25.01.2022 COVID UPDATE: SATURDAY 21/11/20 Dear BVH Friends, Oh how quickly things can change. Of the many things this situation has taught us, it's the need to be adaptable, implement daily changes of plans and to sometimes just sit back and let things unfold how they were always going to and always, always try to keep your sense of humour. ... Under the initial direction of the government and our associations we closed our practice and rescheduled all patients. I must say a huge thank you to our admin who dedicated countless hours achieving this task to try and accommodate all patient requests. Phew... what a ride that was. Then, along came Friday morning, and like many of you, we were not exactly sure what to think. If we're truly honest, our brains hurt and just like the rest of Adelaide we were worn down trying to wrap our heads around what was happening next. In light of the lifting of restrictions, we have decided that it’s time to practice what we regularly preach, and for each of us here at BVH to have a bit of breathing space. Just like earlier in the year when we were all on this merry-go-round, we have decided to share the load in this coming week back in practice. As such this is how the week beginning Monday 23rd November will look for BVH. As from Monday 30th November all practitioners will return to their regular days and hours. PRACTITIONER AVAILABILITY - To make an appointment with any of our practitioners please book online via our website www.blackwoodvillagehealth.com.au MICHAEL DAVIS (CHIROPRACTOR) - Monday 23rd November Dr Mike has now opened up appointments for Monday 23rd Nov (morning only) for anyone who wishes to bring their existing appointment forward or book a new appointment. - Thursday 26th November - 8:30 am 6:30pm - Friday 27th November 8:30 am 3.00pm WENDY TURNER (REMEDIAL MASSAGE THERAPIST) - Thursday 26th November 9am 6pm CASPIAN HELM (REMEDIAL MASSAGE THERAPIST) - Wednesday 25th November 9 am 5pm DAVID SCHIEVENIN (ACUPUNCTURIST) - Returning Tuesday 1st December 9 am 6pm We truly appreciate your understanding as we worked our way over this latest COVID speed hump. Enjoy this video for a bit of light hearted look at what we are all experiencing right now. We look forward to seeing you all again soon. Yours in good health Dr Mike Davis Chiropractor & Principal #bvh #chiropractorblackwood #chiro #chiropractor #acupuncture #massage #covid_19

21.01.2022 Maybe its time to start writing your own headlines? #bvh #chiropractorblackwood #chiro #acupuncture #massage #writeyourownheadline Thank you Beverly Geer for your inspiring reminder.

17.01.2022 You lot are simply AWESOME! When life was a bit of a roller coaster for many when COVID restrictions first hit Adelaide, so many of you stepped up and through your kindness and generosity you helped feed many underprivileged South Aussie school kids. Because thats what kindness is. Its not doing something for someone else because they cant, but because you can. Andrew Iskander ... #kindness #thankyou #spreadkindness #showkindness #bvh #chiropractorblackwood #chiro #acupuncture #massage

16.01.2022 Best fitness goal EVER!

15.01.2022 Have you ever made your own bone broth? Well bet your grandma did. Processed stocks simply dont have the same nourishment that a homemade bone broth offers. It contains gelatin which assists in repairing our gut wall, collagen to promote joint function & repair plus the amino acid glycine to help the liver break down toxins. The use of bone broth is only limited by your imagination. Beyond soups, it can be used in casseroles, risotto, stir fry & even curries.

15.01.2022 Where do you choose to place your focus? With the latest news for South Australia today, we know there are many of you feeling all kinds of emotions right now. As humans, our brains are wired to pay attention to a perceived threat. However, mindfulness (or paying attention on purpose) helps us to discover all the wonderful things we can appreciate.

15.01.2022 Dr Mike is super passionate about his work but even more than that, he says the best job in the world is being a Dad! Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there!

15.01.2022 Our suggestion? Always use your own ruler

15.01.2022 Have you asked anyone recently how they are? And really listened to their answer? Every day is a good day to ask this question, but today is R U OK? Day, so why not make it a priority? Many people suffer in silence with depression, and you just never know how deep this goes. Be a friend to someone today and offer an ear and a shoulder. You could make a huge difference to someones life. #ruok #ruokday #mentalhealth #bvh #chiropractorblackwood #chiro #acupuncture #massage

10.01.2022 We are thrilled to announce that last year we were successful in being awarded a community grant towards establishing a beautiful community verge garden. With spring upon us, we thought it would be the perfect time for us to get this all set up, and to invite anyone from the community who would like to assist us. This community garden, focused on growing produce, will be for everyone to enjoy. Those visiting the clinic, those that live on the street, and those passing by. Thi...s garden is about all of us and we cant wait to share it with you. Wed like to take this opportunity to thank the City of Mitcham for their contribution. On SATURDAY 19th SEPTEMBER, starting at 10:30am, we will be rolling up our sleeves and putting on the gardening gloves, as work commences on establishing two raised garden beds and planting a variety of beautiful plants Wed love for anyone who is interested in being involved to send us PM or email us at [email protected]. Bring your kids too! We will schedule our helpers throughout the morning, to ensure that we maintain COVID safe practices, and to exercise social distancing requirements, but that wont take away any of the fun as there is plenty to do. We look forward to seeing you there.

10.01.2022 BVH Team Member Appreciation - Big thanks to our admin Rachel and Kylie! We're not sure that these two receive enough credit for the great work they do supporting our practitioners and patients. They are the friendly voices on the phone, the smiling faces when you attend our clinic and without them, our clinic wouldn't tick along like clockwork as it does, week in week out. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts

10.01.2022 Does Friday night dinner at the end of a busy week do your head in too? Tonights inspiration - mushroom, tomato & kale omelette. Ready in a just a matter of minutes.

09.01.2022 Its no secret that all of us at BVH love food. Good wholesome, nutrient dense food. The odd little treat is certainly not off the cards either Our latest little love is the humble organic dried apricot. We agree theyre not that pretty, kinda ugly in fact, but so delicious! Sulphur dioxide is what gives apricots dried by traditional methods their lovely bright orange colour. Interestingly though, the World Health Organisation recommends an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of ...sulphate preservative of 0.7mg per kg of body weight. Lets put that into perspective. When a single non organic dried apricot typically contains 16mg of sulphate the limit for an average 2 year old would be HALF a dried apricot Food for thought?

09.01.2022 Our prescription for healthy ageing? We suggest you watch this EVERY DAY as a reminder to keep those bodies moving. So much love for these two in a fabulous celebration of life and energy!

09.01.2022 Looking to mix things up in the kitchen? Why not try being meat-free for a month?

If a meat-free month is a bit much, try adding meat-free Mondays to your week instead! Whos in? #chiro #chiropractic #meatfreemonth

03.01.2022 At BVH its never about a quick 10 minute appointment. We never have and never will adopt a production line approach to your health. Its not just a bunch of adjustments, sticking some needles in you or rubbing out those tired sore muscles. Our appointments always include plenty of time for our practitioners to discuss with you the possible causes of your issue. It just maybe as simple as your sleeping position, new shoes or orthotics, posture, workstation set up, a new denta...l appliance, a sporting activity, lifestyle stress, poor hydration or diet causing you some grief. We will address anything and everything that could be contributing to your problem. As part of all our treatments, we look to assist you in developing an understanding of your own body to help you self manage your issue and make any necessary lifestyle changes for the best possible health outcomes. Whats more, were fortunate to have several allied health practitioners with different treatment modalities all under one roof. We know the questions to ask, but more importantly were all ears and we know how to listen. #preventionisbetterthancure #bvh #chiropractorblackwood #chiro #acupuncture #massage
