Since graduating from Sutherland Chan School with a specialty in sports massage, Dru (“Dru”) has been successfully practicing as a Registered Massage Therapist (“RMT”) in downtown Toronto for over 10 years. His primary focus has been on sports massage therapy, including rehabilitation and remedial exercises in a variety of settings. Dru works with many clients via Goodlife Gyms and Multidisciplinary Clinics, alongside Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Naturopaths. He utilizes dynamic and active release techniques, as well as traditional Swedish massage to help with pain relief, relaxation and mental focus. Dru believes strongly in self-care for his RMT clients, and will prescribe exercises to be done outside of the clinic alongside RMT. Using stretching and breathing techniques for tight muscles, strengthening exercises using thera bands, weights, or body-weight (calisthenics) exercises to help with muscle imbalances, he finds clients with the highest recovery rate are highly involved in their own recovery. Hydrotherapy could also be employed using either hot, cold, or a combination of the two to prescribe and promote blood flow for chronic injuries as well as reduce inflammation for acute injuries. After working at Goodlife as an RMT and seeing the benefits of strength training for his client’s, he became a Canfitpro certified personal trainer which he has been for the past five years. In the gym, he’s become educated on all the compound straight bar lifts such as the squat, dead-lift, shoulder press, bench press as well as Olympic weightlifting. He’s also in-tune to maximizing clients' capabilities and making a newcomer feel comfortable in a gym environment, using kettle-bells, dumbbells, cable machines, thera bands and calisthenics. Dru is a 3rd degree black belt in Shotokan karate and a member of the gold medal winning sparring team of 1999. He has rekindled his love of tennis over the past 10 years and plays throughout the year. His personal hobbies over the last few years saw Dru becoming a proficient (albeit sporadic) knitter, completing hats, scarves and recently socks, among other various other related projects.

Can the time between bites be considered intermittent fasting?

09/25/2022

I have found that clients who stand for long periods of time at work have very tight “calves.” The micro movements they’re making to keep themselves balanced are fatiguing the muscles while not putting them through a full range of motion.

I I was made aware by my college, the CMTO, that registered massage therapists were able to receive the Pfizer vaccine. To my surprise, I received a notification two weeks later. I didn't think it would come so soon, based on the status of the role out at that time. I was vaccinated at the MARS building at the corner of Dundas and University. Each shot had an expiration time on it, mine was at 4:57pm if I remember correctly, it was around 12:15pm. After the required 15 minute wait time, I had no side effects and headed out. The whole procedure took around 25 minutes and everyone was very friendly. The following day I had some arm soreness and that was about it.
I know there are other professions who are exposed daily who are not currently eligible to receive their vaccines yet. I hope these professionals get prioritized and this role out gets up to speed ASAP!

I Ran 🏃 ladders back when I was a member of the Etobicoke Husky Striders track club as a teenager and they’re just as brutal as I remember them 👍🏻.

What are they?
Pick four destinations, run to the first and walk back to your starting position(recovery) run to second and walk back, the third, then the fourth. You’re at the top of the ladder 👏🏼

Now you’re heading down and you will run to the third, walk back, the second and finally the first and you’re done ✅

These are sprints so make sure you have a five minute warm up jog beforehand.

We did these on a track so we didn’t have to walk back to where we came. We’d run 100mtrs walk 100mtrs all the way to 400mtrs. I’m doing it in a straight line now hence walking back to where I started.

Give it a shot 🏃‍♀️ and the sign on this see saw was btwn the ages of 5 yrs and 49 yrs btw ⏰ ✌️ Book your RMT sessions via the link in my bio 🖐
