@GregLehman I would argue that sometimes is just about building the habit of movement and doing exercises. Starting with manageable loads can be an easy win to motivate and encourage sustainability. But that's obviously decided based on the individual's needs.

The Humanities piece for October is a short film that was written, narrated and directed by Peter Collins from inside a Canadian prison. Even though it's short it's not an easy task to watch it till the end.

One thing that took me a long time to figure out is that getting support when you need it actually makes you stronger, not weaker. People succeed and have better chances when they get the help they need. Don't sit on it!

[Christine Petrides @C_Petrides]

The pain support group is cancelled for this month. It's been a busy month with vacation and work and life in general, but it will be back next month! You can sign up now to join the session coming up in October. Now in the evening!

My toddler had a tummy ache…so he put a band aid on it 🩹

Whether it’s ritual or expectations, the band aid was doing its magic.

Sometimes it’s ok to put a hot pack on or wear a brace—or wear a band-aid—if it gives you some control and let’s you keep being you.

New Blog up! The greyness of it all does stir up a lot for clinicians and patients alike, but here are just some of my thoughts about this and why I do what I do.

Placebo and placebo effect are well-researched areas of the healthcare experience, but yet still feel like a dirty secret. This month we will explore why.
