🙏🤗👏 THANK YOU so much to all the practitioners that came out to our first Pediatrics and Family Care connections mixer last night!! It was incredible to get 25+ people representing 14 different professions together to discuss how we can make care better for families in Edmonton. So many great new friends and clinical networks to help make all our care better. Our Westside team were excited to welcome everyone and connect. Special thanks to for all the organizing.

Looking forward to the next one!!

❓Have you been told that you might be suffering from a tendinopathy (formally referred to as “Tendinitis”)?

In simple terms, tendinopathy refers to a tendon that is irritated, and in some cases, has sustained some damage. Many tendinopathies develop as a result of overuse. When we ask the tendon to perform a task/movement in a higher capacity than it currently has the strength for, a tendinopathy can develop.

The GREAT NEWS is that often, the gold standard treatment does require medication or fancy machines, but rather some simple exercises done consistently to help the tendon start to recover. Our Physiotherapists can accurately diagnosis the problem and provide you with a comprehensive exercise program to effectively treat the issue and reduce the symptoms!

Have questions about tendinopathies or tendinitis? Reach out anytime, or send us a private message!

🦶Toe walking - should you be concerned?

The short answer is: usually not, but it should be assessed.

Occasionally going up onto tippy toes when excited is normal, but walking on the balls of the feet more than 80% of the time is considered toe walking.

The reason it’s important to assess is that while the majority of toe walkers are idiopathic (unknown reason), toe walking is sometimes associated with neurological abnormalities. Our pediatric physio team can provide a Toe Walking Assessment that involves an hour long thorough screen, identification of problem areas and causes, fun play based exercise to help change the habit, and (if needed) referral on for further medical evaluation if we suspect any concerning underlying causes of the toe walking.

Plus, we always teach parents exercises and strategies to facilitate heel to toe gait to mitigate any long term issues with foot pain.

Reach out if you have questions about your child’s walking!
