🟢 Q & A Wednesday 🟢

"Do you recommend the posture bands?" 🤷

Posture bands help pull the shoulders back and keep you standing up straighter. I am asked a lot about whether they are something that is beneficial when trying to retrain your posture.

I usually don't recommend posture bands. They are more of a bandaid. They may help put you in better posture in the short term but eventually your body will just get used to the band doing the work. I have also had some people who start to have numbness or tingling in their hands because the bands put pressure on the brachial plexus in their shoulders.

You are better to strengthen the back and stretch the chest as well as functionally training the body to hold itself.

We are into a very busy time of year with school, sports and extracurricular activities. I understand that your schedule may be all over the place for the next few months.

Please give me at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel. The full amount of the appointment will be charged for lat cancellations and no-show appointments. This doesn't apply to cancellations due to weather or sickness.

Did you know that your shoes have an expiry date?

👟 Once your shoes have holes and visible wear, it is already too late. Think of them like your car tires. They only last so long.

👞 Shoes should be replaced every 500 miles or so. I recommend about every 6 months if you are on your feet every day.

🥾 Before you put your summer shoes away for the season, think about replacing them all together. Also look at your winter boots because they wear out also.

🔴 Muscle Monday - Soleus 🔴

🔺Soleus is one of your calf muscles. It attaches from just below the back of the knee down to the Achilles tendon.

🔺It is sometimes missed in stretching routines because it sits behind the Gastrocnemius muscle (the big teardrop muscle in the calf).

🔺To stretch it, you have to bend your knee while doing a calf stretch.

🟩 Fun Fact!
The calf muscles work as a pump to compress the deep veins when contracting and forcing blood up towards the heart. This is part of why using under desk bikes and doing ankle pumping can help with swelling in the ankles and calves.

Unlike a broken arm or torn ACL, a concussion is often invisible. Its symptoms may be hard to see, but are very real to those who experience them.

Confusion, memory issues, irritability and sleep disturbances are all symptoms associated with concussion. But they can be subtle and easily mistaken for something else, leaving affected individuals to feel misunderstood or dismissed.

Because diagnosis relies on honesty and self-reporting, open communication is critical to receiving and delivering proper care.

This Concussion Awareness Week, let’s commit to Seeing the Unseen by recognizing symptoms, supporting recovery and changing the way we talk about concussions.

Muscle strains are a very common injury. Many times we don't even seek treatment for this injury.

A muscle strain is a tear in the muscle. It can be minor (which is very common) or it can be a major tear. Many times a tear happens when the muscle is over stretched. Think about a hair tie. It has a bit of stretch to it but will eventually fail if it is overstretched or worn. It is considered minor when only a few fibres of muscle are torn. Sometimes this only causes pain for a day or two. The more major strains are up to 90% torn fibres or full tears through the muscle. These can have symptoms like swelling, bruising, and weakness.

With all muscle strains, RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation) is the best treatment to start with. This helps control the amount of inflammation and swelling as well as pain.

All levels of strains also require proper treatment before going back to work or play. Even the most minor strain can become worse and reoccur if you go back too early.

“I’ll Come to You”

I have had the passion to help people for as long as I can remember. As an Athletic Therapist, I strive to help everyone from elite athletes to weekend warriors to industrial workers. No injury is too small. I treat all musculoskeletal injuries (muscles, bones, ligaments, and joints) so that you can get back to the life you love to live. I am also trained in the rehabilitation and return to activity after sustaining a concussion.

I started this business in particular after noticing many people who cannot make it to an appointment because they don’t have a vehicle, work till 6, or can’t get a babysitter. Those should not hold anyone back from getting the treatment they deserve.
