Is been a busy couple weeks.

Thank you to the Nanaimo Hornets Men’s and Women’s teams for the season. We have other rugby events through the summer so I’ll see you there too.
And now to the Nanaimo Timbermen Senior A team for their short but intense season.

So my family get excited when they get a new fantasy or mystery novel in the mail, I’m excited for this:

Updates:

The rugby season has come to an end and I’ll soon be working with the Timbermen Senior A doing their sports med.

And I’m happy to say I’m in clinic again. I’m working at Oceanside physio in Parksville. The drive has been pretty good and the clinic has everything I need.

My jokes are the same but they are new there!

I’m there Mondays and Wednesdays and then Mon through Weds starting after the May long.

Have a great week.

Good morning everyone!
I’ve been working on this for a little while and I’m pleased to announce it.
Starting today I am providing electrically grounded physiotherapy.
Wrapping a client in copper coils in a balance of clockwise and counter clockwise wrapping I will tune a person’s conductivity and optimize their connections. This includes a ground plate too. The added benefit is the weight of the copper increases strength and endurance.
I can’t wait to pass on these electrifying results.

I had the privilege of speaking to a group of island sports organizations this afternoon.
They were hosted by Pacific Sport Vancouver Island. I talked about my work with the Nanaimo Hornets Rugby Club and the importance of having good on-field care and coach-physio engagement for player health.
I met an incredible young lady who is off to compete at the BC games next week and is the Safe Sport ambassador, and David Hill of the Canadian Sport Institue Pacific. They were great speakers and tough acts to follow.
Thank you Liam, Hywel, and Michele pf PSVI for having me.

Follow my page, I promise I won’t inundate you with constant posts

It’s always important to update certain skills. For example, after my trip through BC Children’s hospital I updated my Sport First Responder.
For a long time people have been taught to do CPR compressions to the beat of ‘Stayin Alive’ by the Bee Gees.
Most recently the protocol has changed to be a bit quicker and goes to a newer, faster beat.
My rugby club members with the Nanaimo Hornets will understand how much entertainment I had learning the new pace as it is to Chappell Roan’s ‘Pink Pony Club’!
