Good to everyone lining up at the various events this weekend and over the rest of the spring/summer season!

Most importantly - remember why you signed up in the first place!

It’s tough to put yourself into uncomfortable situations and be forced to compare yourself to others in that moment.
So remember all the great reasons that made you want to be a competitor!

Community, connection, finding your limits, finding awesome teammates / training partners, exploring new places, coming back stronger from injury (with the help of your physio of course 😉) - sooo many good things come from doing hard things so we hope everyone has their best race weekend - even if it isn’t a PB!

More pre race tips - make yourself a plan!

Skip the extra stress and plan out the few days prior to racing + the morning of - training, work time, family time, travel time, meal times + before and during race strategies …that’s a lot to remember, so might as well write it down 🤓

✅ Pre race training - not testing!
🍝 Running friendly race week meals and pre-race dinner
⏰ Wake-up + breakfast time + start time - ideally spread out quite a bit 😅 Many athletes make sure to be awake ~3hrs before early start times
🔥 Warm-up routine + when to get to the start line *sometimes different than actual start time!
💧 Hydration + fueling strategy - when and how much you need to eat and drink to feel good and perform at your best
🥵 Pacing strategy - any distance can feel like a very long way if you burn all your matches too early …but sometimes you don’t know until you try 😁

Less stress, more stoke 🕺💃

He specializes in muskuloskeletal problems such as low back pain, neck pain, upper and lower extremity problems from overuse or trauma, and post-operative care, with a patient-centred, biopsychosocial approach. We are very confident Roman can help you get out of pain, recover from set backs, and get back to your meaningful activities!

We are so happy to welcome Cheryl Megalos to our team! Cheryl is a physiotherapist, IMS and Fascial Manipulation practitioner and will be joining us on Mondays!

Cheryl completed her Bachelor of Science in Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of British Columbia, in 1994. She then had training in manipulative therapy through the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. After instruction in Intramuscular Stimulation with Dr Chan Gunn (GIMS), she became certified to practise IMS in 2007. Fascial Manipulation became a clinical interest in 2010, when she started her training in Italy. Assessment and application with musculoskeletal disorders was completed, then she furthered her study in Fascial Manipulation for Internal Dysfunction and superficial fascial dysfunction, and acquired her teacher’s certification in 2015. While in Italy she has had the pleasure and honour of learning from the “Family Stecco:” Luigi Stecco PT; Dr Carla Stecco MD; and Dr Antonio Stecco MD. Currently, she is teaching Fascial Manipulation workshops and Level I and II courses in Canada and returns to Padova, Italy regularly for ongoing education.

Another area of interest includes women’s health, in particular rehabilitation after thoracic surgery, including masctectomy and reconstructive surgery and complications such as lymphedema.

You can book online with Cheryl or give us a call!
