🤔TECHNIQUE🤔
The debate and discussions about exercise technique is one that tends to divide people

On one side we have the ultra vigilant perfectionists who think any deviations are detrimental for both performance or health

And then we have the radical movement optimists who think people can do whatever they want however they want whenever they want

I think both extremes are wrong

Allowing chaotic movement to occur all the time is not going to develop control and coordination and may be higher risk of lower performance or even injury

However the ultra perfectionists are also at higher risk of injury by only doing exercises one way which under prepares them for the unexpected and only loads and stresses tissues one way minimising the distribution of forces

For me the middle ground here is a good place to be, which I know doesn’t work well on tribal social media but hey… let’s give it a try!

For me exercising with variety and variation in technique from set to set, rep to rep, and day to day is ok and essential!

But so is learning some repetitiveness, control and coordination when exercising to develop some skills and help improve performance

As Eric B and Rakim said… ‘don’t sweat the technique’

Have you ever wondered if a vestibular assessment would benefit you or a loved one? Here is some information about how our certified physiotherapist Meghan could help.

Vestibular rehabilitation is an exercise-based program designed to improve balance and reduce problems related to dizziness. Common symptoms people experience are dizziness, imbalance, vertigo, tinnitus, brain fog, vision impairment, and motion sickness to name a few. A vestibular assessment entails assessing the neck, eye and head movements as well as balance.
The initial assessment takes 90 minutes and the follow-up treatments are 40 minutes.

Are you curious about acupuncture and its benefits?
Our physiotherapist Meghan can help you with this!
Acupuncture uses sterilized, disposable needles to elicit a physical response of the body. It helps reduce pain, swelling and muscle spasm. It can improve mobility and sensation as well.
Is it painful? People describe the feeling of acupuncture like a mosquito bite, but most people do not feel the needles at all. It can elicit a Qui ("chee") sensation that may feel like a warming or cooling sensation, pins and needles, etc.
Length of appointments? The assessment will take 60 minutes. Follow up treatments like 30 minutes.
If you would like more information about acupuncture or to book an appointment, please message us or call the office.
