🎉 Happy Birthday, Baneesha! 🎉

It’s hard to believe how far things have come.

From being THE most persistent internship student we’ve ever crossed paths with during the COVID years 😄, to helping out as a laser technician and giving us an early peek at her love for creating professionally detailed templates 😂📋, Baneesha has been part of the Advanced story for a long time.

Since then, she went on to become the VIU Valedictorian in 2022 🎓, complete UBC’s Northern Cohort MPT program, and ultimately return home to join the team as a physiotherapist.

Now, a year and a half into her journey back with the squad, it’s been amazing to watch her continue to find her groove—not only clinically, but culturally within the team as well. Her positivity, work ethic, and commitment to her patients make her an incredible clinician and teammate.

Baneesha, we’re incredibly proud of everything you’ve accomplished thus far and grateful that your persistence all those years ago eventually paid off 😊

Wishing you a fantastic birthday and an amazing year ahead filled with happiness, success, adventure, and plenty of reasons to celebrate! 🎂✨🎈

Happy Birthday from all of us on your team at Advanced! 💚

Patients smile when they walk in 👀

They feel at ease, like they’re in the right place.

And somewhere between sets and conversations… they start sharing more than just what hurts.

Those small moments? That’s the real win.

Because helping people move better is one thing…
but helping them feel seen, heard, and supported hits different.

That’s why we love what we do 🤝

Throwback Thursday.

Brandon … our resident Canadiens fan, Habs historian, and for many years, the only person in the clinic brave enough to publicly support Montreal.

We’ve spent plenty of years chirping him.

Tonight, however, the Habs are in the Eastern Conference Final and looking set to take Game 1.

We’ll be back to making fun of him soon enough.

But for now, a few of us have happily jumped on the bandwagon and are enjoying the ride as well.

Big congratulations to Dr. Josh Carless-Jones on completing his Complete Concussion Management Inc. (CCMI) certification 👏

At Advanced Health + Sports Clinic, we’ve worked alongside the CCMI system for years as part of our concussion management approach, and we’re excited to see Josh officially step into the CCMI lane at our Norwell clinic.

With his strong clinical background in chiropractic care, manual therapy, soft tissue treatment, exercise-based rehab, and athlete-focused care, we’re confident this certification will become a major asset in helping support:

🏒 Athletes
🚗 Motor vehicle accident patients
🧠 Individuals navigating concussion recovery and post-concussive symptoms

Concussion management works best when healthcare providers collaborate closely, and we’re proud to continue building a team-based model where physios and chiropractors work together to help patients recover safely and confidently.

Huge congrats, Josh — excited to see you put these skills to work 💪

This long weekend has us thinking ahead… ☀️🌊

Over the past few years, we’ve been building something special—not just in our clinics, but as a team.

We believe great care comes from people who keep learning 📚, keep pushing 📈, and take time to step outside the day-to-day together.

This summer, we’re excited to bring our team to for our 2026 Summer Summit 🌿🏫

A couple of days to:
• sharpen our craft 🧠
• share ideas 💬
• get outside 🚣‍♂️
• and enjoy some well-earned downtime together ☀️

It’s a small step in a bigger vision—building a team that grows together, supports each other, and genuinely enjoys the process.

We’re looking forward to it. 🙌

How does shockwave therapy actually help your tendon? 👀

Let’s zoom in a bit.

Your tendons are made up of cells called tenocytes. They’re responsible for keeping the tendon strong, organized, and able to handle load.

When you’ve been dealing with ongoing tendon pain, those cells don’t work as efficiently… things get a bit disorganized. 💡

That’s where shockwave can help.

It delivers mechanical energy into the tissue, which can stimulate those tendon cells, support collagen production, and improve how the area responds.

Think of it as a way to “wake things up.”

But here’s the key 👇
That’s only part of the process.

To really improve how your tendon handles load, you still need the right rehab and progressive strengthening. 💪

It’s the combination that creates long-term change.

ACL Upskilling // Session II of III

Big thanks to Cole for leading another awesome ACL-focused session this weekend, and to Ben & Brandon for helping behind the scenes as well.

Huge appreciation to our entire team for continuing to invest in themselves, their clinical growth, and ultimately the patients and communities we serve. Coming in on a Saturday morning isn’t something everyone is willing to do — but it’s pretty inspiring to watch this group continue pushing to improve, refine, and sharpen what we do.

Because the learning never stops.

Whether it’s manual therapy, pain science, strength & conditioning, technology integration, clinical reasoning, objective testing, or hands-on skill development… healthcare keeps evolving, and we believe our patients deserve clinicians who continue evolving with it.

Always sharpening the swords so our patients aren’t left behind.

Excited to wrap up the final session at month’s end.
Go team. 👊

How do we decide when to push… and when to hold back in rehab? 👀

It’s not guesswork.

We’re not just looking at how you feel in the session, we’re paying attention to how your body responds after. If symptoms settle quickly, we move forward. If they linger or spike, we adjust. 💡

We also look beyond pain. Strength, endurance, and how repeatable a movement is all matter. If you can only do it once, you’re probably not ready to level up yet.

Then there’s movement quality. If your body is compensating or “finding a way around it,” that’s our cue to clean things up before adding more load. 💪

And finally, everything comes back to your goal. Daily life, sport, performance… each one needs a different level of capacity.

Rehab isn’t about pushing through.
It’s about applying the right load at the right time.

That’s how you actually make progress.
