We’ve been sold the idea that pain = damage.
But we’re not that basic. 💁🏻‍♀️

Pain isn’t just from your tissues.
But it’s also not just “in your head”.

Pain is influenced by:
• What’s happening in your body🧘🏻‍♀️
• What’s happening in your brain 🧠
• What’s happening in your life 🤝

And what you’ve experienced in the past.

Which explains why you can feel pain with “nothing wrong” on imaging. Or why old injuries can flare up when life gets stressful.

It’s also why avoiding movement can sometimes make things worse.

Movement can be used as a tool to help your system calm down and feel safe again.

So you don’t need to be pain-free to start moving.
You just need to start with the right movements.

A Grassy Hut Weekend 🏔️🎿

Great way to round out the ski season - a trip filled with sketchy skinning, silly skiing, creek walking. All fueled by mini eggs, coffee, and laughter 💜

I always appreciate the kind words from my patients! 🌟

“I can’t recommend Taylor enough. She first helped me recover from a tailbone injury, and now she’s been incredible through my ankle fracture rehab (plus all the random aches that come with crutches).

What really stands out is how knowledgeable she is — she takes the time to actually explain what’s going on, answers all the questions you didn’t even get to ask elsewhere, and gives super helpful exercises that make a real difference.

She’s also just genuinely kind and easy to talk to, which makes a tough recovery process way more manageable. You never feel rushed, and you can tell she truly cares about getting you better.”

Proof that movement isn’t about being perfect, it’s about showing up (and occasionally eating snow) 🙃

Hey are you still doing your competition?? 😂

🗣️PSA: You don’t need to be pain-free to start moving.�You just need a starting point that feels manageable 👍

Pain isn’t an all-or-nothing signal—it’s something you can work with, not just wait out.
Small, consistent movement often beats doing nothing while waiting for “perfect”.

Start where you are. Adjust as needed. Build from there.

FAQ FRIDAY! 🤔

Q: Why does my pain keep coming back randomly?

A: It’s rarely random. Usually you do something that your body doesn’t have the capacity for in that moment.

Capacity is influenced by:
* Amount and intensity of activity (doing too much too fast)
* Poor sleep
* Increased stress
* Strength matching the demand of activity
* Assuming no pain = problem is fully solved

Chiropractic treatments (and any manual therapies) can help calm down flare ups and manage pain levels in order to get you back to movement faster, but it’s up to you to increase your body’s capacity to handle the demands of life for the long-term.

I can guide you with exercise and lifestyle interventions that will help decrease flare up intensity and frequency, but the long term solution will always be more strength, more sleep for more capacity.

About Dr. Cooksley

Dr. Taylor Cooksley, originally from Sherwood Park, is excited to be back in her home town after pursuing post-secondary education in both Calgary and Portland, Oregon. She grew up spending most of her time acting and dancing, and is formally trained in many dance genres. It was through her active lifestyle that she grew interested in human movement and mechanics. She went on to pursue a Bachelor of Kinesiology degree at The University of Calgary, then moved to Portland, Oregon where she completed both Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees at The University of Western States. While in chiropractic school, Dr. Cooksley was involved in many clubs, and even became one of the heads of the MPI club, running seminars and mentoring her peers. She also stayed close to her roots and took many seminars on sports rehabilitation to further understand how to use movement to diagnose and treat many conditions. She is also formally trained in Active Release Technique (ART), Smart Tools (a soft tissue technique similar to Graston), Clincial Neurodynamics, and Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) Exercise techniques.

Dr. Cooksley loves working with all patients, from new and expecting mothers and their children to elite athletes to the aging population. She understands that each patient is unique and deserves a unique and individualized treatment plan. No matter who you are, Dr. Cooksley wants to keep you moving so you can keep doing what you love.
