Has the warm weather put a spring in your step? You can see it in the parks and also throughout the neighbourhoods – people are getting out for a walk. It still ranks as one of the best forms of overall exercise for the vast majority of our population. The low intensity walk can strengthen our heart and lung functions. It can play a significant part in managing higher blood pressure and diabetes. Both bones and muscles do strengthen from even low impact. Many times people will describe better balance and coordination after a short period of new walking.And what about the benefit of walking for our mental well being! That one is almost immeasurable. Many people are sharing with me the “good feelings” that come over them with getting out for a good walk. Is your back pain keeping you from getting out for a walk? Does your lower back hurt when you walk? There are chiropractic solutions to these common problems. Give Dr. Garry Butwell, DC a call if your back pain is limiting you on your walks. ...

I am a Gestalt Psychotherapist. Gestalt theory says that "Nothing changes until we accept what is". I have spoken to White, Black and POC and one thing that remains consistent is that we don't have a language to speak to each other. We are afraid to have the conversation. White people don't want TO HURT or to misunderstand. BIPOC don't want to BE HURT or to be misunderstood. I know there is racism out there AND I also know there are MANY people who WANT to connect and don't know how. It's just true, it's just what is.I have created a course called the "Comfortable Race Conversation Process". I want to create a psychologically safe container for people to learn how to have these conversations by learning about their own racial identities.My work is based on the work of Deborah L. Plummer Phd. Her book is "Some of My Friends Are...The daunting challenges and untapped potential of cross-racial relationships"I’m looking for 20 people of all races who want to feel comfortable openly talking about race without being afraid that they will be misunderstood.If you are in, DM me “comfortable conversations” so we can see sure that this process will work for you. ...

by Dr. Butwell, D.C.Will you be ready for gardening this spring?I am probably not alone in wishing for an early spring this year. Then weather becomes so comfortable and motivating to get us outside. What do you look forward to doing as the warmer days approach? I do hope that physical activity shows up on your spring To-Do list. For many people, the gardens around their home become a source of passion and pride. I can remember for far too many springs now that there is always a steady stream of over active gardeners limping to my office. In the past I have always commented that many of these people have beeninside all winter and they simply over stretch in their excitement. This year I am quite concerned. The pandemic has led to general stiffness in backs that most people have never experienced before. There could be a significant rise in lower back injuries this spring if we don’t get ready. We still have time to start some gentle exercise before gardening season is here. Please! Start now with short walks. Start back with some of thestretches you used to do. Pull out the Yoga DVD. Better yet – involve the whole family. ... See MoreSee Less
