Patient feature: Carlo Raponi.
Snowboarder, photographer, Dad, Graffiti artist, business owner ( anyone?) and general lover of adventure - amongst many other things.
With all my patients, I am grateful for their trust in me for helping them getting back to doing what they love. Snowboarding is something that really matters to Carlo, and especially as it is seasonal, he sought out some help - and snowboarding wasn’t the only thing being affected by his ‘whiplash’.
Understanding your patients pain and problem is one thing, understanding how it affects them is just as important.
After that the treatment plan falls into place: in this case complete explanation, some advice, hands on treatment with feedback throughout; and exercises.
Now I am stoked to see what he can do feeling back to his best.

I’ll just be way over here. Non merci.
Nocebo: a detrimental effect on health produced by psychological or psychosomatic factors such as negative effects on treatment and outcome.
Would you agree that Instagram is a poor place to go to get positive, meaningful changes on health outcome? Or would you disagree? This is coming from somebody who is passionate about providing empowering, clear cut, meaningful messages of positive change. At the same time I am pretty confident Instagram is not a great place to go to get those messages, and in fact people are more into selling you something.
In fairness I believe instagram can be a good place to start a conversation, plant some seeds of positivity, and perhaps trigger some provoking thoughts.
There are some great honest health based accounts out there. I see you, and you rock my world. There are some pure crap ones out there, you do not rock my world.
Disclaimer: I do not think I am ‘the greatest’ like Muhammad Ali, but he is an awesome example of dodging some crazy crap throughout his life.

Pretty much - but I think there’s more to it, you?
In a research based world yes, all the different running shoe styles do not tend to change much at all when it comes to pain modification, and pain prevention.
When it comes to comfort, I believe there is some importance. This is highly SUBJECTIVE, and there is no set algorithm to go by. I think in a clinical setting you can make some suggestions but not prioritize footwear for pain issues.
I love my zero drop light weight New Balance shoes for their comfort. As you can see in the picture though they have worn away with years of kind abuse. Now it’s time to either get new ones, or something else, any suggestions?

3 THINGS.
Give me 3 things that are stopping you from doing what you want to do. No judgement. No right or wrong answer. No hesitation. Just say it.
Me first in the comments below.
Bit supportive love, Gary and the Trail Physio crew.

... or any other anatomy that may lie in your nether regions.

▪️How is it that we check out... literally every other part of our body but feel some sort of shame or inadequacy when we look into a mirror at our junk? 🤷🏼‍♀️

▪️There are so many reasons you should look at ALL of you, but one is ... if you’ve never seen it before, how do you know if something has changed? 🧐

▪️Your mission for today is to squat over a mirror. Get acquainted with your or****ic friend and it’s neighbours. 🍑

〰️It’s all about health. Inside, outside and upside down.〰️

And we remain as sensible as ever with our pre screening, cleaning and sanitizing, and have 15 minute gaps between all patients. There is also only one day of the week when we are both seeing patients in person at the same time, and that only tends to be for a couple hours as .physio has been so successful with her virtual sessions. Add the fact we have both had our first jabs, we are doing our best for you. Any issues just get in touch.

That shines through for you when you need them most.
In our world, and especially in healthcare, women are strong, determined people that strive everyday, 100%, to make your life better.
It has been said that life is about others, and women are always there to help each other, stand up for each other, to stand up for others, and stand up for themselves when no one else will.
We are so very blessed to have had so many awesome women around the World, and here in Millbrook too. Let’s be the light for each other.

I’ve had this question a lot and the answer is a little more than just “googling it”- though that’s a good start.

Posted • “How do I find a pelvic health physiotherapist in my area?”⁣

Yes, you can “google it” (pelvic health/ pelvic floor physiotherapy/physical therapy- your town), you could also try these resources:⁣

➡️Pelvic Health Solutions ⁣
➡️College of Physiotherapists of Ontario or the regulating body in your area⁣
➡️APTA (if you’re in the US) ⁣
➡️Pelvic Guru⁣

HOWEVER, we believe it’s more than just locating someone, but that they’re a great personal fit for you, especially if you have a lot of options. ⁣

In pelvic physio specifically - it’s really important that you’re working with someone where the communication, comfort and personal vibe are all working well between you both. ⁣

If you’re seeing someone who you don’t have a great fit with, it could be harder to bring up sensitive topics specific to pelvic health, and you might even struggle with understanding education pieces, buying into what they’re saying or compliance of your exercise program. ⁣

Here’s your formula for finding that special someone👇🏼⁣

FIRST ⁣
- search the available physiotherapists in your area⁣

SECOND⁣
- get to know them a bit, their skills / specialties and their clinic model (website, an online bio, their instagram page.. etc) ⁣

THIRD ⁣
- look into virtual options if you didn’t find what you were looking for at home ⁣

Some of us say “butthole” on the regular. ⁣
Some of us have a more delicate approach. ⁣
Some of us use a lot of detailed anatomical terms. ⁣
Some of us quote literature constantly.⁣
Some of us have kids, some don’t.⁣

There are more than enough amazing pelvic physiotherapists out there, and a very high chance that you’ll be able to find someone who you vibe with. ⁣

✨We’ve got your back (and your front) and are here to help.✨

First day off since around the 28th of December 2019.
Let me clarify - first ‘voluntary’ day off. There have been plenty of involuntary days off and the odd stat holiday. Ya know?
The pressure of working in healthcare care is real. The pressure of not being able to work in healthcare, brings its own pressure.
This was yesterday (Friyay). I hope you have had your voluntary day off.
Big love from Trail Physio.
