Automobility was started in Regina in 1989 by Peter & Janis Hillcoff a Regina family that had spent many years working with people with disabilities. Peter was also one of the founders that created the Sarcan recycling program which provided new employment for people with disabilities, while helping our environment. The Hillcoffs, along with their daughters and grandchildren own and operate Automobility today. The staff have been with the company for many years and are a part of the Automobility family. We are the Canadian distributor for many great US & Canadian companies including Merits Health and Catnapper Lift Chairs and we buy and sell in volume so we can offer better products and prices to our customers!

Communication Rule
Many misunderstandings and conflicts arise because of poor communication. Here is something to remember. Communication is made up of 7% spoken words; 38% of voice and tone; and 53% body language. The Enneagram is a tool that helps you be present in the moment – speaking and listening with your quiet mind (words), open heart (tone) and grounded body. How calm and open you are, can be far more important than the actual words you speak. Remembering this will not only help you be better understood, but it will also help build your relationships with your family members and coworkers!
Avoid the Winter Blues
The Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines suggest adults should perform at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, as well as two sessions of muscle and bone strengthening activities, to achieve physical AND mental health benefits. With winter coming, and the challenges of leaving home, this can seem daunting! Your physiotherapist can tailor an exercise program designed specifically for you to do inside with minimal space (to help avoid the cold weather!), and with equipment everyone has around their home. At 30 minutes per day, the benefits of exercise are countless, while the side effects are minimal.
