🧠 Weekend well spent!

I had the privilege of attending World of Hurt: A Guide to Classifying Pain—a deep dive into pain science, clinical reasoning, and client care.

Huge thanks to the brilliant instructors Annie and Melissa and to Dr. Kyle at for hosting such a thoughtful, well-run course. The learning and networking were top-notch!

Here are a few gems that stuck with me:

✅ Pain is multifactorial—not just biomechanical
🗣️ Language matters: how we talk about pain shapes recovery
💪 Empowerment is key to healing

Feeling inspired and ready to bring these insights into practice—especially for active agers and those navigating complex pain stories.

🦶 Your feet tell a story—and it’s time we listened!

Just completed Optimizing Foot and Ankle Function: The Foot Core course by two knowledgeable Physiotherapists at Active Initiatives, diving deep into how our feet influence everything above them: balance, mobility, posture, and injury risk.

As a Kinesiologist working with adults 45+, I’m always expanding my knowledge to serve my clients better. This training reinforced a powerful truth:

👉 Our feet are our foundation.

What they’re doing affects your knees, hips, spine—even your confidence.
The best part? You don’t need fancy equipment or intense workouts. Simple, targeted foot and ankle exercises can:

✅ Prevent falls
✅ Improve balance and mobility
✅ Reduce overuse injuries
✅ Help you move with ease and confidence

If you’re ready to strengthen your foundation and move better from the ground up, let’s connect. Visit www.fittofunction.ca to Book A Discovery Call today.

🍁 Posture That Powers You

Fall is the season to reset—and posture is a great place to start. Whether you're walking, lifting, or lounging, how you hold yourself affects how you feel.

✅ Ease neck & back pain
✅ Boost confidence & breathing
✅ Move better, age stronger

Most of our day happens in front of us—hello, slouching! But with practice, posture habits can change. Try this:

🔹 Visualize a string lifting your head
🔹 Add movement breaks to your day
🔹 Strengthen & stretch postural muscles
🔹 Adjust your car seat & desk setup

At Fit to Function Kinesiology, we help adults 45+ stay strong, mobile, and independent—at home, in the pool, or in your community.
Let’s make fall your season of strength.

Happy Canada Day! 🍁

As a Kinesiologist, I’m grateful every day to be part of a country that values movement, wellness, and connection. Today, I’m celebrating YOU—my community—who show up, stretch out, and stay strong no matter the season.

Let’s keep moving forward—whether it’s a walk with family, a bike ride by the lake, or simply taking a deep breath and being grateful for our freedom to live well. Here's to a country that’s strong, resilient, and always reaching higher—just like the people who call it home.

Here's to red and white pride, maple syrup mornings, and the unwavering spirit of the True North—strong and free! ❤️
