fight/flight and rest/digest) is found along the length of our spine and is intimately connected to our posture and breathing. We have the unique ability to stimulate the system with how we control our breathing. If we can integrate steady, deep, belly breathing and postures to open our bodies we can influence our autonomic response. This can improve stress, anxiety, organ function and reinforce changes in our mobility. Below is a simple yoga sequence I often prescribe to help us focus on our breath and improve general hip, shoulder and spinal mobility. Try to hold each posture for 10 deep breaths (fill your belly) in through your nose and out through your mouth. Perform any exercise that is one-sided on the opposite side as well. Give it a try and let us know how you liked it!

| Start with a dowel or broomstick in front of your hips. Grip the stick firmly and do not let it slide in your grip, or you will risk losing tightness in the back rack position. Swing the stick/dowel in front and behind the head to rest above the trapezius muscles (high-bar) or just below them (low-bar) depending on your squat style. It is essential you do not let the stick/dowel press onto your neck, as it is painful and frankly not a strong position. Hold the position and squeeze for 40 seconds (a |  |
typical 10 repetition set duration). For added skill transfer, perform a partial or full squat isometrically to maintain the squat motor pattern.

| What's Up Wednesday This week's edition of What’s Up Wednesday was an entertaining one! It all started with Blaine and Mama D’s rendition of Try Something New Tuesday where they took on the splits. Soon after that our team challenged each other to a splits-off. Let’s just say there’s some room for improvement. Anyone know any good physios? |  |
 | Thankful Thursday As the time passes by we find ourselves being more and more thankful for the little things we have, especially the nicer weather we’ve had lately. It sure has been nice to get outside and enjoy some fresh air with our pets, pals, and partners! |

 | Self-care Saturday We have heard from a lot of you about how hard you are working at keeping up home exercise regimes and general fitness - great work! However, it’s also important to incorporate some meaningful down-time. Reading a book (that has nothing to do with physiotherapy, ha!), doing a puzzle, or any other cherished activities can help keep your mental game strong! |
| Sustenance Sunday There's been a lot of baking done this week, particularly some sour cherry creations! Nadia made a sour cherry pie, and Tennille made sour cherry ice cream topping, cheesecake topping, and strudel. There was also a promise of an Indian potluck when this is all over! |  |

TIPS:
- Remove the kale from the stem! The steam is healthy and nutritious, but not great to chew on!
- Make sure you massage the dressing into the kale! This will ensure the leaves are softer and more enjoyable to eat!
- Rip apart the romaine lettuce with your fingers to avoid your lettuce from getting brown or rusty.
- Add protein options to your salad, such as roasted chicken breast, parmesan cheese or hemp hearts! This will help to keep you fuller for longer.

Healthy at Home Volume 4
This week the therapists spent some time contacting you to find out how we could help during this unusual time, and we also rolled out our new Telehealth system.
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth is a means to interact with your Physiotherapist while maintaining the government safety recommendations amidst the intensifying concerns surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic. You can schedule an appointment with one of our therapists for a phone call and/or telehealth session that connects you with the therapist by video conferencing. These sessions are obviously not hands on but we can listen to your concerns and problem solve to arrive at home-based treatment options.
Booking is easy!
This alternate option to your regular treatment is available with all of our therapists, and can be used to answer questions you may have, find techniques for home treatment, help manage flare-ups of your condition, or update your exercise program so that it can be done at home.
Our Telehealth option is safe and secure, and can be done from the comfort of your own home. We look forward to connecting with you – this is a new way of receiving therapeutic guidance but in these difficult times it calls for innovative ways to reach out and help our community.
Thanks to our entire community for your thoughts and wishes! Mackie Physiotherapy “Strong” will be back!

