Clinic Update – Covid-19

Palermo Physiotherapy and Wellness Update (Monday March 16, 2020):

To our Valued Patients and Clients:

In light of the continued and progressing developments related to COVID-19, we have made the decision to close Palermo Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre beginning now and until April 1, 2020 for all services. We feel that it is the best interest of our patients and team members to temporarily suspend in-person services. 

We are hoping to re-open April 1, 2020 and see our patients actively in person. We understand that this situation is fluid and we will be updating as time goes on as we know more about how the situation is progressing.

We will be trying to contact our active Physiotherapy patients over the next couple of days to ensure that you are comfortable with your home programs and to possibly connect over technology to progress or modify you home programs as needed. 

This has been difficult for us because we love what we do and enjoy seeing our patients progress and reach their goals.   

We hope you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy during these uncertain times. Know that when this storm calms, the team at Palermo Physiotherapy and Wellness will again open our doors and be ready to continue to serve all of your families Physio, Massage, Yoga Therapy and Foot Care needs. 

Connect with us on facebook, twitter, instagram or our website www.palermophysio.com for updates.

Stay tuned for occasional posts from us regarding home activities for all ages. 

Sincerely, 

The Team at Palermo Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre

Co-Op Students

You may have noticed that we have a few new faces in the clinic!

The team at Oakville’s Palermo Physio and Wellness has taken on some co-op students this term. We have a couple high school students and a university kinesiology student putting in some learning hours around the clinic.

As Physiotherapists, Massage Therapists, Chiropodists and Yoga Therapists, we have all volunteered or done placements in clinics and other settings. These opportunities helped us develop into well rounded practitioners.

Many of the students who step through our door have an interest in health care in some facet. Through their time with us we hope to help them navigate toward an area of interest (even if it doesn’t end up being on of our professions).

We hope to teach them some critical thinking skills that will be of benefit to them in the health care field. When the students have an opportunity to interact with patients in the clinic it provides them with a valuable opportunity to develop their interpersonal skills.

Thank you all for being wonderful and welcoming to these students whether it is simply saying hello or letting them give you a heat pack!

Thanksgiving 2019 – Clinic Hours

The team at Oakville’s Palermo Physio and Wellness would like to wish all of our patients and their loved ones a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving weekend.

We hope that along with some great food you also enjoy some active time with your loved ones. Take a walk or a hike and enjoy some of the fall foliage.

For those of you who are signed up for our Beta program of online appointment booking for Physiotherapy and Massage Therapy Treatment please feel free to schedule the upcoming weeks as needed. Please remember that if you need to cancel an appointment you are unable to do so online and that we require 24 hours prior notice. This is because we set aside your appointment time just for you! When you are booked in for a certain Tim for Massage, Physio or Chiropody, no one else is able to book in that time. When you cancel last minute, it is a possibility that someone else would have been able to book in earlier had that spot been available. This better helps us service our patients and better allows our practitioners to prepare their day.

Labour Day – 2019 What to Do?

It’s hard to believe that Labour Day Long weekend is upon us! The days are already getting a little shorter and the evenings a little cooler. Pumpkin spice has infiltrated our favourite coffee shops.

Here are some ideas to take advantage of the last weekend of the summer:

Watch an Outdoor Movie

Outdoor movies play every Thursday night of the summer in Downtown Oakville. The movies start at 9pm. Fridays feature live music instead of a movie if that is more your style.

Go to the CNE

As the mark of the end of summer, The Ex is currently on in Toronto. Maybe make a day of going downtown and enjoying the rides and all the crazy food!

Go to Ribfest

Ribfest in Burlington is always the last weekend of the summer and it’s the biggest one in Canada. Even if ribs aren’t really your thing, the festival takes place right on the water front so you can take a walk by the pier or visit one of the many ice cream shops along Lakeshore.

Stay Local

Go for a walk, a hike. Maybe have an end-of-summer BBQ celebration with some friends. Swim while its still warm enough to be in the water. Read a good book outside. These are just a few small things you can do that require very little planning and allow you to enjoy the last bit of warm weather for the year.

Whatever your plans for the long weekend, enjoy the company of your family and friends, take care of yourself and one another and be safe!

Meet Oakville Physio Nada Masoud – Team Tuesday

Why did you decide to become a Physiotherapist?

Going through high school, I always knew I wanted to pursue a career in sciences. Though I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted when I first started university, I researched different careers in the health care field. Physiotherapy appealed to me because of the strong rapports between practitioners and patients and being able to follow someone through progress of their treatment.

Why are you passionate about the Physiotherapy Professions?

I love helping people achieve their goals whether its returning to work or returning to an activity they enjoy. Working with people on a consistent basis allows us to establish rapport with our patients which is so fulfilling, knowing you are making an impact on somebody’s quality of life.

What do you like most about working at Oakville’s Palermo Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre?

I love my coworkers! The team at Palermo Physiotherapy is not only fun to be around but they’re all amazing resources for collaboration. Its great to work at a place where everyone is dedicated to delivering quality patient care and open to bouncing ideas off each other. I love being able to ask my colleagues their opinions and experiences with different injuries and situations. I’ve learned so much from them in the short time I’ve been here already and really appreciate the opportunity to grow as a health care provider. 

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

In my free time I enjoy being a newcomer to yoga practice and reading. I also love spending the weekends with my cousins and walking with my puppy.

Do you have a favourite sport or activity?

My go-to sport to watch is basketball though I’ll watch almost anything. I joke that I am too uncoordinated to participate in sports so instead I enjoy cheering on people from the sidelines.

What’s the most recent book you’ve read / movie you’ve watched?

I’ve been very into poetry lately. I’m currently reading “The Sun and Her Flowers” by Rupi Kaur; “Love Her Wild” by Atticus is on its way as I type! I recently watched Bohemian Rhapsody. Even though I’m not a huge Queen fan, I really enjoyed the story and the music!
