Today, we wear orange in support of residential school survivors and acknowledge the residential school experience. By wearing orange, we commit to a better future.

This year, the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, Paediatric Division hosted a webinar on Jordan’s Principle.

“Jordan’s Principle makes sure all First Nations children living in Canada can access the products, services and supports they need, when they need them. Funding can help with a wide range of health, social and educational needs, including the unique needs that First Nations Two-Spirit and LGBTQQIA children and youth and those with disabilities may have.

Jordan’s Principle is named in memory of Jordan River Anderson. He was a young boy from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba.” — Government of Canada, Indigenous Services

Through continued education and understanding, we can ensure indigenous children and families get the care and support they deserve.

Happy Occupational Therapy Month!

For OT month we are celebrating by giving you information on our OT’s favourite body system…..the sensory system!

Did you know we all have a sensory system?

Sensory processing is how our body takes in information from the world around us, make sense of it, and responds to it. This information is anything you can hear, see, smell, touch, or taste around you!

We become dysregulated when we are overwhelmed or have a hard time understanding the everything happening around us! Signs of dysregulation include – big emotions/meltdowns, hard time controlling behaviours, hard time making decisions, lots of emotions, and avoidance of tasks.

Regardless of who you are, we all have a ‘sensory profile’ – which is how we react to things happening around us, and what we need to help regulate, stay calm and make it through the day.

A common phrase in OT sessions is “Everyone has a Sensory Profile!”

To help spread awareness of sensory processing, normalizing finding time to listen to our bodies, and take care of ourselves, we collaborated with to create a design to share with families!

Albertans are so lucky to have so many Rocky Mountain adventures right at our doorstep. Hiking and mountain biking are activities that many families enjoy, but no matter how careful we are rocky trails and uneven terrain can often lead to falls and unwanted injuries.

If pain from injury persists, don’t hesitate to seek help. Physiotherapy does not require a referral, so the sooner you come in, the sooner we can create an appropriate treatment plan that’ll get your family back on the trails and exploring our beautiful country! ⛰️🚵🏼‍♀️🥾

We have two Physio graduates to spotlight today!

Photo #1: This sweet babe is 5 months old and she had her first Physio appointment at 5 weeks old. She had tightness in her neck with a preference to looking only one way. And now there is no tightness or preference to be found. Way to go!

Photo # 2: “A” started physio in March to work on strengthening her ankles. She has been doing a lot of fun games to challenge her lower body strength. This week she graduated after 5 visits and lots of hard work in between! What a superstar!

Congratulations to these two, along with so many other kiddos who accomplished so many amazing things this month!

Soccer season! ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Games, practices, and mobs of little children running haphazardly around the pitch is a nightly community ritual these days. As a result, we’re seeing lots of rolled ankles, knee pain, shin pain and other issues in our footballers.

If your soccer player has experienced an injury or has expressed areas of pain, let us help them get back on the field asap!
