Salt air never gets old 😌

This morning’s run, that I had to manually record because I forgot to hit start, was my 1000th activity that I’ve recorded on Strava.

And I’m really proud of that 😎🤩.

I need YOUR help!

I’m thinking of updating my running playlist, as I’m beginning to run again, after the holidays, this week or next.

Comment below your favorite high energy song - any genre is welcome! It’s just gotta motivate me to move my b***y 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

So the has come and gone and I’m just now watching the presentations about all of the populations Kinesiologists can help through good, evidence based exercise programs. The presentations, so far, are informative and exciting!

As I’m watching I realize that I’m just becoming more and more saddened by our current healthcare system and the lack of credibility (coming from other heath care professionals) regarding the Kinesiology profession in NL and the Atlantic provinces in Canada.

I’ve been told that other professionals are advised to not use Kinesiologists in their practices because we’re not trained or educated well enough. There are people in every profession who are amazing at their jobs and do loads of courses, stay on top of current research, etc. and there are the others who simply are not great their jobs. So to imply that all Kins aren’t capable of doing well at their job is untrue.

I’m saddened because I believe in exercise, it is the best medicine and yet no doctors are prescribing it, it’s being skimmed over after surgeries or, even worse, completely skipped. As a patient who had a major abdominal surgery to deliver my son, I was helped out of bed by a nurse and given no other instruction whatsoever. Thankfully I had my education, extra courses, and my years of in-clinic experience to help rehabilitate myself after pregnancy and my c-section.

I’m saddened because pregnant women aren’t getting the support they need and deserve, cancer patients, cardiology patients, and SO many more people with chronic disease and mental health problems aren’t getting the best treatment they could, which needs to include exercise.

Kinesiologists would not only benefit patients by improve outcomes and quality of life, but would ultimately lead to less expenses by the healthcare system overall. There is a place for Kinesiologists in the healthcare system.

I am beyond proud of myself and our little group for completing this run! Also, very thankful for a couple special cheerleaders who came out to support us 💞.

This was my first 5k run since January 17, 2022 LOL. And, my fourth run since April of this year. I beat my pace goal, total time goal, I met my goal of running the full thing, and even managed to not get lapped by the 10k runners lol. I also lost at shot roulette… but it was rigged.

My mental is so much better than it’s been with regard to health and fitness and I’m grateful. It’s taken a lifetime. My mantra for this run was simple - run your own race.

And that I did 😎.

We’re 10 days away🤩 there’s space available!

Message me to join in on the fun! Can’t make it to every session? I’m sure we can work around that 😎

If you’ve been pregnant and feel disconnected from your core, or have pelvic floor issues this class is for you!

This class is a level one beginner class to re-acquaint you with your pelvic floor and core in a safe way. I plan to meet you at your starting point and progress at a rate that’s related to your needs but also your goals. There’s also the added benefit of getting out of the house for some social interaction 😄!

With only six spaces available you won’t want to delay in registering.

Call Lifestyle Physiotherapy at 256-4839 and ask to register for Kayla’s pelvic floor class. The class may even be covered by your private health insurance!

This Certified Kinesiologist is looking forward to putting her pre-/post-natal coaching certification to use.

After finishing maternity leave and being back to work for a little more than a month I’m excited to get to work on some projects that I’m pretty passionate about.

As you can see there’s been a bit of a change in background scenery - I’ve returned to my old stomping grounds, Lifestyle Physiotherapy!

I have the opportunity to bring some exercise classes to the clinic in the near future. The first one is going live for registration in a couple days 🤩. So stay tuned here and to Lifestyle Physiotherapy’s page for more details.

Just finished another course 🤓

You’re looking at a Kinesiologist who’s become more educated in gymnastics strength and conditioning 💪🏻🤸🏻

Can’t wait to get to work with some athletes!
