A friend of Motus just made us aware of Vancouver Island Supports Ukraine - a group of local volunteers who collect funds and deliver, in person, educational supplies, medical supplies, and firefighting equipment to the people of Ukraine.

This extraordinary group (you might recognize a few faces or names) continues to do great work to support those affected by the ongoing war. For more information about who they are and what they do, watch some of the videos on their website.

Time for another episode of 'Find your physio'!

Wes is in there somewhere, looking great in his Barbell Physio gear. All you UBC physio-types from his cohort might recognize a few other faces as well.

First one to find him wins a high-five - come on by the clinic to collect!

CrossFit gets a bit of a bad rap sometimes. In reality, all hard exercise carries with it some degree of risk - but can also have great reward. (For those who aren't aware, CrossFit is a branded fitness regimen that involves constantly varied movements performed at high intensity.)

This recent study had some very important findings:

- CrossFitters reported both fewer episodes of low back pain and lower pain intensity than their sedentary peers (41% vs. 69%).

- Athletes with a history of back pain tended to improve after starting CrossFit, with no evidence that the sport worsened their condition.

We talk all day long about preparing your body for the loads you're going to place on it. There are lots of great ways to do this, and sometimes, hard exercise is one of them.

This post isn't necessarily pro-Crossfit, or any other brand of exercise. We really just want to support the idea that in many cases, with proper guidance, your body will rise to the challenges it faces.

You can do it. We're here to help you.

Ok, we admit: A whole bunch of us at Motus have recently jumped onto the Toronto Blue Jays bandwagon.

Wes and his family though, have been on board all year. Baseball is huge in their house - so guess where they are today!

Go Jays!!

Today, on National Truth and Reconciliation Day, we take pause to remember the children who never returned home, and honour the strength and resilience of those who did.

We use today to listen, to learn, and to reflect.

We're happy to let you all know that we've added a new physio to the team!

Everyone, meet Brandon Craipley. Brandon comes to us from Ontario, and is a runner, dog lover (no, the dog will not be coming to work with him...), and all around good guy.

He starts with us on the week of October 6th. If you'd like to meet him, call quickly - we've got a feeling his schedule won't be clear for long!

in our latest episode of 'Where is your physio?', Jordan heads to the US for a pair of games with the Rugby Canada men's national team. After recently qualifying for the Rugby World Cup , they take on Tonga in Salt Lake City, UT this Saturday.

For those who haven't been keeping up, the women's side demolished Australia in the quarters and is into the semifinals of their Rugby World Cup! Up next, New Zealand on Friday!

Best staff party ever?

We're not sure about that (we've had some bangers), but it sure was a great night! Thanks RIFFLANDIA FESTIVAL for hosting, and a massive, first-rate, premium thank you to all our staff & associates for being such a great crew to hang out with!

Also a great way for all of us to get to know our newest physio, but we'll tell you more about that soon...

2025 summer party, in the books. Fall, you may proceed.

We're often asked a very thought-provoking question: Why do so many different kinds of treatment seem to work for pain?

It's a long and complicated answer, but the short version is that generally, our bodies know how to heal themselves. Our job as therapists is to facilitate that - manual therapy, dry needling, and education are all simply some of the tools we use.

You can add one more thing to that list - breathing! A research review done in 2024 shows that breathing exercises significantly reduced pain intensity and improved physical disability in people with low back pain. The most effective protocols involved breathing resistance exercises performed for 30 to 50 minutes, 3 to 5 times per week, for more than 4 weeks. That's quite a lot, but the take home message is important: we all have the tools to help ourselves when we're hurting!
