Did you know that stroke has become the third leading cause of death in Canada, and the second leading cause of death globally? It is also a leading cause of adult disability with over 400,000 people in Canada living with the effects of having had a stroke.
According to a poll commissioned by heart and stroke, less than half of Canadians were aware of their specific risk factors to strokes. Those who were poled recognized poor diet, smoking and lack of exercise as primary contributors to stroke. Only 10% of Canadians recognize high blood pressure as a risk, even though it is one of the most significant risk factors for these conditions.

 The last 17 months may have been extremely trying, but there have also been positives. Many learned a better work life balance or found comfort working from home. Although you may be excited to be back in the office, socializing with your colleagues, it is important to maintain what was gained, and our wellness team at Natural Alignments, can help.
How can we improve our work life balance now that we’re no longer working from home? There are 3 main areas of focus to create our perfect work environment: your physical desk set up to reduce the strain of working from a desk setting boundaries to improve your mental health, and nutrition for long sustained energy.  Oh what a year this has been. As Natural Alignments officially launched this past Sept 2020, Mississauga’s mayor Bonnie Crombie presented this wellness clinic and yoga studio with a congratulatory letter, red ribbon cutting and memorable speech! She spoke on the importance of taking care of our bodies both physically as well as psychologically. She also commented on the quality of service, aesthetic of the clinic/yoga studio and state-of-the-art equipment that we have available for our patients. Emphasis was placed on the fact that we are in the midst of a global pandemic and paying attention to our overall health is of the utmost importance.
Right after our grand opening Ontario continued a series of lockdowns in an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19. This shut down most of our clinic until we were able to reopen in July 2021. We did our best to hold on over the past 10 months and through practicing patience and dedication we made it! This Sept 2021 we are preparing to re-launch our wellness clinic and yoga studio! We will be launching the yoga studio with complimentary yoga classes, discounts for initial appointments -if applicable, and complimentary one of one info sessions with our therapists! If you are part of the Mississauga Gateway community please join us in October for our breakfast/ information days! Dates TBD! Yours in health and wellness Andrea Lee Natural Alignments -Clinic Director Osteopathic MT Yoga Instructor |
