Smart Backpack Choices for a Healthy School Year

As the carefree days of summer wind down and the excitement of a new school year begins to build, it’s time for parents in Victoria, BC to start thinking about back-to-school preparations. Among the many items on the checklist, selecting the right backpack for your child should be a top priority.

Dr. Stephanie Louie, a dedicated chiropractor at Mind Body Spine in Victoria, BC, emphasizes the importance of choosing a backpack that supports your child's health. An ill-fitting backpack can contribute to various issues, such as back pain, neck strain, and shoulder discomfort, potentially leading to more serious long-term problems.

Backpack Tips for a Healthy Back

To ensure your child’s spine is well-protected throughout the school year, consider these practical tips:

Keep It Light: The backpack's weight should not exceed 10-15% of your child’s body weight. Encourage your child to carry only the essentials to avoid unnecessary strain.

Balance the Load: Place heavier items like textbooks closest to your child's back. This will help stabilize their center of gravity and prevent unnecessary strain.

Use Both Straps: Make sure your child uses both shoulder straps to avoid leaning to one side, which can lead to a harmful curve in the spine.

Snug Fit: Adjust the straps so the backpack fits closely to your child’s body. A snug fit helps distribute the weight evenly and reduces stress on the spine.

Additional Support: Opt for a backpack with chest and hip straps. These features help distribute the load more evenly across the body.

Proper Positioning: The backpack should rest no more than a few inches below your child’s waistline. A lower position can pull on the spine and cause discomfort.

Limit Wearing Time: Encourage your child to remove the backpack when it’s not necessary, such as during breaks or while seated, to give their back a rest.

Choosing the right backpack is a simple yet crucial step in safeguarding your child’s health as they head back to school. By following these guidelines, you can help prevent the development of back, neck, and shoulder pain, ensuring your child stays comfortable and pain-free throughout the year.

If your child is experiencing any discomfort or you’re unsure about the best backpack choice, consider scheduling a consultation with Dr. Stephanie Louie at Mind Body Spine in Victoria, BC. Our team is here to support your family’s health and well-being every step of the way.

Beauty in the Stars

It's Sunday! 

Yeah, it's been a few weeks. Been busy, living this beautiful life I've curated for myself. 

Speaking of beautiful…my boyfriend and I went to the John Glenn Astronomy Park last night- we saw Starlink(Elon Musk’s satellites),  a shooting star with a full moon, in the back of his truck, and lots of blankets! Then we fell asleep….Im swooooooning!  I'm in love y’all! I have always been in love with love. I love this part. The honeymoon phase…the ooey gooey, the fluff, la la land…etc. Whatever you want to call it…I love it! The cute thoughtful gifts(wildflowers and legos), the romantic sweet things(our bubble),how he still gets nervous sometimes, and how I hope to god nothing is in my teeth when I smile, the safety to be weird, the comfortable silences where you get lost in each other, and the moments that legit take your breath away. All the firsts you get to experience with one another. Yeah, good things come to those who wait- and baby I've waited patiently for you. 

Speaking of good things, and waiting…professional life is going great too! The work at the chiropractors office is teaching me more and more why I stepped into the field of Massage Therapy when I did. Doctors are SOOOO fast to prescribe medications to someone when it only affects the superficial layer of things rather than the root issue. Chiropractic care is essential, and it's holistic(no meds required- use your body to heal your body), Massage Therapy is holistic self care. Massage and Chiro go hand in hand…and it's pretty cool I can use my education I have received with professionals in the healthcare industry. Very cool. 

Hand & Stone is cool too…I've made a lot of cool friends(them young ones), and they speak in a completely different language sometimes. It just solidifies the fact that I am OLD. Its okay, my life is incredible. I'm good with it. Per!

So , yeah life is just grande. 

