It's time for another Terminology Tip Tuesday!! Find our more about Dislocations below ๐Ÿ‘‡

Dislocation is a joint injury that occurs when the bones in a joint are forced out of their normal position, causing the joint to become unstable and painful.

Physiotherapy treatment for dislocation typically involves reducing pain and inflammation, restoring joint mobility and stability, and improving strength and function through exercise and manual therapy techniques.

If dislocation is something you experience regularly consider booking an assessment!

Let's do a little FAQ for everyone today ๐Ÿ‘‡

Q: How long is each treatment?
A: New assessments with our Physio and Athletic Therapists are about 1 hour in length and follow up visits are about 30 minutes in length (if you and your therapist decide you need longer follow ups, those are available). Massage Therapy visits can be booked at the length that you prefer, usually 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes.

Q: Is my therapist register/certified?
A: All practitioners at Inertia Physio+ are certified and/or registered with their respective professional associations and colleges.

Q: Are treatments painful?
A: Treatments can be painful, but they donโ€™t have to be. Our therapists are trained in a variety of techniques, some of which are more painful than others. They will always take the time to communicate with you throughout your treatment and ensure that you are comfortable with the level of pain if any. Open communication between patient and therapist is very important!

Q: Who pays for the treatments?
A: Ultimately, the patient is responsible for payment of their own account. However, whenever possible, we would be happy to provide you the service of direct billing to your insurance company. We are also happy to do direct billing to Motor Vehicle Accident Insurance and Blue Cross for Veterans Affairs of Canada, RCMP and Canadian Forces as able.

Anymore questions? Drop them below or give us a call/email! We are always happy to answer your questions.

Our favourite thing about our clinic? ๐Ÿ’–

Your therapist doesn't leave you.

No more bouncing from patient to patient and being hooked up to machines. Our clinic offers a hands on approach to Physiotherapy.

While you are here it is our goal to help you get the most out of your session and get you back to your busy life with improved quality as quickly as possible. In order to accomplish this goal, your appointment is spent entirely with your therapist.

We donโ€™t want you to spend time here doing things you could easily do in the comfort of your own home. Our therapists are with you every step of the way, from the assessment focused on your specific impairment to prescribing an individual exercise program, to your private one-on-one follow-up sessions.

Your time is spent with our highly specialized therapists; never assistants or students.

The Olympics brings some of the worldโ€™s most incredible athletes together in what is sure to be a grand spectacle of sport and great stories. It also brings together a country in a special way as we collectively cheer on our team! With the Opening Ceremonies happening today, weโ€™re excited about the sports to come and ready to cheer on Team Canada โ„

In celebration of the Olympics starting today weโ€™re sharing a few Inertia Physio+ approved tips to help you warm up and stay injury-free while enjoying winter activities:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Firstly, dress appropriately! If youโ€™re skating, skiing, or playing outdoor sports, dress warmly in layers and wear the appropriate protective equipment.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Warm before and cool down after! Start getting your heart rate up slowly and add in some movement to get your joints moving and muscles loosened up and ready to move. Cool down slowly when you are done and do some stretching to help elongate your muscles after use.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Start slow. Ease into your activity to allow your body time to adjust, especially if itโ€™s been a while since youโ€™ve been active.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Listen to your body. Pain is a signal, if something doesnโ€™t feel right, take a break or stop.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Recover properly. Stay hydrated and allow adequate rest between activities to avoid overuse injuries.

If youโ€™re dealing with aches, pains, or injuries this winter, our team is here to help keep you moving safely all season long!

It's time for another Terminology Tip Tuesday!

Today's word seems simple but it can be quite complex!

โœจBoneโœจ

Bone refers to the hard, dense connective tissue that forms the skeletal system of the body.

In Physiotherapy, bone is often assessed and treated in relation to its role in supporting and facilitating movement through joints, as well as its potential for injury or dysfunction.

Physiotherapists may use a variety of techniques and interventions to address bone-related issues, such as manual therapy, exercise prescription, and education on proper body mechanics and posture.

What term do you want to learn about next?

Back pain is one of the most common and often overlooked medical concerns. If you are experiencing regular back pain and stretching, movement, heat and ice are not helping, you should consider seeking help.

Standard back pain treatment should look a bit like this:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Firstly an extensive medical history should be taken at the start of your initial assessment. This will help discover the underlying cause of your back pain.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Your treatment plan should be unique to you. The plan should focus on symptom/pain management as well as treating the root cause of the back pain. It should also include addressing any other tension or weakness through a stretching and strengthening program.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Afterwards, your Physiotherapist should help you decide if other treatments are necessary. Other treatments could include Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Dry Needling, etc.

A Physiotherapist or Athletic Therapist can help determine the cause of your back pain and suggest a treatment plan to get you feeling better.

To prevent back pain, focus on good posture and lifting mechanics, activity, and healthy weight.

If you are experiencing back pain, you don't have to live with it!

๐Ÿ“ฃ Friendly Reminder: Most insurance benefits reset at the start of the year ๐Ÿ“ฃ

Unless your plan states otherwise, coverage typically renews annually. That means itโ€™s the perfect time to start using your benefits and make 2026 the year you prioritize your health, healing, and a pain-free body ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ

You did it! You booked your first Manual Lymphatic Drainage session! What now?

Here's what you can expect from your initial session ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ‘‰ Shortly after booking your appointment you will receive an intake form via email. This form is where you can explain why you are looking for treatment, past history, any medications you are on, and explain your goals/expectations from manual lymphatic drainage. You can also add your insurance here so we can have it ready when you come in!

๐Ÿ‘‰ Before getting started you and your therapist will sit down and go over the intake form you filled out, and talk more about your goals. She will likely ask you questions to get to know your everyday life better and help target your needs.

๐Ÿ‘‰ You'll want to wear some loose fitting clothing. You may be asked to remove some clothing for access to the treatment area, but draping is always provided!

๐Ÿ‘‰ Your therapist will assess your individual needs and may recommend frequency and duration based on your condition and your goals.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Most clients find the treatment deeply relaxing, often experiencing a sense of lightness or reduced swelling after the first session!

Questions about Manual Lymphatic Drainage? Drop them below and we will happily answer them!

Many of us book a massage for relaxation and stress relief โ€” but did you know Massage Therapy offers so much more than just โ€œme timeโ€? ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธโœจ

Here are some of the physiological benefits of Massage Therapy:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Reduces pain & inflammation
Massage can help decrease pain-related cytokines, which play a major role in inflammation.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Supports digestion
The pressure used during massage can stimulate the digestive tract, reduce cramps and spasms, and relax the abdominal and intestinal walls.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Boosts circulation
Massage improves blood and lymphatic circulation, helping lower blood pressure, remove metabolic waste, and enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout the body.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Supports immune function
Research shows Massage may increase white blood cell count, helping your body better fight illness.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Improves breathing
By reducing tension in the muscles that support respiration, Massage can help regulate breathing patterns.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Maintains bone & joint health
Regular Massage can improve posture and balance while reducing stress on bones and joints.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Promotes skin health
Massage encourages skin cell regeneration, increases blood flow, and supports healthy vasodilation.

And of course โ€” relaxation is a big part of it too! ๐Ÿ˜Œ
There are so many benefits to seeing a Registered Massage Therapist regularly, and many insurance plans include coverage for Massage Therapy.
