When holding a plank, it’s easy to let your hips sag or arch your back, but keeping your spine straight is key to getting the most out of the exercise.

Maintaining a neutral spine engages your core muscles properly, reduces strain on your lower back, and helps build better posture and stability.

Think of it as creating one long line from your head to your heels. Engage your abs, squeeze your glutes, and keep your shoulders stacked over your wrists.

✅ Keep your body in line
✅ Engage your core
✅ Protect your spine

Ever stand up after sitting for a while with a sore back or stiff legs? That’s your muscles and joints reminding you they’ve been still for a bit too long.

Taking just a few seconds to stretch before standing—like gently straightening and bending your knees or flexing your ankles—helps get blood flowing, loosens up tight muscles, and prepares your body to move comfortably.

Your back works hard every day supporting your posture, stabilizing movement, and protecting your spine. Taking time to stretch it out can help keep it strong, flexible, and pain-free.

Stretching your back helps:
✅ Relieve built-up tension in the spine and surrounding muscles
✅ Improve mobility and range of motion
✅ Boost circulation to promote recovery and reduce stiffness
✅ Support better posture and alignment

One simple exercise you can try: stand tall, raise your arms over your head, interlace your fingers, and reach upward. Feel your spine gently stretch as you breathe deeply.

Whether you sit for long hours, lift regularly, or just want to move more comfortably, adding gentle back stretches to your routine can make a noticeable difference.

When lifting heavy objects, whether it’s a box, a bag of groceries, or weights at the gym, bending your knees and using your legs is key to avoiding injury.

Your legs have some of the largest and strongest muscles in your body, designed to handle heavy loads. When you lift with your back instead, you place unnecessary strain on your spine and surrounding muscles, which can lead to pain or even long-term damage.

Keep the object close, engage your core, and let your legs do the work.

Small adjustments in form can make a big difference in protecting your back and keeping your body strong. 💪

Feeling tired more often than you’d like? Regular exercise can actually help increase your overall energy levels.

By improving heart and lung function, boosting circulation, and helping your cells produce energy more efficiently, exercise trains your body to use energy better throughout the day. It also reduces stress and promotes better sleep—key factors in feeling refreshed and alert.

Move consistently, and your body will reward you with more lasting energy in your daily life. 💪

Movement is the best medicine for your joints. 💪

Today is World Mental Health Day. Remember that taking care of your mental well-being is just as important as taking care of your physical health.

Exercise plays a powerful role in supporting mental wellness. It releases endorphins, reduces stress, improves sleep, and can even boost your confidence and focus. Consistent movement helps calm the mind and strengthen your resilience, one workout at a time.

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we believe that movement is medicine for both the body and mind. Whether it’s a walk, a stretch, or a guided exercise program, finding ways to move regularly can make a real difference in your mental health.

Let’s keep the conversation open, reduce the stigma, and prioritize both our physical and mental well-being. 💚

Flexibility isn’t just about touching your toes, it’s about helping your body move more freely, reducing the risk of injuries, and improving overall performance. When your muscles and joints are more flexible, everyday movements and workouts feel easier, and you recover faster.

By incorporating stretching and mobility work into your routine, you can enhance posture, increase range of motion, and even reduce tension and soreness. Flexibility is a key piece of the fitness puzzle that supports strength, balance, and overall well-being.

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we can guide you with the right stretches and mobility exercises tailored to your body, so you move better and perform at your best.

Pushing your limits is how you get stronger, but pushing too far can backfire. Overtraining happens when your body doesn’t get enough time to recover between workouts, and it can show up as constant fatigue, poor sleep, irritability, lingering soreness, or even frequent injuries.

Rest and recovery aren’t signs of weakness, they’re essential parts of building strength, stamina, and resilience. By balancing intensity with recovery, you’ll not only perform better but also protect your body long-term.

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we can help you find the right balance between training and rest, so you can keep progressing safely and effectively.

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we wear orange to honour Survivors, their families, and Indigenous communities.🧡 Beyond wearing orange, we encourage everyone to take time to reflect, learn, and acknowledge the lasting impacts of colonialism.

Honouring the truth is an important first step. To move further toward reconciliation, we invite you to explore Canada’s colonial history and the Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission: https://nctr.ca/publications-and-reports/reports/
