In an overabundance of caution we have made the difficult decision to close the clinic effective March 17th for one week.  We will continue to monitor and assess the situation as it unfolds and a decision regarding the week of March 23rd will me made this weekend.

We sincerely apologize foe the inconvenience and will be in touch with everyone regarding the rescheduling of appointments.

We will be continually checking our voice mail and email through the week and can be reached at 905-634-8439 and healthview@cogeco.net.  Additionally you can check our websites for up to date information.

Once again we apologize for the inconvenience at this time and appreciate your understanding.

Yours in good health,

Dr. Rob, Natalie and Tyler.

The team at HealthView takes your health very seriously.  As always we are keeping our clinic and our hands clean but now we are being extra cautious.  Beds, tables, counters and door knobs are being disinfected between all visitors to HealthView.   As well we have hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes available in all rooms.

Additionally,  we require all patients who have traveled in the last 14 days or are experiencing symptoms to reschedule their appointments an observe the recommended 14 day self-isolation protocol.

We understand that this can be a very stressful time for you and are here to help answer your questions about this your other health concerns.

COVID-19 symptoms may be very mild or more serious, such as fever, cough and difficulty breathing.  Symptoms may take up to 14 days to appear after exposure to the virus.

The virus is most commonly spread from an infected person through:

• respiratory droplets when you cough or sneeze
• close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands
• touching something with the virus on it, then touching your eyes, nose or mouth before washing your hands.

In the meantime, here’s how you can help stay healthy and stop the spread of illness:

• Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
• Cough or sneeze into a tissue or if one is not available into your sleeve.
• Consider a wave or an elbow bump in place of a handshake, hug or kiss.
• Reduce your exposure to crowded places
• Encourage those you know are sick to stay home until they no longer have symptoms
• If you become ill, stay home until you are no longer showing symptoms.

We thank everyone for their co-operation and wish everyone good health!

Take a break from the old standard, and let HealthView offer a few ways to pamper yourself and your sweetie this Valentine’s Day with gifts that won’t leave you with regret or wilting flowers a week later.

1. Massage Therapy Gift Certificate

If you or your partner are active – you know how tight and tense your muscles can get.  Sometimes a massage is just the perfect solution to ease a tired body and mind.  Not only is it a great way to relax, but it could increase his/her performance in the gym.  If you aren’t as active as you like, a massage by an RMT will help to loosen those muscles and make you feel a thousand times better!   A HealthView gift certificate is the perfect solution for it!  Our Registered Massage Therapists will find the best way to ease those aching muscles!  Why not consider a couples massage?  You could BOTH walk out feeling relaxed and energized.  Call us at 905-634-VIEW to find out how you can get one!

2. Fitness Tracker

Now, this is only meant with the best intentions!  For a lot of people, fitness trackers are a good way to monitor your journey and help you understand just how active you are.  They don’t have to be expensive – and can assist you in keeping “track” of your steps, calories burned and even the amount of restful sleep you are getting.

3. A Romantic (But Healthy) Dinner

Consider something as simple as a nice meal – prepared at home.  Perhaps something a little more special than the usual fare though.  Some nutritionists suggest you go “lean & green” – meaning a meal consisting of a lean protein like salmon or flank steak, coupled with some broccoli, green beans or cauliflower.

4. Couples Yoga Class

The couple that stretches together – stays together?  Studies show that yoga can increase your flexibility, strength and cardiovascular function.  It can also improve your mood – which is NEVER a bad thing, especially when the February blues start to set in.

5. Go Ice Skating

Sure it can be cold outside, but there is no better time to find a local skating rink and take part in a great low impact workout together!  Make sure you stretch beforehand, and dress according to the conditions – but its a great opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and each others company.  And afterwards – make sure you grab some hot chocolate with a few extra marshmallows!
