Over the last few months, we’ve been talking about getting ready for the warmer weather. And it looks like it’s finally here.

The Victoria Day long weekend (or “May Run,” as it’s been known around here for as long as anyone can remember) is the unofficial start of the outdoor season in Northern Ontario. The camps open up. The trails call. The fishing gear comes out of the garage. And most of us, if we’re honest, try to fit three months of activity into about seventy-two hours.

That’s not a complaint. It’s just who we are.

The clock is ticking. Thursday, April 30, is the 2026 CRA personal income tax deadline. It can turn the whole month of April into a long, stressful sit-down. And it’s not just the people that do their own taxes who are in pain. If you’ve spent a lot of time at the computer through the winter, chances are your neck and shoulder muscles are feeling tight and sore. Maybe your lower back has been talking to you. Maybe it’s been talking loudly.

You’re not imagining it. And you’re not alone.

If you live in Northern Ontario, you know the drill. Winter hangs around longer than it’s welcome, and by the time March arrives, most of us just can’t wait to get outside and do something. T

The urge to jump right back in is completely understandable. But your body didn't get the same memo your brain did. After a winter like this one, it needs time to catch up.

That’s what we mean when we say: Spring training is not just for athletes.

As we say at the clinic, “Our bodies are made to move.” The key is giving yours a chance to remember how. Are you ready to take your activity level up a notch? Let’s look at why spring can catch your body off guard, how to make a smarter transition back to activity, and how to set yourself up for a full, active season ahead.

You’ve waited all year for this: the sun is shining, your gear is out of storage, and the fields, courts, and trails are calling. But before you dive into a summer packed with soccer matches, tennis sets, long-distance runs, or beach volleyball showdowns, it’s time to talk about the one thing that could sideline all the fun: injury. 

We are very pleased to announce that France will be returning to her practice at Aston Wellness in early July after spending the last few month travelling in Australia! France is eager to welcome both returning and new patients upon her return.

Spring is finally here! After a long winter, the snow has melted, the birds are singing, and the grass is starting to show again!

Begin 2025 with a focus on your health. Our fitness and exercise sessions can help you achieve your wellness goals, whether it’sflexibility, strength, or just improving your sense of well-being. Make your health a priority this year!

The holiday season, while filled with joy and celebration, can also bring a fair amount of stress. However, with a little planning and mindfulness, you can reduce stress and truly embrace the holiday spirit.

Our next series of classes will run from October 28th through to December 2nd, finishing up just before the busy Holiday season!