One part that is new and not so grande is the fact that I am still learning things about my past, and learning how to accept and move on from certain things. I'm almost to the point of just not asking questions anymore…and just living in ignorance. I think ignorance is bliss sometimes. Bliss in the sense of ... .What does learning a certain new thing do for me in MY future? Do I need to know? I feel like I need to know how to process, and move on…but now…I'm not even sure what's left to process. I was told horrific lies about someone very important in my life my entire childhood, by someone who I knew was toxic. I chose to believe the toxicity anyways…I had to latch to some truth…and the only truth I was being told was lies. How would I know that in the moment…that it was lies? I wouldn't..we wouldn't. We didn't know. We just didn't know man. We were kids. No one told us otherwise. We lived our life believing a lie, and hating the man who told us the lie. Brainwashing is a powerful thing. Especially on the young mind. 

Anyway, conversations are still looming about…and I think…I think I'm over it. I'm over the noise, the chaos, the unsettling information, the blame, and the hurt. I have been over it for a long time actually…I just wanted closure, and I sure as shit got it. After 20 plus years , I got the facts I wanted. The information wasn't what I wanted - but I got it. Thank you for giving me closure. You were the last one I needed it from. The last one. No one is left for me to heal through. Holy crap does that feel good to type. 

So now what?! We live. We live in the beauty that is our life. I didn't get here by myself at all…so thank you to those involved.

“Every once in a while, things will get you down…just don't forget to look up. There is beauty in the stars”- Victoria Bloom

Perhaps time to get something of your own, Patrick

I'm having a hard time letting go of the fact that a candle was burning in Patrick Sommerlath's window. A lone light in the dark and outside were policemen wondering if he was home, and if he hadn't forgotten to turn off the world's longest candle, he was.

[...]

Imagine if Patrick Sommerlath was lying on the floor under his royal window, looking at the little light he has and saying a prayer that the police would give up. Imagine if he now lives his life crawling. When evening comes, he doesn't light any lamps, only has his small candle, and when he has to make a cup of tea, he crawls to the kitchen over evil high thresholds from the seventeenth century.

If you google Patrick Sommerlath's name, his home address is the tenth hit, surely it feels a bit bare and almost unreal? If we want, we can send him Christmas cards. When I was a kid, I thought Patrick Sommerlath was handsome as hell. Seven years older, tall with slicked-back hair, always in a tailcoat. Lucky Victoria, everyone wants to be friends with whoever has a good-looking cousin.

In previous interviews with the police, Sommerlath has claimed that the second Swish [payment] could have been massage oil or perhaps an ergonomic pillow. I have recurring problems with my neck, and when I went to a chiropractor and asked what pillow I should buy, he said that neck pillows are ineffective.

"But why are they sold then?" I asked. "Because the pillow companies want to make money?" he replied with a question.

How are you, royalists? Are you feeling bad? Are you mad and think we Republicans are [using the situation]? We are. But what honest chance do we have in a country that believes the state of affairs should be based on "Victoria is so nice!"

[...]

And let's also consider which is more shameful: being suspected of buying sex or staying at home when you're over fifty? In Sweden, over 170,000 households have children over the age of 24 who still live at home. Maybe time to take the pillow under your arm and get something of your own, Patrick.

When evening comes, Patrick Sommerlath rests his head on his ergonomic pillow that may have cost him a double Swish and his entire existence. In the window burns a lone candle.

The Importance of Choosing a Licensed and Experienced Chiropractor in Palm Beach

Chiropractic is a specialized form of health care that focuses on the neuro musculoskeletal system. A chiropractor works with the spine, joints, and other connecting parts of the body to restore balance and well-being. As such, it’s essential that those who are seeking chiropractic care choose a licensed and experienced chiropractor in Palm Beach.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or seeking relief from an injury, it’s important to make sure your chiropractor has the experience and qualifications necessary to provide safe and successful treatments. Working with an experienced or unlicensed practitioner can lead to further complications down the line—or even increase pain levels during treatment. For this reason, it's essential to do your research when selecting a qualified chiropractor in Palm Beach.

The first thing you should do before choosing any healthcare provider is asking for references from their previous patients. It’s also a good idea to check if they have any certifications or specializations that signify their expertise in certain areas of medical knowledge. Doing so means you can be sure you are working with someone who is properly qualified to provide effective treatments tailored specifically to your needs.

