The CrossFit Open is right around the corner — and now is the time to make sure your body is ready for it.

A pre-Open tune-up can help identify movement restrictions, manage small aches before they turn into injuries, and make sure you’re moving efficiently and confidently heading into each workout.

Many of our team will be on the floor competing throughout the Open — and cheering on our athletes, colleagues, and the entire CrossFit community along the way. 💪🔥

Whether you’re chasing the leaderboard or just showing up to give it your best, we’re here to support you.

Book a pre-Open tune-up before the CrossFit Open kicks off at the end of February.

🚫 PT Myth: Chewing gum is harmless for your jaw

Fact: Research shows that habitual and excessive gum chewing can place excessive load on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles of mastication (chewing muscles), which may contribute to headaches, jaw pain, muscle fatigue, trigger points, and TMJ dysfunction.

Moderation matters. And if you’re already experiencing jaw pain, clicking, popping, or locking, avoiding gum is recommended.

Chris Bergman, physiotherapist at Beaverbank Physiotherapy, has a special interest in temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) and takes an evidence-based, holistic approach to care. Chris combines education, manual therapy, motor control, and therapeutic exercise to help address contributing factors and restore comfortable jaw function.

If you’re dealing with jaw pain, headaches, or TMJ symptoms — and unsure where to start — physiotherapy may help.

We’re excited to be working with Bedford Skating Club, providing on-site physiotherapy and athletic therapy assessments to support their skaters throughout the season.

By bringing care directly to the club, athletes don’t need to leave training to get assessed — we’re coming to you.

Our therapists work closely with skaters and coaches to:
• Assess new and ongoing injuries
• Support injury prevention and movement efficiency
• Guide safe, confident return to skating
• Provide on-site care tailored to the demands of figure skating

Athletic Therapy plays a key role in supporting active athletes through injury assessment, rehab, reconditioning, and on-site care, helping skaters stay healthy and performing at their best.

We’re proud to support the Bedford Skating community and look forward to working with their athletes on and off the ice.

Did you know estrogen isn’t just about periods or fertility — it’s essential for your pelvic floor too?

When estrogen drops — during perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, or certain medical treatments — your pelvic floor muscles can become weaker, less elastic, and more prone to leaks, prolapse, or discomfort.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help:
✅ Strengthen depleted muscles
✅ Improve flexibility and comfort
✅ Manage symptoms so you feel confident and supported

At YKP, our pelvic health therapist Brittany Klingmann can guide you with evidence-based strategies tailored to your body and life stage.

Ready to feel like yourself again? Book a pelvic health assessment in Halifax or at Ironstone Strength & Conditioning. All sessions are in a private closed room and are one on one between you and your therapist.

🚫 PT Myth: Physiotherapy is only for treating injuries

Fact: Physiotherapy goes far beyond injury rehab. Physiotherapists can specialize in many areas of practice, supporting people across a wide range of conditions and stages of life.

Our team works with patients managing orthopaedic concerns, pelvic health conditions, vestibular and concussion symptoms, cardiorespiratory conditions, and chronic pain, among many others.

Lana Kelly (Crocker), physiotherapist at Beaverbank Physiotherapy, takes an evidence-based, patient-centred approach to care. She combines hands-on treatment, individualized exercise programs, and education to help patients better understand their condition and feel confident in their recovery.

If you’re dealing with pain, dysfunction, or ongoing symptoms — and unsure where to start — physiotherapy may help.

And just like that, 2025 comes to a close.

This past year was filled with progress, teamwork, and the privilege of supporting our patients and community through every stage of recovery and movement.

From first assessments to meaningful milestones, we’re grateful for the trust placed in our Beaverbank and Young Kempt Physiotherapy teams.

As we look ahead, our focus remains the same — providing evidence-based, individualized care to help people move better, manage pain, and stay active at every stage of life.

Thank you to our patients, physicians, colleagues, and community for being part of our year. We look forward to continuing the work together in 2026.

Rotator cuff rehabilitation should be targeted, progressive, and measurable.

Our clinics use VALD ForceDecks and the ActivForce Dynamometer to support every stage of recovery with objective, real-time data.

📊 Evidence shows that progressive loading—especially of the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers—is key to restoring shoulder strength and function (Kuhn et al., 2016).

And with validated tools like the ActivForce Dynamometer, proven to be reliable and accurate for measuring shoulder muscle force (Karagiannopoulos et al., 2022), we can track your progress with confidence.

With these tools, we can:
✅ Track strength imbalances between external and internal rotators
✅ Monitor recovery benchmarks
✅ Guide return-to-activity decisions based on real data

By measuring strength, asymmetry, and movement quality, we design individualized rehab plans that ensure you’re not just improving — you’re getting stronger.

📊 No guesswork. Just measurable progress.
