You’d think they’re the same height… until they stand up 👀

What you’re really seeing here is trunk height vs. leg length.
Proportions matter more than we realize, especially when it comes to movement, posture, and biomechanics.

Appearances can be deceiving whether it’s posture, movement, or how your body actually functions beneath the surface. That’s why we assess how you move, not just how things look!

Drop a 😮 if the reveal got you.

Movement fuels more than your muscles 🦠💪

Research shows regular exercise supports gut microbiome diversity, often measured by the Shannon Index, a marker of how balanced and resilient your gut bacteria are.

Most studies point to moderate–high intensity movement for 30–90 minutes, 3+ times per week, especially when paired with good nutrition and healthy lifestyle habits.

While everyone benefits, changes may be more noticeable in females and older adults. Just remember: exercise is one piece of the puzzle alongside diet, sleep, and stress management.

✨ Takeaway: Move your body consistently. Walking, strength training, cycling, or yoga can all help support a healthier, more diverse gut.

🚗 Think of your gut like a vehicle.

Nutrition is the fuel, but movement is what actually gets you where you want to go. 🥗🍎

Fibre-rich foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains help feed your gut microbiome. But without regular movement, that fuel does not get used as effectively. Exercise supports gut motility, microbial diversity, and overall digestive health.

The goal is not perfection. It is consistency.
💪 One nourishing meal. One movement break. Every day is a chance to support your gut from multiple angles.

Your gut thrives when fuel and movement work together! 🤝

Your gut talks to you every day but the question is whether you're listening.

Occasional bloating, heartburn, or constipation can happen. But persistent symptoms are not something to “push through” or normalize.

🚩 Stool changes (especially blood or ongoing constipation),
🚩 a hard or swollen abdomen that doesn’t resolve, or
🚩 frequent heartburn that keeps returning
can all be signs your digestive system needs support or further assessment.

We remind our patients that early attention matters. Addressing gut issues sooner can help prevent bigger problems down the line and improve quality of life now.

If something feels off, trust that instinct. Support can include nutrition changes, lifestyle adjustments, or knowing when to seek medical care.

Your gut is a community and movement helps it thrive. 🦠💥

When we think gut health, nutrition usually steals the spotlight. But exercise plays a powerful role too. Regular movement has been shown to increase the diversity and abundance of gut microbiota, which supports digestion, metabolism, immune health, and even mood.

👉 Less movement = fewer microbial “friends”
👉 More movement = a stronger, more diverse gut ecosystem

The best part? It doesn’t have to be extreme. Walking, strength training, cardio - it all counts. Your gut doesn’t need perfection, just consistency.

Because gut health isn’t just what you eat… it’s how you move too. 💪🧠

Cheers to a fresh start ✨

As we step into 2026, we’re grateful for our community and the trust you place in us. Here’s to moving with intention, caring for both body and mind, and building healthy habits that feel sustainable, not stressful.

Thank you for being part of Preventous. We can’t wait to support you in the year ahead.

💬 What’s one intention you’re carrying into the new year?

✨ Healing doesn’t have to be “wait and see.”

With the updated PEACE & LOVE approach to injury care, you can take an active role in your recovery from day one — safely, intentionally, and with confidence.

Old protocols like RICE often encouraged too much rest and not enough rehabilitation. Today, we know better. Healing is most effective when you:
✔ support your body in the early phase
✔ reintroduce movement at the right time
✔ keep a positive mindset
✔ and follow a plan tailored to your injury

Whether you’re recovering from a sprain, strain, or sudden injury, working with an injury specialist helps ensure you’re following the right steps for your unique needs.

If you’re unsure where to start, we’re here to support you every step of the way. 💙

📲 Book an appointment with our Athletic Therapist to build your personalized injury prevention and rehab plan.

✨ Feeling bloated, uncomfortable, or unsettled?

Gentle movement and mindful breathing can be powerful tools for supporting digestion and easing symptoms related to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), without intense workouts or pressure. 🧘‍♀️

A series of mobility-focused exercises that are exercise physiologist approved:
• A calm walk to encourage gut motility
• Deep breathing to activate your body’s “rest & digest” response
• Cat-Cow for gentle abdominal massage
• Child’s Pose to reduce tension and promote relaxation

Research suggests that slow, intentional movements and breath work can help reduce stress (a common IBS trigger) and support better digestion.

👉 Try incorporating these into your day, especially after meals or when discomfort strikes.

And always listen to your body, if something doesn’t feel right, modify or stop.