| Thankful Thursday With the closure of our favourite fitness facilities we have had to turn to other means of staying fit. Today we are thankful for the ability to continue to live healthy and active lives with whatever resources we have. A lot of us have home gyms but some of us do not. You don’t need a full gym set up to stay active, all you need is a little creativity and to take action. If you are wondering about ways to remain active contact your physiotherapist or visit our website. Today we challenge you to post pictures of your home set up, it might be small but it can sure be mighty. Tag us and share your pictures! |  |
Fitness Friday
McGill’s Big 3: Curl Up, Side Plank & Bird Dogs + Dead Bugs
❌ Strength & Movement
✅ Stability & Spinal Rigidity
The emphasis with these exercises is to stabilize the spine through activation of our core while minimizing load placed on the spine itself. They are excellent to incorporate as a warm up before any exercise and can be very beneficial to someone experiencing acute back pain.
An important thing to understand is that there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to performing these exercises. You want to brace in order to lock down the spine, limit any excessive unwanted movement, reduce energy leaks and allow all the movement to come through your hips and extremities. The best thing you can do is listen to your body and focus on high quality movement and control instead of specific rep. counts and time ranges. Get comfortable with the movements and then progress and challenge yourself once they become manageable.

Healthy at Home: Volume 3
Another week of social distancing is under our belts, and we've enjoyed spending this time with our loved ones and beginning to reconnect with our patients. The therapists have taken turns going into the clinic to call and touch base with patients, update exercise programs, and consulted with patients over Telehealth video conference.
Remember that we are here for you during this time, so if you need to contact your therapist you are more than welcome to email us anytime. You can also call the clinic and leave a voicemail, and someone will get back to you. Until we meet again, stay safe out there.

Relaxation seemed to be the theme of our week. This is your Mackie crew checking in with an update of what they’ve been up to at home.
Melissa D has been working on putting together her new BBQ in preparation for the BBQ season and Mat continued to refinish some furniture for his new pad. Nadia is picking up the violin again and Tennille is working hard to get some online lessons up for her students. Theresa has tried playing online scrabble and Emily took her friend's dog for a stroll. Adrian was in the clinic working to connect with his clients via Telehealth and Melissa P got her kids back after self isolation. The Mackie crew have been practicing their handstands and Luke got a haircut thanks to Cayley and Momma D’.
What are you doing to relax? Relaxation is an important part of staying mentally and physically healthy, especially during times of high stress.

Grip Strength Challenge.Goal: Improve grip strength to help prepare for stronger pull ups and deadlifts.
Bonus Goal: Lower risk for all-cause mortality.
How: Hang from a home chin up bar with hands 2 inches wider than shoulders. Use a box to get up to the bar if needed. Hang with the shoulder blades engaged slightly down and back to activate the stabilizing muscles of the scapula (rhomboids, lats, deltoids, traps).
Parameters: 2 sets of 5 seconds, increasing by 2 seconds every week until you can hold 60 seconds. If blisters develop or calluses become irritated take a day off between workouts.
Research: Studies performed by Rijk et. al, 2015, Gray et. al, 2018 and Bae et. al 2019 have found that higher grip strength is predictive of maintained cognition, mobility, functional status and mortality in older community-dwelling populations.
Bodyweight hanging grip strength work is a challenging but simple way to improve your grip strength as well as your shoulder range of motion and stability.

3 Quick, Simple and Easy Ways to Level up Your Rice!
There are so many ways that you can level up the nutritional quality of your rice just by modifying the cooking process! Here are three of my favourite ways:
Which one of these tips are you going to try out next time you cook rice?
Happy Cooking!
There are so many ways that you can level up the nutritional quality of your rice just by modifying the cooking process! Here are three of my favourite ways:
- Replace the water for bone broth! Swapping the water you use to cook the rice with bone broth has huge benefits for your overall health! Bone broth naturally contains both collagen and gelatin, these nutrients are extremely beneficial for improving gut and joint health!
- Add in 1/2 a cup of frozen vegetables! This is an effortless way to increase your consumption of vegetables! Adding more veggies to your meal can be an effective way to reduce the amount of calories you consume as vegetables are low in calories and high in fibre!
- Add 1 Tbsp of tumeric and 1-2 Tbsp of coconut oil! These two flavours pair incredibly well together and add some huge health benefits. Turmeric is has effective anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Coconut oil is an excellent source of healthy fats. Adding coconut oil to your meal can help control your blood sugar levels, aid in proper digestion and boost energy levels.
Which one of these tips are you going to try out next time you cook rice?
