Does the idea of a virtual physiotherapy visit sound a bit… confusing? 🤨 We can help!
We’ve outlined what to expect from a virtual physiotherapy appointment, as well as everything you need to know to get the most out of your sessions.
Get all the details in our latest blog post!
https://www.mywellself.ca/how-virtual-physiotherapy-works/
There’s an understandable amount of curiosity about virtual appointments for services that would typically be “hands-on”, including physiotherapy. A BC study found that nearly all respondents were able to get help for their health condition through virtual physiotherapy visits. 79% of respondents to the same survey said that the quality of care was the same or better than with in-person visits.
Add in benefits like avoiding the commute to the clinic and the increasing number of insurance providers covering telehealth visits, and you can see why virtual physiotherapy is becoming so popular!
Our bodies were built to move! Today’s #MondayMotivation is meant to inspire you to make decisions that will benefit you in the long-term. One thing your body will thank you for down the road… exercise! 💪
You don’t have to pull out your heavy dumbbells or invest in expensive equipment for exercise to impact your body. In fact, physiotherapists recommend 150 to 300 minutes of moderate aerobic activity each week. Examples include swimming, brisk walking, and cycling, among many more!
What will you do today that your future self will thank you for? Share it in the comments!
At My Well Self, we are nuts about men’s health! 🥜😂 To our male users, a reminder that a testicular self-exam should be performed once per month (see our post from Tuesday for instructions!), and a prostate exam with a health professional should take place during your regular physical. Exams like these are an effective way to catch any changes early on, increasing the likelihood of successful treatment.

“Tell me about it…”. No, really! 🙂 When it comes to mental health, having a support system that you can depend on when you need to talk is invaluable. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the need for social support has been ramped up by feelings of isolation, changes to our usual routines, and of course...stress! Now more than ever, it’s important to reach out to your network of trusted friends and family.
It’s good for your mental health, and for theirs!

Awareness for prostate and testicular cancer is essential! By talking more openly about men’s health issues and ensuring that men are taking as many precautions as possible to protect their health and mental wellness, we are seeing the benefits of increased awareness. Although these topics can seem very personal and difficult to discuss, bringing them to the forefront is a great way to remove the stigma and make sure we are not losing men too early.
One effective strategy to catch testicular cancer early on is to examine your testicles for changes, lumps, or pain/discomfort about once per month. Doing so helps you become accustomed to the usual “look and feel” so that you can detect changes if they occur.

Men’s health matters! November is a great opportunity to focus on the health issues and topics that affect the guys in our lives. While we typically think of men’s health in terms of physical conditions, the discussion around men’s mental health has been increasing, and is now a pillar of the men’s health awareness movement.
Here’s to the ongoing health and mental wellness of our sons, fathers, brothers, uncles, and loved ones! 💙

Some days are really hard. It’s okay if you need to slow down or take a break once in a while, we all do! When hard days start to become hard weeks or hard months, you may consider booking an appointment with a health and mental wellness provider to get to the root of the problem, and work on coping strategies.
Mental health is important, and we could all use a bit of support sometimes. 🖤
A little Kinesiology humour to start your weekend off right! 😂 In all seriousness, Kinesiologists will often assess your gait because the mechanics behind a person’s strides can contribute to back or joint issues. Gait analysis is one of the many tools that a Kinesiologist may use to help improve your physical health and mobility.

Need a bit of #MondayMotivation when it comes to getting enough exercise? 🎾🚴♀️ Here’s a quick fact for you:
People who are physically active for about 150 minutes per week reduce their risk of all-cause mortality by approximately 33% compared to those who are physically inactive. (Source: Centres for Disease Control and Prevention).
Are you trying to improve your diet? Here’s a quick tip that Holistic Nutritionists love:
👉 Focus on adding healthy foods to your diet, rather than taking away “unhealthy” foods. 👈
The reasoning behind this? When we focus on adding rather than subtracting, we avoid the feeling of “missing out” that can lead to binge eating and less-than-ideal snack choices. By adding healthy foods, we will typically find ourselves eating fewer unhealthy snacks, as we’ve already fueled up on nutritious choices.

Please do your homework! 🤓 Your health and mental wellness providers have quite a few tools and techniques that they use when you pay them a visit. One of the ways that they can assist you in your unique health journey is by assigning activities and tasks that you can do on your own time.
Not only does this support the work that your provider does during your appointment, but it also allows you to take charge of your health and apply the guidance they provide in your everyday life.

It’s fairly well-known that Canada takes care of its citizens through public healthcare, but there are a lot of effective treatment options and services that aren’t covered through provincial health plans. With so many of us covered through private health insurance, it’s important to know if the treatments we book appointments for will be covered, or if we will need to pay out of pocket.
My Well Self will soon be here to help guide you through treatment options covered by your private health insurance, matching you with the right provider and treatment for your needs.
Stay tuned for our official announcement!
👀 SNEAK PREVIEW! 👀 We’re putting the final touches on our brand new website, and we are too excited to keep it to ourselves!
Soon when you visit our site, things will look a little bit different...
