What started as a lunch break turned into a full team effort — mirror arrived, and within minutes everyone jumped in without a word. No roles, no hesitation, just people who care about the space and each other getting it done.
That’s the kind of teamwork we bring into the clinic every single day — for each other and for our clients.

Some moments quietly remind you what this work is really about.

While you support a family through a difficult time, they show up in return—in the smallest, most thoughtful ways.

It’s never just about the treatment. It’s about trust, connection, and becoming part of each other’s lives 🤍

April 11 is World Parkinson’s Day.

Parkinson’s disease is more than a tremor. More than a shuffle.
It can include changes in walking, balance, stiffness, softer voice, fatigue, sleep disruption, mood changes, and cognitive or behavioural changes. And importantly, the presentation is different for every person.

What’s happening in the brain?
Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative condition that affects an area deep in the brain called the Substantia nigra. This area produces Dopamine, a chemical messenger that helps coordinate movement, motivation, mood, and many automatic body processes.
As Parkinson’s progresses, some of the dopamine-producing cells gradually stop working. With less dopamine available, the brain has more difficulty sending smooth, efficient signals to the body.

When those signals are reduced, it can affect many systems, including:
• movement speed and fluidity
• muscle stiffness and coordination
• balance reactions
• voice and facial expression
• sleep and energy levels
• mood and motivation
• thinking and attention
This is why Parkinson’s is considered both a movement disorder and a whole-body neurological condition.

Why exercise matters
The benefits of consistent, appropriately challenging exercise are well established in Parkinson’s care. Research shows exercise can help by:
• strengthening neural connections involved in movement
• improving the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize (neuroplasticity)
• increasing brain-supporting growth factors
• helping the brain use available dopamine more efficiently
• protecting strength, mobility, and cardiovascular health
While exercise doesn’t cure Parkinson’s, it is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect function and independence over time. As Neurological physiotherapist we take the role of exercise coach seriously! Our goal is to help people move better, stay active, and participate in the things that matter most.
If Parkinson’s is part of your life — for you or someone you love — you don’t have to navigate it alone.

April is a big month in our Neuro world.
💛 It’s Parkinson’s disease Awareness Month.
🧡💙 And also Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) Awareness Month.

While these conditions are very different in their underlying biology, they share several clinical features, patient experiences, and rehabilitation approaches.
Some symptoms can include tremor, weakness, changes in walking patterns, dizziness, seizure-like episodes, brain fog, fatigue, and shifts in mood or behaviour.
Because symptoms can be variable and fluctuating, people living with these conditions often experience delays in diagnosis or the feeling of not being fully understood within the healthcare system. Many of our clients share that they frequently have to advocate for themselves along their journey.

This April, we’ll be sharing:
• what’s happening in the nervous system, simply
• resources in BC for support and community
• book and movie recommendations featuring powerful first-person accounts of living with these conditions

We look forward to learning together! 💛

What are you doing this month?

We’re excited to be joining the global Parkinson’s community at Insight into Parkinson’s. A global online event focused on the latest research, clinical insights, and treatment approaches in Parkinson’s care. 🌍

Team Activate is always learning so we can bring the very best to our clients. We’re especially looking forward to deepening our understanding of:
• Stem cell & gene therapy
• Fall prevention
• Dystonia
• Gait and mobility rehab strategies
• Exercise-driven neuroplasticity
• Strength training in Parkinson’s
• Vestibular dysfunction (assessment & treatment)
• Practical strategies for freezing of gait (FOG)
• The role of cognition in FOG
• Wearable tech and innovation in Parkinson’s care

If you’re living with Parkinson’s, supporting someone who is, or working in neuro rehab this is an incredible opportunity to learn and connect.

👉 Register here: https://pdwarrior.com/insight/
Let us know if you’ll be joining as we’d love to learn alongside you.

March 25 is recognized as National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day.
If you only do one thing this month, do this:

💚 wear green
💚 start one conversation
💚 engage with respect and curiosity

Because people with CP don’t need to be “inspirational” to deserve access. They don’t need to “overcome” their disability to deserve inclusion. They deserve environments, schools, workplaces, and communities that are built with accessibility in mind.

If CP is part of your family’s life, and you’re tired you’re not alone. You’re navigating a system that often asks families to do too much.
Today, we’re sending love to every CP warrior, every parent, every caregiver, every adult living with CP. 💚

💪 What do we do in neuro physiotherapy?

In functional strength training for Parkinson’s, we target strength, balance, coordination, and movement amplitude. All essential for everyday independence. Using tools like the TRX suspension system, we safely challenge the body, improve posture, and build confidence in movement. Every session is about reclaiming control and building confidence, one rep at a time! ✅

🌟 Welcome to Team Activate, Vian! 🌟

Vian (Yuanyuan) is a Registered Massage Therapist practicing since 2018, passionate about helping clients manage pain, improve function, and support long-term wellness. She uses a mix of trigger point, myofascial, neuromuscular techniques, stretching, Swedish massage, and IASTM to support injury rehab, chronic pain and stress relief.

A reminder we share often:
skills grow through repetition — but repetition has to be meaningful.

Our Neurological Paediatric Physiotherapist, Prashanthi, has extensive experience supporting children with CP to work toward their individual goals — and she’s a big believer in play that actually transfers to real-life movement.

Some of her favourite go-to activities (when appropriate and safe) include:
1️⃣ Tall kneel play
Kneel on a soft surface and play at a couch or low bench.
Builds hip and trunk strength, balance reactions, and postural control.
2️⃣ Side-to-side reach & place
Place toys slightly to the left and right → reach → place into a bucket.
Supports weight shift, trunk activation, and controlled movement.
3️⃣ Obstacle “islands”
Step to a pillow, then a taped square, then a mat.
Keep it short, repeat it, and celebrate the wins.

Prashanthi also works with children with other congenital and neurological conditions, including developmental delay, Down syndrome, spina bifida, hydrocephalus, and more.

Important note:
If an activity increases pain, causes a big spike in fatigue, or changes tone/spasticity for a prolonged period — scale it down and check in with your physio for modifications.

Propulsion is the force pushing into the ground that drives us forward in walking, reaching, and jumping. After stroke, restoring this push-off power is key for efficient movement.

Huge respect to this incredible gent for putting in the work. He's been training intensively: fast walking, hills, and jumping drills to challenge the right leg and spark neuroplastic adaptation. (Videos shared with client consent.)

Today his progress is measured in leaps and bounds! 💥