It's also worth considering how confident the doctor makes you feel during your initial appointment and afterwards—do they answer all of your questions without hesitation? Do they communicate clearly and explain their treatments thoroughly? These are all important things to consider when selecting an appropriate chiropractor in Palm Beach.

When searching for a medical practitioner, it’s important to remember that everyone is different—while one person may respond positively and have great results from one type of treatment, another person may not find success with the same approach. That said, looking into different types of healing modalities can be beneficial as some methods might work better for certain individuals than others. 

Some popular approaches include manual therapy - which consists of hands-on manipulation; exercise-based therapies - which focus on stretching exercises; nutritional advice - which involves dietary changes; lifestyle modifications - such as changes in sleeping habits; physical therapy - designed to help individuals become more active; mind-body practices – including meditation, visualization exercises etc.; acupuncture – using tiny needles inserted into various points around the body to promote healing and relaxation; massage therapy – helping release tension through massaging deep muscle layers etc. When consulting with a prospective chiropractor in Palm Beach, ask about their preferred modalities and whether they offer courses or advice regarding these different forms of healing within their practice.

Choosing a qualified healthcare practitioner can seem daunting due to the range of options available today—but it doesn’t need to be! Researching practitioners thoroughly prior to making an appointment will ensure you get the most out of your sessions moving forward—so take time for yourself now and locate that perfect fit for optimal health!  A great place to start your search could be Evolve Chiropractic Group, located at 489 High Street Road Glen Waverley Victoria 3150 Australia where their team pride itself on providing quality healthcare services tailored towards each individual patient’s needs using evidence-based techniques that help promote natural healing processes within the body while still reducing discomfort levels significantly over time if used regularly as part of ongoing preventative care plans!

Alexa McFarlane (Darwi Odrade on Facebook), Dr. Kym Harvey (Chiropractor) and myself as instructors are doing a class at Pacific Rim College in the Harmonic Movement Bodywork therapy I created about 7 years ago. It's a very useful therapy for working with people who have been traumatized both physically and emotionally. In many cases it goes deeper than massage yet clients normally wear yoga type flexible clothes which helps it to feel very safe. It's often very effective for helping clients dealing with trauma and PTSD. The classroom shown is at Pacific Rim College in downtown Victoria BC where we will be doing the class. The school is located in most of the upper level of the market Square between Johnson Street and Pandora just before the blue bridge to Esquimalt. It uses a gentle rocking movement that covers all parts of the body. The movement is in harmony with the body's natural rhythm and it puts people in tune with their bodies. We teach in a revolutionary way that makes it much less expensive than most modalities. There is a process to become certified that involves visiting the three of us a number of times to refine your skills after the class. These "tutorials" ensure the quality of work of graduates is uniformly high. The healing modality is based on a combination of Trager Bodywork (which was created by Dr Milton Trager MD), Sufi healing techniques from the 1920s and chakra balancing techniques borrowed from yoga. In a nutshell the class will consist of two five-hour days with an hour's break for lunch followed by an optional third day to help people who do massage to incorporate the rocking into massage. It's a revolutionary educational approach which does not have a corporation to "lock it down". It's an evolving therapy and practitioners are welcome to expand it to include other skills. In the first comment you will learn more details through a link to the website which includes open source textbooks. The first picture is of Alexa McFarlane, then Kym Harvey is shown from the class we held at Pacific Rim College back in 2020 and finally me holding the skull. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnvnjRtru_i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

3 Exercises to Improve Back Health

In today's tech-driven world, our sedentary lifestyles can take a toll on our backs. Victoria Chiropractor Dr. Stephanie Louie emphasizes the importance of staying active to prevent lower back pain caused by prolonged sitting. Here are three simple exercises she recommends to promote back health:

Therapeutic Wobble Chair: This innovative chair is designed to alleviate back tension and stiffness. With 360-degree rotation and flexible motion, it helps improve lumbar disc mobility, nutrient delivery, and waste elimination. It's particularly beneficial for disc injury rehabilitation. Proper training by a chiropractor is essential to ensure safe use.

