🙏🏽
- I recently was awarded this medal of distinction from the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (). The CPA recognized the innovators, game changers and titans who’ve moved the PT world in the last 100 years. I am extremely grateful and humbled to be part of this group of PTs.
When I treated my first patient in 1999, I don’t think I would have ever envisioned writing this post almost 20 years later. We all get chance in life to use our talents and inner superpowers to influence change and create true impact. So I’m truly thankful to the universe, to my parents, to my mentors, to my misfortunes for setting me up to pay it forward.
Paying it forward for me has always been about creating a movement and leaving a legacy. This award for me is about celebrating the PT community and how we as a profession pivoted over the last year to not survive but thrive. Together we have transformed pain into power.
Celebrating our continued impact in our local communities as transformational leaders is the essence of this award. I have had the extreme good fortune to take a leadership position (PPD ) during this pandemic. I’ve turned my focus to help lead a nation thru this crisis. But truly speaking i have played a small but humble part. The true success of all of what you see was the nation of PTs coming together. I’m extremely proud of our Canadian PT Family and our triumphs. May this award be shared amongst all of you. 🙏🏽
Ps - Congrats to my fellow PT Titans who made it to this list of 100 who moved 100 years of Physiotherapy. Swipe left to see these amazing souls

Yes, this Ninja has your back and thankfully is both in-studio & in-person during this is current lockdown mode. I can't believe I posted the first of these Ninja posts over 40 weeks ago. 40 weeks later The Community, Governments recognize the value of physical capacity and movement as determinants of health.   I'm so thankful that in the Premier's most recent press address, he recognized "Physiotherapy" as an essential service in the overall wellbeing of Albertans.  I know we are drained from this pandemic - but we have been blessed with the time to overcome injuries, muscle imbalances, and to prepare for bigger and more badass goals that await us on the other side of this crisis. I'm truly looking forward to the next 40 weeks when we can say we did this _______ to transform you into your next best self. My question to you is what's your THIS? 🥊🥊 - ps I hope you will join me in supporting all the local businesses that have been affected by this pandemic -> support, buy and help enable our , ❤️--

I’m more than excited to welcome you back!! As I know many of you have been trying to navigate an impromptu home office, helping to be a home school teacher, dressing up like a surgeon to get groceries and trying find the one last Netflix episode you haven’t already watched. These have been challenging times. We all have had to pivot to keep our loved ones & families safe. I myself had to pivot my own delivery of care - TheCyberStudio - was created out of Corona. The mission of CyberStudio was to deliver futuristic health care delivered conveniently in peoples homes. It’s been an amazing success. Why ? Because You truly became the driver of your own health & your own comeback story.
May 4th launches the next chapter. As of this week we get to make that comeback story in studio. We’ve done the research, we have all the green lights from all the health care stakeholders to provide you pivotal therapy in person. Our commitment to you is to provide a sanctuary for your health care.
Both the CyberStudio and In Studio will meet you where it fits your situation. Book at yycrehab.ca or call 403-891-8084 for priority access - looking forward to crushing some rehab goals 🥊

Your success and purpose in life should be determined by the my number of people you’ve bettered and helped thru their crisis. That was and still is my favourite thing my parents taught me when I was a kid. Service to others is what fuels your higher purpose. Most of my clients know me as this crazy physio that treats patients at 5 am ! But what I have had the privilege to be part of us is helping our community of Physio’s get thru this crisis. I’m a truly grateful to be a leader of because it’s allowed me to be part of, inspire and create positive change for my fellow PTs coast to coast.

The path to creating this change thru this crisis hasn’t been easy but I know there are other rogue Physios out there like myself who have been working tirelessly to help the cause, serve our community so we can ultimately serve our community of patients. Thank you 🙏🏾 everyone for coming together thru crisis, putting in the hustle to create a PT MVMNT ! These are some of the Physios within my circle but there are so many more .pt .tom and of course the execs on the PPD (.horton .phyzio .patel.physio )
- 🙏thank you for what you have done for the community

Looking forward to helping my fellow PT brothers and sisters get thru this. If you are struggling to get thru this send me a DM - I’m always happy to help !🥊🥊

You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. -Mark Twain. I personally ❤️ this quote. One of the best rehab tips I can give to clients is to get focused! Focus on the few things that will bring your body back to inner balance. Technology has helped us get better access to information but has also created a lot of noise. So to cut thru the noise, to cut thru being chained to the therapy table,do the one exercise that moves the 10 things wrong with your body - not the 10 stretches fixed things one at time. This simplicity in thinking ironically is pretty complicated. Figuring out that one thing for you is the key to feeding your body the focus in needs to thrive! Keep crushing it

One of my key pillars in recovering from an injury is having the right mindset. And trust me I have had my share of injuries to know that when it happens all we want to do is get back to our normal self. So being injured is pretty humbling all of sudden normal movements suddenly become rejected by your body. It’s at that point we all panic, myself included - all we want to do is do that stretch, do the exercise, get our body needled or manipulated to get our bodies to what we expect them to do. And suddenly the struggle becomes even more real. We all compare our injured self with our pre-injured self. But when we do that one key thing changes - Frustration!!. The bigger the disconnect between those two “selves” the bigger our frustration becomes. So we spend our lives in Frustration mode and see life thru the lens of missed opportunity, saying things like” I wish I could “ or “I’m frustrated that I can’t do “. So there’s this disconnect between our expected self and current self. Personally going thru that struggle I found my way out of that disconnect by embracing acceptance. It is what it is - it took me a long time to embrace this. But moving out of frustration mode through accepting injured life - made it far easier to reflect and celebrate small wins. Celebrating small wins was and is my mental anecdote to championing thru injury. So when I switched my mindset to celebrating small wins I suddenly became more grateful. Grateful for the freedom of movement, grateful to lift without pain, grateful to have my body do what I wanted it to do. And living thru that lens of gratitude and celebrating small wins became the motivation, the momentum to overcome the road to recovery. Especially because that road is never smooth and full of pot holes and downturns. So bulletproofing my mind has been the key to getting thru the recovery road less travelled. So this week commit to living life in Gratitude Mode vs Expectation Mode. 👊🏽
