Lessons from a Broken Arm

I wish I could tell you an exciting story about how it happened, but it was silly.  Last week I slipped in a Zumba class and fell, bending my arm in a way it was never supposed to bend. I went to the hospital and found I have an avulsion fracture of my elbow with...

The Storms of Aging

Shannon Robbins, a talented wedding and portrait photographer, created the image above while she was in school.  It was an assignment to depict an elderly man looking at himself in a mirror and still seeing the young man that he once was.  She took this...

More Backwards Walking

I know, I know, we have talked about this before in our newsletter, but there are so many benefits to backwards walking that I am going to bring it up again. Summer is the easiest time to give it a try, so I (Dr. Dave) thought I'd bring it up one more time.It doesn’t...

More Maintenance

You may have noticed a large puddle in front of our office door at one of your visits.  One might call it a small lake. This is not a water feature that we are adding, though ponds are certainly very attractive and gold fish could be an interesting addition to the...

Why Posture Matters

We talk a lot about posture in our office and there is a good reason!  When everything is aligned well, it works better- more efficiently and with less wear and tear. Anyone who has ever tried to stack stones knows how important it is to get them properly lined...

How is Life in the Soup?

I (Dr. Ivey) had a patient visit this month that came in straight from work.  She had retired from this job 8 months before, but she was covering her replacement for a week.  She told me it was remarkable how everyone there was, in her...

From the Ground Up!

I, (Dr. Dave), did some spring cleaning and I'm getting rid of 12 pairs of shoes!  This is not just because I wanted space in my closet or that I didn't like how these shoes looked- some of them were favourites. It is because I am realizing more and more how important...

The Ceiling Fan

This past autumn when I (Dr. Dave) got back from a trip, I found that Dr. Corey had posted a sign that the ceiling fan in the office bathroom was out of order.  It was, in fact, making a horrific noise when used and sounded like it had reached the end...

Morning Routine

I (Dr. Dave) have not always been a morning person.  In fact, while in University and sharing a home with a bunch of guys, I was known for keeping my alarm clock on the other side of the room (so I couldn't shut it off in my sleep) but then still hitting the...
