Embarking on a fitness journey for the new year? 🌟 Here are some key tips for injury-free progress:

1. Warm-Up Right: A dynamic warm-up gets your body ready for action. Include movements that mimic your workout to prep your muscles.

3. Strength Train Smartly: Build strength with proper form. If you're feeling unsure about your routine or form, book an assessment with one of our physiotherapists to reduce risk of injury!

4. Rest and Recover: Allow time for your body to recover. Adequate sleep, hydration, and rest days are vital for optimal performance.

Meet Basit Adeyinka from our dynamic clinic in Fort Saskatchewan. Basit graduated from the University of Alberta with a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy and an honour’s degree in BSc Kinesiology from York University in Toronto, ON. ⁠
⁠
He fully dedicated to providing the best evidence-based patient-centred care to all of his patients. In Basit’s own words, “I strive myself in continual growth and to always enhance my clinical knowledge, skills and expertise in the field of Physiotherapy and sports rehabilitation. I have completed my Level 1 course in soft tissue release even before graduating from the Physiotherapy program, and I have started my post-graduate training with the Orthopedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. ⁠
⁠
I enjoy treating a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries and orthopedic conditions, including spinal dysfunction or pain, sport and work-related injuries, Motor vehicle accidents, Injury prevention programs. My treatment style includes collaborating with my patients to better understand the underlying cause of injury, pain or dysfunction and to providing patient-specific treatment plans to getting you to move better and returning to things that matter most to you. After all, each patient is different, and as a result, my treatment approach with everyone will be different. We’ll work together to get you where you need to be (That’s my goal!).⁠
⁠
When we meet, you’ll soon find out that health and fitness are my passion. When I’m not in the clinic, I’m busy engaging in various sporting/fitness activities such as bodybuilding, running, martial arts, basketball and soccer. If I wasn’t pursuing physiotherapy as a career, I would be pursuing my other dream of becoming a professional soccer player. However, after sustaining several injuries playing at a Semi-professional level in Toronto, I decided to change careers and help others achieve their health, fitness, and lifestyle goals.
⁠
You can learn more about me and connect with me on my Instagram page and my page "
⁠
Stop by our Fort Saskatchewan clinic and say hi to Basit everyone! ⁠

In 2018, Hunter Platten unfortunately got injured and was anxious about the set-back it would cause to his 2019 season. So, this past summer, Hunter worked with Pat Toner and the staff at Pivotal Physiotherapy to rehab his sport injury. After working on both shoulders, both ankles, both achilles, calves, and groin injuries, he was able to take the field for the full season and contribute to a successful Alberta men’s and co-ed season. During the 2019 Canadian Championship, he was able to play all 10 games of the round robin including an exceptional playoff run of 6 games. During this time, he was also able to lead the tournament in home runs.

He is a five-time provincial gold medalist, four-time Canadian championship medalist (1 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze), two-time co-ed World Series champion and member for the 2019 team Canadian border battle team.

“Without the help of Pivotal Physiotherapy there would be many accolades taken off the list, including Coed World Series finalist, and Provincial and Canadian medals for 2019. It would have been a stretch to come into 2019 thinking any of this would be possible without the help of Patrick Toner and the amazing staff at Pivotal Physiotherapy” – Hunter Platten

• Canadian Championship Silver Medalist
• Canadian Championship homerun leader
• Coed World Series Runner Up
• Alberta Men’s Provincial Gold Medalist
• 2019 Team Canada Athlete

We are thrilled to see Hunter recover from his injuries and watch him obtain many achievements this past summer!
