These days the mobility market is full of possibilities. Rather than being confined to the inside of your home or relying on friends and family to take you out, consider the freedom of a mobility scooter. Battery powered scooters have come a long way and are now more affordable than ever. They provide the freedom to get around, they conserve physical energy, and they also provide you access to places you may not have previously been able to go. Along with the freedom, mobility scooters offer an element of safety.

Homeopathy for Dental Concerns
The causes of cavities include infection, poor mineral absorption and imbalances, acidity in the mouth, and an unbalanced flora in the mouth and digestive tract. While it’s important to go to the dentist for regular cleanings, grinding out a cavity and filling it will not uproot the cause of the cavity in the first place. There’s no better way to bring the body back to homeostasis than with homeopathic remedies to correct the imbalances causing the cavity in the first place.

Time for a Pedicure!
Keeping your feet in tip-top shape is important, not just so they look good, but also to keep them healthy. Pedicures are a luxurious, relaxing experience, but they provide many other benefits too: 1) Helping retain the moisture in your skin to prevent cracking, blisters, and other problems. 2) Reducing the risk of infection and ingrown nails by cleaning and cutting nails. 3) Removing dead skin cells by exfoliating to help prevent bunions or corns. 4) Promoting blood circulation and relieving tension in the calves and feet through massage. If you’re having a spa day, don’t forget about your feet!

Tetra Society of NA – Regina Chapter
Tetra recruits volunteers who work with clients to design and build assistive devices that are custom-made for the individual – these are devices that are either not available commercially or cost-prohibitive.

- Communication
- Eating and drinking
- Completing household chores and personal care
- Mobility
