The holiday season is just around the corner 🎄 — and that means our schedule at Momentum Health is filling up fast!

Appointments with our RMT, physiotherapist, chiropractor, osteopath, kinesiologist, personal trainer, and mental health counselor are already booking weeks in advance. ⏰

If you’re hoping to schedule a visit between now and the New Year, we recommend booking ahead to secure your preferred time — this is always one of our busiest seasons.

It’s also a good time to review your extended health coverage — many plans renew in January, so planning early can help you plan out your benefits before they reset. 🗓️

The stationary lunge is one of the most effective single-leg movements you can add to your routine.

✅ Builds strength in your quads, glutes, and hips.
✅ Helps improve balance and stability
✅ Great as an accessory to barbell squats or as a standalone lower-body builder
✅ Useful in knee and hip rehab, helping restore control and confidence in single-leg strength

Whether you’re working toward stronger squats or just looking to move and feel better — this is a staple worth mastering.

Why You Should Be Doing Goblet Squats 💪🏽
The goblet squat is one of the best ways to learn — and perfect — your squat form. 🏋️‍♀️

✅ Beginner-friendly: A great entry point for learning proper squat mechanics without the complexity of a barbell.
✅ Teaches posture & balance: Helps you maintain an upright torso and stable squat position.
✅ Pain-friendly option: Ideal for those who experience discomfort with heavy axial loading — it’s easier on the back while still building strength.
✅ Highly adaptable: Add pauses, tempo work, or higher reps to progress and keep things challenging.
✅ Targets: Quads, glutes, adductors, and core stability — making it an all-around lower body builder.

Perfect for anyone looking to build a strong foundation, improve mobility, or dial in their technique before moving to barbell squats.

🎥 Check out our new video on how to perform the goblet squat properly — your knees (and gains) will thank you!

⚡️Sprain vs. Strain: What’s the Difference⚡️

Sprains = ligament injuries (like ankles, knees, even the lower back from rotation-based sports).

Strains = muscle/tendon injuries (think hamstring pulls).

💡Why sprains take longer to heal: ligaments are avascular — meaning they don’t have the same blood supply as muscles. Less blood = slower healing.

⏳Healing timeline for sprains:
👉 Grade I: 1–3 weeks
👉 Grade II: 4–6 weeks
👉 Grade III: 3–6+ months

🚨 Watch out for:

Significant swelling

Sharp/stabbing pain

Instability (joint giving way)

If you’ve rolled your ankle, tweaked your knee, or even strained a ligament in your back, don’t ignore it. Early management + proper rehab = better long-term outcomes.

🔑 Key takeaway: Healing ligaments takes time. Be patient, move smart, and listen to your body.

Did you know?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome isn’t a “tunnel problem”, it’s your median nerve getting pinched inside the wrist’s narrow carpal tunnel. That pinch can cause numbness, tingling, or weakness.

Start with exercise, posture tweaks, ergonomic tweaks, and nerve gliding exercises. But if symptoms persist, especially with constant numbness or muscle weakness, surgery may be considered. Surgery often helps (most patients see 75–90% improvement, and many have long-term relief), but keep in mind, it's not always a complete fix, and some discomfort may remain.

Early exercise-based therapy can sometimes match surgical outcomes in the short term. Let's work together to find the best path for your hand health.

Press your way to stronger shoulders 💪⚡️
The standing barbell shoulder press is a powerhouse move that lights up your anterior delts, triceps, and upper chest, all while challenging your core to stay stable. It is a simple lift, but one that builds serious strength.

One reason your back pain isn’t going away?

It could be spondylolisthesis — when one vertebra edges forward over the one below it.

This usually happens because of a defect in a small part of the bone called the pars interarticularis. That defect can develop from:

Naturally thinner bones 🦴

Repetitive activities that overextend the spine (think certain sports or movements)

Most cases show up in the low back just above the tailbone. Sometimes, people don’t even know they have it until an X-ray finds it by accident. But when symptoms do show up, they can include:

Lower back pain

Muscle spasms and stiffness

Trouble standing or walking

Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the legs (in more severe cases)

We grade it based on how far the vertebra has slipped forward. Once it’s over 50%, pain and dysfunction are more likely — and higher grades can press on nerve roots, causing even more symptoms.

✅ Treatment:

In acute cases, a back brace might help

Most cases respond best to core and lower back strengthening to support your spine and keep you active

Surgery (like spinal fusion) is a last resort if nothing else works

💡 If you’ve been dealing with stubborn back pain, stiffness, or nerve symptoms, it’s worth getting checked.

📅 Book with one of our practitioners today so we can assess, guide your recovery, and get you moving without pain.
