Who Can Touch Their Toes (Correctly)? 🤔

It's time for a challenge! We’ve got two of our therapists showing off the Standing Flexion Test.

Which team do you think your movement is closer to, Team J or Team F

Check out their movement and when you try, keep an eye out for:
- Good Curve: Does your spine round smoothly as you bend?
- Hip Movement: Are your hips moving back?
- Flexibility: Can you comfortably reach your toes?

Poor form in this simple movement can lead to aches and pains in your lower back or hips. If you feel like you belong on Team F, you're not alone! Many people do.

Tell us in the comments: Are you Team J or Team F? 👇

The good news? It's something our therapists can help you with! We can assess your movement and create a simple plan to help you feel and move better.

A Win Worthy of Sharing!

Another week, another incredible achievement from our Therapists! We love helping our clients get back to doing what they love and this story is a perfect example of what's possible with the right care.

A client came to us with a shoulder so painful and stiff, they couldn't even move it, convinced they had put it out at the gym. It was a tough 8/10 on the pain scale! 😬

Our therapist performed a thorough physical assessment the result was the shoulder’s Active Range Of Motion (ROM) and Resisted Isometric (RI) was nil and painful in all directions. Passive ROM was not able to be assessed due to the client not wanting to move their shoulder. Through a combination of targeted soft tissue work on the Pectoral muscles, Coracobrachialis and Biceps, along with gentle but effective shoulder mobilizations, something amazing happened…THE PAIN WAS GONE!

By the end of the session, the client's shoulder movement was completely restored, matching their good side! The pain dropped to a minimal 1/10.

But the best part? The genuine smile on their face and their words: "Thank you, you have really made my shoulder 100% better!"

This is why we do what we do. It's not just about treating pain—it's about giving you back your life.
