Shoulder aches at the end of the season?

As paddling, golf, and softball seasons wrap up, we often see a rise in shoulder injuries. The repetitive motions of swinging, throwing, and paddling can strain key structures in the shoulder, leading to:

Rotator cuff injuries – from repetitive overhead strokes and swings.

Labrum tears – common in throwing sports or heavy overhead movements.

Impingement and bursitis – often from muscle imbalance or poor movement mechanics.

At Bowen Island Integrated Health, our collaborative team is here to help:

Physiotherapy & Kinesiology: targeted exercise programs to rebuild strength and stability.

Chiropractic care: active release and myofascial therapy to restore proper movement.

Massage therapy & Acupuncture: to reduce pain, release tight muscles, and support recovery.

👉 Don’t let a nagging shoulder carry into winter. Now is the perfect time to rehab, reset, and prepare for next season stronger than before.

📅 Book your shoulder care today with our team on Bowen.

Headaches can show up in many ways—tension, migraines, cervicogenic (neck-related), or stress-driven—and they can quickly get in the way of daily life.
At Bowen Island Integrated Health, our team approach offers multiple ways to find relief:
Acupuncture supports circulation, calms the nervous system, and helps reduce headache frequency.
Massage therapy releases muscle tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw that often trigger headaches.
Chiropractic care restores mobility in the spine, improves posture, and uses hands-on techniques to reduce strain.
Together, these therapies don’t just target immediate pain—they help address the underlying causes so you can move toward fewer headaches and better overall wellness.
Book a session today and let’s create a care plan that works for you.

Summer Heat Doesn’t Replace a Warm-Up: Why You Still Need to Prep Your Body Properly

Summer on Bowen Island means more people are out moving—hiking, paddling, gardening, playing pickleball, or diving into weekend rec sports. And with the sun shining, it’s easy to assume your body is already “warmed up.” But here’s the thing: just because the weather is hot doesn’t mean your body is ready for action.

Warm Weather ≠ Warmed-Up Muscles
A hot day might raise your skin temperature and make you sweat faster, but it doesn’t prepare your joints, muscles, or nervous system for the demands of sport or activity.

A proper dynamic warm-up does more than just get you warm—it:

Increases circulation to target muscle groups
Primes the neuromuscular system
Improves mobility and joint range
Activates key stabilizing muscles
Builds coordination and control before complex or high-impact movement
Skipping this step is a recipe for preventable injuries like strains, sprains, or overuse flare-ups—especially in the shoulders, hips, knees, and low back.

Why It’s Even More Important in Summer
In warm weather, we’re often less aware of stiffness, but that doesn't mean our tissue is prepared for sudden impact, direction changes, or endurance. People tend to jump straight into high-output movement—like sprinting for a ball, lifting a kayak, or hammering out a trail run—without adequate prep.

That’s where dynamic movement prep makes all the difference.

What Does a Proper Summer Warm-Up Look Like?
At Bowen Island Integrated Health, we teach clients how to warm up effectively for their unique lifestyle—whether it’s sport, recreation, or just active living. A good warm-up doesn’t need to be long—it just needs to be purposeful.

A summer-specific warm-up might include:

Joint mobility (hip circles, thoracic rotations)
Muscle activation (glute bridges, scapular retractions)
Movement prep (bodyweight squats, walking lunges, arm swings)
Breathing work to reset the core and ribcage
We tailor warm-ups to your goals, injury history, and activity level, so you’re not just ready—you’re resilient.

Want Help Staying Active and Injury-Free This Summer?
Whether you’re training for an event, playing weekend tennis, or just chasing your kids around the beach, the team at Bowen Island Integrated Health can help you move smarter and avoid setbacks. From chiropractic and physio, to massage, kinesiology, acupuncture, and more—we’re here to keep you doing what you love.

Book a session today and get personalized guidance on how to stay strong, mobile, and injury-free this summer. Your body deserves more than just sunshine—it deserves preparation.
