๐๏ธโโ๏ธ Shoutout to Baneesha!
Huge shoutout to Baneesha, one of our amazing physiotherapists at our Pacific Station (Nanaimo) location, for completing the Barbell Rehab Course this weekend in Victoria (October, 2025)! ๐ฅ
This course bridges the gap between rehab and strength training โ teaching clinicians how to safely load clients back to squats, deadlifts, and presses while addressing pain, mobility, and confidence barriers along the way. ๐ช
Itโs been a massive first year of clinical growth for her, and she continues to raise the bar โ always learning, always evolving, and never satisfied when it comes to becoming the best clinician she can be. ๐
Why it matters:
Progressive resistance training improves pain and physical function in over 80% of people with chronic musculoskeletal conditions (Wirth et al., Sports Medicine, 2022).
Lifting weights is one of the most effective ways to preserve bone density, lean muscle, and metabolic health as we age (Westcott, Curr Sports Med Rep, 2012).
Weโre proud of your drive, curiosity, and commitment, Baneesha โ your patients (and teammates) are lucky to have you. ๐