Full-Spine Postural Exercise: Combat daily tension by dedicating just 20 seconds every 20-30 minutes, especially during long desk work. Sit on the edge of a chair, roll your shoulders back and down, widen your feet, and relax your palms in your lap. Maintain a straight head position and take deep breaths to reset your posture and alleviate shoulder and neck strain.

Neck Flexor Exercises: Imbalances in our bodies can lead to neck pain, especially from forward-leaning activities like computer work. These exercises, guided by a chiropractor, target tight muscles in the back of the neck and help correct imbalances while enhancing overall posture.

Incorporate these exercises into your routine to support a healthier, pain-free back. Your spine will thank you!

Today’s Wikipedia, rabbit hole is, when trying to find out when one of my favorite shows 9-1-1 is putting out another episode I found out that actor Rockmond Dunbar has not been in the current season because he cited religious exemptions to The Covid mask and vaccine requirement as part of the  Church of Universal Wisdom, A religious group that I’m a little scared to look into. Apparently he is looking into litigation for wrongful termination because of this. Like, I just wanted to find out if they put out an episode this week. 

Update:

I did a little bit more research and unsurprisingly they are associated with the anti-VAX movement here’s a summary from a vaguely reputable website?

“The Congregation of Universal Wisdom asserts that injection of any medication or other man-made substance would violate the sanctity of the body. The organization is operated by Walter P. Schilling, D.C., who had said that is was incorporated in New Jersey in 1975 and in 2000 had a total membership of “4,423 Souls” in 24 states, with 2,427 members in New Jersey, 1,255 in Florida and 409 New York. To join, families must state the name and birth date of each family member and include a dated statement that they will aspire to live by the group’s tenets. The “customary donation” for a family lifetime membership is $75.

The group’s religious tenets (shown below) express fundamentalist chiropractic theory in religious terms. They say, for example, that “the ministry will be constituted by those sufficiently trained in the art, philosophy and theology of the laying on of hands to the vertebrae” and that “the laity . . . shall be composed of those seeking spiritual and physical health combined by unequivocal adherence to the principles of the Congregation and the laying on of hands on their vertebrae.” They further state that the use of medication—whether by ingestion, injection, application, or inhalation—is a sacrilege.

In September 2000, the Syracuse Herald American reported that the mother of 5-year-old Victoria Turner was suing the local school district for denying her daughter’s entrance into kindergarten. The lawsuit claimed that the district was violating the child’s constitutional right to religious freedom.”

It goes on from there but that’s as much information as I needed. I’m so tired of this bullshit.

Just for the record, though, I have no problem with him leaving because of principles that I think are silly. He’s absolutely allowed to vote with his feet. Everybody is. I’m just tired of this being a discussion point. I’m tired of people who want to be around vaccinated people not being allowed to have that because some people want to exercise their “freedom“ to not be vaccinated. I’m frustrated that we as a society can’t just say that vaccinations are a public good and if you don’t want to vaccinate your kids, then don’t bring your kids around other people. I also think the idea of a religion about divinely ordained chiropractors is completely and utterly crazy.  i’m too much of a coward to say out loud that not wanting to vaccinate your children against childhood diseases should count as child endangerment, but I am definitely thinking it.

Happy November 1st 2023! 

It's been 30 days since my last blog post and we have updates. Before we get to those updates- How are y’all? Y’all doing alright? Did you have a good Halloween? I actually went trick or treating twice this year! Hopefully you got to dress up and be a kid again for a little while, or walk around with your nieces or nephews. It's the time spent that actually counts. First snow of the year, on Halloween, in the streets of Columbus, in the land of Hocus Pocus it started to feel like a scene out of a movie. Streets were lined with trees of red, yellow, and orange leaves. Snow falling, hot chocolate steaming off the disposable coffee cups, costumes of t-rex and Garfield running through the streets. It was bliss for a few snowflake moments. Life is still really good. I'm happy. 

