When you’re working out, your body loses fluids through sweat. If you don’t replace them, you risk fatigue, muscle cramps, dizziness, and slower recovery. Staying hydrated keeps your joints lubricated, regulates body temperature, and helps your muscles work at their best.

Even mild dehydration can affect strength, endurance, and focus. That’s why sipping water before, during, and after your workout is essential.💧

👉 Keep a water bottle close and make hydration part of your fitness routine. Your body will thank you with more energy and better results!

Warming up before exercise is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your body and get the most out of your workout. When you skip this step, your muscles, joints, and tendons are more vulnerable to injury because they aren’t properly prepared for movement.

A proper warm-up increases blood flow, raises your body temperature, and improves flexibility, which all help your muscles contract and relax more efficiently. It also gives your joints the mobility they need, reducing stiffness and making movements smoother. On top of that, warming up primes your nervous system, so your body responds faster and performs better once you start exercising.💥

By taking just a few minutes to warm up, you’re not only lowering your risk of strains and sprains, you’re also setting yourself up for better strength, stamina, and overall results.💪

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we can show you warm-up routines tailored to your body and your goals, so you can exercise safely and confidently.❤️

💡 Did you know that bruising after an injury is caused by tiny blood vessels under the skin breaking and leaking blood?

Most of the time, bruises are harmless and heal on their own. But if pain is limiting your movement, it’s a sign your body may need extra attention.

Our team at Evolution Physiotherapy will assess your injury, support your recovery, and help you move safely while healing. 💪

Many people believe in the old saying “no pain, no gain,” but that’s a myth.
👉 Pain is not a sign of progress. In fact, it’s your body’s way of warning you that something isn’t right.
👉 Real progress comes from proper form, consistent training, and protecting your joints and muscles.
👉 Discomfort from effort (like a muscle burn) is normal, but sharp or lingering pain is not.

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we’ll help you train smarter, not harder, so you can reach your goals while keeping your body safe. 💪

Your joints take on a lot of stress during exercise, and when movements aren’t done correctly, that pressure can add up over time. Poor form can lead to unnecessary strain, discomfort, or even injury.

That’s why proper technique is so important. By learning how to move with control and alignment, you can strengthen your body without putting excess stress on your joints.

✅ Our physiotherapists can work with you to assess your form, correct your technique, and build a safer, more effective workout routine. 💪

Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in Canada, but many of its risk factors are preventable.

Exercise is one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk. It can lower blood pressure, improve circulation, manage cholesterol levels, and support blood sugar control, all of which are essential for heart health.

You don’t need to be injured to see a physiotherapist. Our team can work with you to create a personalized exercise plan that fits your body, your goals, and your lifestyle. Whether you’re just getting started or looking for professional guidance to stay consistent, we’re here to support you.❤️💪

Strength training isn’t just about building muscle, it also helps boost your metabolism for hours after your workout ends.

This effect is known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). After strength training, your body works harder to restore oxygen levels, repair muscle tissue, and return to its resting state, all of which require energy.

By including strength training in your fitness routine, you support long-term fat burning and overall metabolic health.💪

Just because you’re injured doesn’t mean you have to stop moving. In fact, staying active (in a safe and supported way) will often help speed up recovery.

At our clinic, physiotherapists will work with you to modify your current workouts so you can keep training without putting more stress on the injured area. Whether it’s adjusting your form, reducing the load, changing the range of motion, or swapping in a movement that targets the same muscles more safely, there are always options.💪

If you’ve been sidelined by an injury and aren’t sure how to keep moving safely, reach out. We’re here to help you move pain-free!

Did You Know?

Poor posture can contribute to neck, shoulder, and back pain—even if you don’t notice it right away.

Over time, slouching or sitting in awkward positions can strain muscles and joints, leading to stiffness, headaches, and discomfort.🤕

Check in with your posture throughout the day and take standing or walking breaks every 30–60 minutes to prevent tension from building up.

Strength is the foundation of healthy movement.💪

Weight training isn’t just for building muscle, it’s essential for joint health, bone strength, and long-term resilience. Adding resistance training to your routine improves posture, boosts metabolism, and lowers your risk of injury.

For those recovering from injury, progressive strength training helps restore function and prevents the same issue from coming back. Strong muscles support your joints and keep your body moving better.

Regular physical activity doesn’t just make you stronger in the moment, it supports a longer and healthier life. Consistent exercise increases lifespan by lowering the risk of chronic diseases, improving heart and brain health, and boosting quality of life as you age.

Even moderate movement, like brisk walking or biking, can make a measurable difference. It’s never too late to start building habits that your future self will thank you for.💪❤️

💪Exercise is Medicine!💪

Improving your physical activity is one of the most important and powerful things you can do to improve your health. It is also an important factor in healing from musculoskeletal injuries and/or pain.🏃‍♂️

Whether you have low back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, hip pain, wrist pain, post concussion symptoms or any other physical pain, increasing your level of physical activity will be part of the solution.

Evolution Physiotherapy has always embraced physical activity and was one of the first physiotherapy clinics in Ottawa to join the Exercise is Medicine initiative in 2011.💙💚
