This was our 2^nd year providing both registered massage therapy (RMT) and chiropractic services at this latin dance congress in Toronto.  We had dancers who travelled from across Canada and the USA. The days were filled with dance workshops for salsa, bachata, kizomba and semba, and the nights were mixed with nightly performances and social dancing till 4am!  Both our RMT, Michelle, and our chiropractor, Dr. Lopes, were kept busy treating dancers and professional performers for all their aches and pains as they danced throughout the weekend.

Continuing on with a busy summer visiting various Running Rooms in Toronto.  Tonight Dr. Lopes got to visit the York Mills Running Room to do an informational talk, run and stretch session to their 10km clinic.  It was a great summer night out with a very enthusiastic group!

 

Thank goodness for freezies!  Dr. Lopes got treated to some freezies after joining the Yonge St Running Room Half Marathon clinic on their training room.  She was able to share some helpful information on do’s and don’ts when it comes to injury prevention.

 

For the 5^th year in a row, Dr. Lopes volunteered as a Sports Chiropractor & Sports First Responder at the 2016 Toronto Triathlon Festival.  She provided care to both sprint and Olympic distance triathletes on site.

Dr. Lopes finished off her 5^th level of classes in American Sign Language (ASL) at the Bob Rumball Foundation of the Deaf.  It was an exciting feeling being able to actually be able to tell a story  in ASL!
