“Sit up straight!” — how many times have we said that to our kids? 😅
Here’s the truth: posture isn’t about being perfect. It’s about movement.
Kids need variety — climbing, crawling, twisting, hanging, jumping. The more shapes they make, the healthier their muscles and joints.
We’ve put together a simple blog for parents on what actually matters (and what doesn’t) when it comes to posture.
💉 Should you get a cortisone injection for your shoulder?
It’s a question I get asked every single week.
The short answer? It depends.
Cortisone can be a game changer for frozen shoulder — but it’s not always the magic fix people hope for when it comes to bursitis or rotator cuff pain.
In this week’s video, I break down:
👉 When cortisone actually helps
👉 The mistakes people make after the injection
👉 How to make sure it’s part of a long-term fix — not just a short-term relief
If your shoulder’s been giving you grief, this video will help you understand what to do next.
Should you get a cortisone injection for your shoulder pain? 💉
We get this question all the time — and for good reason.
Cortisone can be super effective… but only if it’s used at the right time and for the right condition.
✅ Frozen shoulder? It can be a game changer.
⚠️ Bursitis or rotator cuff pain? It might help short term — but the real fix comes from rehab.
In this week’s blog, I unpack exactly when cortisone works, when it doesn’t, and how to make sure it actually helps you move better (not just feel better for a week).
We’re fired up for what’s ahead and seriously grateful to everyone who backed us in 2025. Same mission as always — keep you moving, not stuck on the sidelines.
2026 is shaping up to be a big one…
Let’s just say our physio family is growing and we’ll soon be helping even more people in a new part of the valley 👀
Hope the hangover isn’t too bad 😅
Get outside, enjoy the outdoors, and we’ll see you soon.

🎄 Staff Christmas Party 2025 — Axe Throwing Edition! 🎯🪓
Nothing brings a physio team together like… throwing sharp objects at a wall?
We kicked off our Christmas celebrations with an afternoon of axe throwing, plenty of banter, and just enough competitive spirit to make things interesting — followed by dinner at Foghorn to refuel after all that “athletic performance.” 😅
🔥 Highlight of the day:
Maddy (Matt Koch’s partner) officially taking out Most Improved, then somehow — through a deadly combo of technique, determination, and a LARGE dose of luck — knocking out the favourites and claiming 1st place!
A true Christmas miracle. ✨
The rest of us? We had a blast, shared plenty of laughs, and walked away with all fingers and toes still attached, which honestly feels like the biggest win of the night.
Big thanks to the whole crew for another amazing year. ❤️💪
Now… back to helping our patients throw things less dangerously.
