When your upper back is weak, your whole body feels it.

Tight neck, slouchy posture, and your lower back doing way too much.

💡 If this sounds familiar, it might be time to build some real support where it counts.

Save this as your sign to stop stretching what’s tight and start strengthening what’s weak.

Ever wonder if adding a band to your pull-ups actually makes a difference?

Spoiler: it does, and in all the right ways.

Here’s why they matter 👇

✅️ They build strength through control.
The band supports you through the full range of motion, helping you move with better form, no flailing, no shortcuts.

✅️ They improve muscle activation.
With less strain on your neck and shoulders, you can actually focus on firing up your lats, core, and grip.

✅️ They boost confidence and consistency.
More reps = more practice. And more practice = real progress.

✅️ They bridge the gap.
From banded reps to negatives to strict pull-ups, every step moves you closer to unassisted strength.

It’s not “cheating.”
It’s training smart to get stronger.

Today feels a little heavier and a lot more meaningful.

Around the clinic, we’ve been sharing stories about the heroes we remember. Grandparents, siblings, friends… people who served with quiet courage and left a lasting impact on our lives.

And it’s a reminder of how much we owe to those who came before us.

We’re thinking of them today and we’re remembering with full hearts. ❤️

Think your core is fine?
Here are a few signs it’s time to build a stronger one 👇

💡 You struggle to sit or stand tall because your back and shoulders fatigue fast.

💡 You feel unstable during lifts or single-leg exercises.

💡 You get recurring lower back pain because your back’s working overtime.

💡 You lose balance easily; your core isn’t holding you steady.

💡 You can’t hold a plank for long. Endurance matters more than abs.

Your core isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s your body’s power and stability center.
Train it smart, not just hard.

Save this post and start with core control, not crunches.

Physios have a few go-to lines and no, we’re not just saying them to fill the silence 😅

Each one has a purpose: to guide your movement, check in on your progress, and make sure you feel supported (in and out of the clinic).

So if you’ve heard “One more rep” or “Let me know how this feels” more times than you can count… now you know why.

Heard any of these during your sessions? Let us know which one’s your physio’s catchphrase!

We all brush off neck pain sometimes… but what if it’s your body trying to get your attention? 🤔

That stiffness that won’t go away, pain that spreads to your shoulders or arms, or tingling in your hands, those are signs something deeper might be going on.

Your neck does a lot more than you think, and when it’s not happy, it lets you know.

Drop a 💆‍♀️ if you’ve ever ignored neck pain hoping it would “just go away.”

What’s missing in your running era?

Maybe it’s not more miles... maybe it’s more control...

As a physiotherapist, I see it all the time: runners who can push through distance but struggle with stability, tight hips, or that one ache that always shows up mid-run. The truth? Strength and mileage aren’t everything, control and awareness are.

→ Core stability — keeps your stride smooth and efficient, so your back and hips don’t overwork.

→ Hip mobility — frees up your stride and helps your glutes actually do their job.

→ Postural control — keeps you strong and aligned, even when fatigue sets in.

→ Breath awareness — connects your breath with your movement, improving rhythm and endurance.

→ Mind–body connection — helps you move intentionally, not just mechanically.

That’s where Pilates comes in. It’s not about replacing your runs, it’s about training the muscles and movement patterns that make running feel better and last longer.

So you finally started training your core the right way… what changed? 👇

✓ Your movement feels more controlled, not just stronger.
✓ Your back stopped overworking during lifts or sprints.
✓ You actually feel your body working together... hips, ribs, and spine in sync.
✓ That constant tightness or instability? Starting to fade.

Because a strong core isn’t just about crunches, it’s your base for everything:
→ Power
→ Agility
→ Balance
→ Injury prevention

When your core can stabilize under load, everything else moves smoother and feels lighter. That’s why every physical therapist keeps saying it, not because it’s cliché, but because it works.

Tag your training buddy who skips core day, it’s time to change that!

If winter usually slows you down, this one’s for you ❄️💪

The cold makes it easy to skip movement, but that’s when your body needs it most.
A simple mix of mobility, light strength work, and recovery keeps your joints happy, your mood steady, and your energy up all season long.

Perfect for anyone who feels stiff, sluggish, or unmotivated when the temperature drops.

You know that “ahhh” moment when your therapist finds the spot?
Yeah… that’s manual therapy doing its thing. 💆‍♀️✨

We see everything. 👀

So many patients come in saying,
“I feel dizzy.” “The room spins.” “I just feel off balance.” 🌀

But here’s the thing, not all dizziness is the same.
That’s why it often gets missed or misdiagnosed.

Here’s what I look for when someone describes those symptoms 👇
✅ Inner ear issues (vestibular system) — like BPPV or vestibular hypofunction
✅ Neck tension or stiffness — can throw off your body’s balance feedback
✅ Vision or eye coordination — your eyes and balance work closely together
✅ Blood pressure changes or fatigue — often linked to dysautonomia

Once we find the why, treatment gets clear, and progress usually follows fast. 💪

If you’ve been told “it’s just anxiety” or “it’s in your head,” but you still feel dizzy, it’s time to look deeper.
