🤍 Welcome back, Dana 🤍

Dana has been part of Advanced Health & Sports Clinic since day one in 2018, and we’re incredibly proud to welcome her back to practice following maternity leave.

Over the past year, Dana devoted herself fully to motherhood — while continuing to deepen her clinical expertise through advanced education, mentorship, and skill refinement. That commitment shows in the way she practices: thoughtful, precise, and always evolving.

She’s returning with a renewed focus on pelvic floor therapy, pregnancy, postpartum care, and cesarean recovery, and we couldn’t be more excited for our community to work with her again.



Welcome home, Dana 🫶🏻

A few honest truths about PT most people don’t hear:

1. Your pain didn’t come from “one wrong move.”
It usually builds up over time, and that means it can be built back down too.

2. Exercises aren’t meant to hurt you to help you.
They’re meant to teach your body how to move safely and confidently again.

3. Good rehab isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing the right things consistently, even when they feel simple.

4. Feeling sore doesn’t mean you’re doing damage.
It often means your body is adapting to movement it hasn’t trusted in a while.

5. Your physio isn’t trying to “fix” you.
We’re here to help you understand your body so you don’t feel afraid of it anymore.

Grateful for the chance to spend some time at Wellington Secondary’s annual Career Fair 🙌
So much great energy, curiosity, and thoughtful questions from the students — always inspiring to see the next generation exploring paths in health, movement, and performance.

Thanks for having me !👊

Thinking about a bike fitting? 🚴‍♂️ It’s more than just tweaking your seat height. A proper fit can make riding feel better, smoother, and more fun.

A good bike fit can help reduce pain and discomfort in your back, neck, knees, and even that saddle soreness we all know too well. It also helps prevent injuries that come from poor alignment or repetitive strain, especially when you’re putting in bigger miles or tougher rides.

When your bike matches your body, you get more out of every pedal stroke. That means better power output, smarter aerodynamics, and more efficient riding whether you’re out for a casual cruise or chasing a new personal best.

Tag a cycling buddy who needs this info, and follow us for more tips to keep your body moving well on and off the bike! 🚴‍♀️💪

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COREY! 🎉☀️

It was Corey’s birthday this week, and we’re celebrating not just another year — but the growth he’s shown as a clinician and as a teammate here at Pacific Station.

Over time, Corey has really found his stride: a thoughtful clinician, a dependable team player, and someone who shows up with consistency and great energy. His love for the outdoors, running, staying fit, and tackling big hikes mirrors the mindset he brings into the clinic every day. 🏃‍♂️🏔️

February sunshine or not — soak up those rays, Corey ☀️
We’re lucky to have you as part of our Pacific Station team and excited to keep building together.

From the Advanced Health + Sports Clinic community — give Corey some birthday love! 👇🎂

Healthcare doesn’t stand still, and neither does this team.

Behind the scenes, clinicians spend time studying, discussing, and learning together. They stay current with evolving research, clinical guidelines, and best practices so the care provided reflects where healthcare is today, not where it used to be.

That ongoing learning allows the team to adapt to new evidence, better understand emerging health trends, and make thoughtful, informed decisions for the people they support.

It’s quiet work.

But it’s a meaningful part of continually raising the standard of care.

Certified care you can trust 💚

Ever wish you could take the guesswork out of strength testing? That’s exactly why we use VALD ForceDecks 🏋️‍♂️📊

We get objective strength data instead of just “how it feels.”
We can see right vs left side differences.
We track real progress you can see in the numbers.
We measure force curves, not feelings.

For athletes and active people who love numbers, this gives real clarity on where you’re at and where you’re headed. For clinicians, it means smarter return‑to‑play decisions, catching deficits before they turn into injuries, and having receipts for every step of progress.

Tag an athlete who loves tracking data and follow us for more tools that help you move stronger and smarter 💪

Big shout-out to for a strong Day 1 of the Upper Extremity Mulligan – January 2026 course.

Huge thanks to Erik Schmidt (MScPT, FCAMPT) for an excellent day of instruction — clear clinical reasoning and practical takeaways across fingers, hands, wrists, elbows, and the cervical spine.

This course has been in the works since 2024, and it’s been great to finally see it come together. Mulligan remains one of the true hallmark names in global physiotherapy education, and it’s an honour to be the first local clinic to host this group.

Day one didn’t disappoint. Looking forward to diving into the rest of the upper-quadrant content tomorrow.
Stay tuned 👀
