Want better posture? Sit back in your chair and tuck your chin inward.
Roll your shoulders back so the shoulder blades are resting on the upper back support. Tuck your chin back without tilting it down.
This will help to restore the natural curves of the spine and reduce the tension of the muscles in the neck, upper back and shoulders.
Learn how to manage tight muscles using a foam roller. See the following video by me (Dr. Paul Oh). Click the link below.
Athletes Foot is a fungal infection of the skin also known as tinea pedis. When the feet, or other areas of the body, stay warm and moist, the fungus thrives and infect the upper layer of the skin. Up to 70% of the population will have Athlete’s foot at some time during their lives. The fungus that causes Athlete’s foot can be found on floors and in socks and clothing. It can be spread from person to person by contact with these objects and is highly contagious. Follow the prevention advice below to avoid infection.
Graston Technique is an innovative form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization. It allows clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique uses stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas presenting with soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.
The Graston Technique has been clinically proven to achieve quicker and better outcomes in treating both acute and chronic conditions, including:
Cervical sprain/strain (neck pain)
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (wrist pain)
Lateral Epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
Rotator Cuff Tendinosis (shoulder pain)
Achilles Tendinosis (ankle pain)
Scar Tissue
Shin Splints
Lumbar sprain/strain (back pain)
Plantar Fasciitis (foot pain)
Medial Epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow)
Patellofemoral Disorders (knee pain)
Fibromyalgia
Trigger Finger
Graston Technique will be available soon as treatment at Form & Function Clinic. For more information please contact our Registered Physiotherapist Christopher Chmiel.

When we mention environmental toxins, talk hovers mostly around detrimental chemicals such as metals, herbicides, fungicides, and more. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a 2010 Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals asssessing the burden of chemicals on the health of the US population. Among the list of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and parabens which are found among household cleaners, home renovation products, and building materials to name just a few, the virtually daily exposure to cell phone frequencies, categorized as electromagnetic or EMFs, received much critical attention.
In today’s modern reliance on the media, the internet, and other electronic super-gadgets, it is important to become aware of exposure to all types of environmental toxins. In 2008, environmental researchers reported on the probable link between cell phone use with leukemia and neurological conditions. In 2010, a public health precaution was issued in the US for using cell phones. This trend has been carried out in many European countries such as the UK, France, Russia and India from as early as 11 years ago.
One method to fight back against this “dirty electricity” is via detoxification. Among the many organs of detox in the body, one that is rarely overlooked is the liver. Because symptoms of toxicity such as headache, abdominal pain, and constipation, are often vague, it is essential to have an assessment and thorough history performed via your ND or integrative healer. ND’s understand that the liver holds a paramount role in detoxifying the body of harmful substances. Furthermore, the liver supports all red blood cell synthesis, converts ammonia to urea for excretion, and breaks down hormones. From a nutritional standpoint, the liver is involved in amino acid synthesis of proteins, formation of bile, metabolism of carbs, proteins, and lipids, and the storage of glucose, vitamins A, D and B12, and minerals iron and copper.
The affect of toxicity on our health from EMFs has become an increasingly prevalent issue in today’s fast-paced society. NDs can offer tools of support in improving one’s toxin load such as increasing water and exercise, establishing improved dietary measures, or adding nutritional supplements. While our public health departments and government bodies continue compiling data on acceptable safety standards with EMFs, isn’t it prudent to find out what more can be done to improve our quality of life?
