Exercise. Motion is lotion. It’s the one thing I always turn to, that never makes things worse. And there’s always an alternative if one way won’t work for you due to injury/recovery. #physiotherapistsfavouritetool

[Iris Gorfinkel, M.D. @DrGorfinkel]

Exercise practically guarantees improvements in mental health, physical well-being & sleep, yet 🇨🇦doctors are rarely taught what patients need to know...even though many lack private insurance to cover physiotherapy.

Teaching the basics to MDs should be a must.

PM @JustinTrudeau just announced Canada will be receiving ~ 4 Million Pfizer vaccines in June that were originally planned for later in summer. If we maintain our PH measures w/ relentless dedication, we can get to safety. Come on Canada!🇨🇦

This study out of @UHN led by @AngelaMCheung is investigating the lingering effects of Covid-19, that we are starting to see in rehabilitation. I am so inspired by this team of researchers.

Today we wear orange to remember and recognize the horrific treatment of Indigenous peoples and communities in Canada's residential school system. But there's more to it than simple recognition...here's what UHN is doing to take action on #OrangeShirtDay: https://t.co/FJDcqqh2Vl

[Dr. Kevin Smith @KevinSmithUHN]

This should make us all very aware of the risk of a surge in Canada. We’re getting sloppy! Mask. Physical distancing. Be risk averse on reopening environments of high risk! Bars. Schools.

Very interesting article about something we have all been wondering about. #immunity #Covid-19

[Kristina (Nixon) Smart @NixonPhysio]

@BogochIsaac @BogochIsaac is the thought that people who had more severe symptoms would have Initially carried a higher viral load and perhaps would have more antibodies?