So, let's get to the updates. 

Passed the MBLEx(Massage and Bodywork Licensure Examination)

Quit the Chiropractor Office for Full Time at Hand and Stone

Went to a Motionless In White Concert with my man - super dope!

Trick or Treated with my family for the first time since I was a child- the dopest!

Went to Circleville Pumpkin Show- Big pumpkins and hella pumpkin food!

Went to the Renaissance Festival - Where has that been all my life? - The best!

Met the boyfriend's father- he's cool as a cucumber, and we watched EDM videos together on Youtube! He's a big softy. I totally see where my man gets his empathetic nature. 

Whew! October was loaded! Super excited for November! 

November is going to be a special month for me this year. It's the first year I've spent Thanksgiving with my family in a very long time. Shoot, typically, it's the Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade,  the WestMinster Dog Show , and Cracker Barrel delivery solo with Chunk and Chee. This year…I get everything. I get my sisters, niece and nephews, sister in law, brother in law, family friends, and my boyfriend all under one roof.  Sharing a meal together, going around the table telling each other what you're thankful for- Yeah, this year…it's gonna be incredible. 

It's crazy to think how fast this year is wrapping up. Makes you really reflect on what you've accomplished, and what you have yet to accomplish. Take stock today. Figure out where you are with those goals we established a few months ago. How do you close out today- this week, this month, this year so that it's a success? Just because it's the end of the year…we ain't done yet. Keep moving on your diets(which by now are lifestyle habits), your financial goals, your relationship goals, your professional goals…all of them…you're not done yet! 

We have risen like phoenixs this year. We have recreated who we are. We have clawed our way out of the pit. We have transformed. 

We have bloomed. 

I love you guys! Here's to the next 30 days! Kill it out there!

"Beauty in the red stone and the blue waters, the light guides the way." - Thankyou Sheboygan, Wisconsin. *Victoria Bloom*

Rumpleteazer is a licensed chiropractor and practices on Aqua (me), when she’s not feeling up to being a functioning adult

And as for Victoria, well being a cryptid horror cat has downsides, and everyone in the monochromatic family (even second cousin Aqua who was taken in as a baby when her parents died) has cryptid powers, so she empathises

For my selfshippers with Chronic Pain!

Your F/O(s) don't care that sometimes you can't do things you were planning on. They only care about your comfort and safety. If all you can/want to do is lie on the couch and watch movies, then they'll lie with you.

They understand how hard it is and how hard you're trying every day (even when you don't think you're trying that hard at all) and they're so damn proud of you!

"Chiropractor Probe Is Halted Again,” The Province (Vancouver). January 5, 1932. Page 2. ---- Deadlock Reached as Opinions on Admissibility of Evidence Conflicts. ---- VICTORIA. Jan. 5. - For the third time, the cabinet today heard arguments between British Columbia medical men and chiropractors and realised that the enquiry into their dispute has reached a complete dead-lock. Some official action In the form of a change in Mr. Justice Murphy's chiropractic commission must be made if his Investigation is to proceed. 

At this mornings hearing, medical men, through their counsel, H. B. Robertson, K. C., reiterated their demand, voiced twice before, that the Murphy commission be opened wide to allow the examination of chiropractors on medical science. 

H. D. Twlgg. M.L.A. of Victoria, who said he appeared on behalf of many members of the British Columbia public, anxious to secure chiropractic treatment, without interference, opposed Mr. Robertson's suggestion, pointing out. as he has done before, that chiropractors made no pretensions to many branches of medical knowledge and effected healing by non-medical means. JUDGE CAN NOT BE PROCEED As a result of a long argument the cabinet learned that Mr. Justice Murphy found himself unable to proceed with his enquiry because, legally speaking, there are no chiropractors in British Columbia whom he can examine. This dilemma developed when Mr. Robertson argued that a qualified chiropractor under the existing law must have been trained for three calendar years, whereas the chiropractors argue that the law means three school years. None of them has trained for three calendar years.
