Seated clamshells are one of the most popular exercises prescribed by our clinicians.

This exercise is great for strengthening your legs, hips, glutes, and pelvis. Seated clamshells also help prevent injury and ease lower back tension by strengthening the core and lower back muscles.⁠
⁠
Let’s give it a try! ⁠
1️⃣ Sit in a chair with your back straight and knees at a 45-degree angle while keeping your feet shoulder distance apart. ⁠
2️⃣ Place a resistance band around both legs above the knee cap. ⁠
3️⃣ Push the knees out as far as you can, then bring the knees slowly back to the center of the body.

If you’re on your feet all day or want to improve your sports performance, strong ankles will help to prevent injuries and your knee and hip muscles from weakening.⁠
⁠
This following is great for strengthening your ankles.⁠
⁠
Sit on a flat surface and wrap or tie a resistance band around your right foot. Then place the band behind your left foot and pull with the desired amount of resistance. While keeping your knees slightly bent, gently point your toes towards your shin. Perform 10 reps, then switch feet.

Do you have a job that requires you to sit at a desk, behind a computer, all day? A lot of people sit (and stand) with a slouched posture, or rounded shoulders. Having rounded shoulders can cause strain and built up tension, particularly across the shoulders and upper neck.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The best way to prevent upper back and shoulder pain is to practice proper posture. Shoulder blade squeezes are a good exercise to build shoulder and upper limb stability and strengthen the muscles that keep our shoulders in proper alignment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While seated or standing, pull the shoulder blades towards each other without shrugging your shoulders up to your ears. Hold for two seconds and let go. Repeat 10 times. Perform these sets 3-4 times a day.

Your core muscles are some of the most important muscles in your body. A strong core helps prevent injuries, improves balance, stability and posture, eliminates back pain, boosts physical performance, and more!⁠
⁠
Most people focus on strengthening their abdominal muscles to improve core strength, but the low back muscles are just as important! If you have a stability ball, the low back extension on ball is a great exercise to strengthen those low back muscles.⁠
⁠
First make sure the ball is properly inflated. Then lie belly-side down on the ball, keeping your feet shoulder distance apart on the floor behind you. Place your arms either beside you, crossed on your chest, elbows bent while hands touching the side of your head, or arms straight ahead of you. Now, lift your upper body by engaging your low back and abdominal muscles. Slowly lower down to the starting position and repeat.

🚫 3 Hiking Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Adventure

1️⃣ Wrong Footwear & Clothing – Blisters, sore feet, and being too hot or cold can turn a fun hike into a miserable one. Choose proper hiking shoes & weather-appropriate layers.

2️⃣ Poor Body Mechanics – Bad posture, overstriding, or carrying yourself awkwardly can lead to aches and injuries. Move efficiently to protect your joints and muscles.

3️⃣ Backpack Blunders – An ill-fitting or overloaded pack strains your back and shoulders. Adjust straps, pack smart, and use hip support for comfort.

🏔 Hike smart so you can enjoy the view — not the pain!

🎒 Backpacking 101: How to Pick & Carry Like a Pro

🏔 1. Find the Right Fit:
Choose a backpack that matches your torso length & has adjustable straps for a snug, comfortable fit.

💪 2. Lift it Right:
Bend your knees, lift from hip level, and avoid twisting — protect that back!

⚖️ 3. Pack Smart:
Carry no more than 20–25% of your body weight. Keep heavier items close to your back for better balance.

🛠 4. Support Matters:
Look for padded shoulder straps, a sturdy hip belt, and chest straps to distribute weight evenly.

🚶‍♂️ The right backpack setup = less strain, more energy, and a smoother, more comfortable hike.

🦶 What are orthotics… and why do your feet love them?

Orthotics are custom inserts that go inside your shoes to support your arches, improve alignment, and reduce strain on your feet, knees, and even your back.

✨ How they help:
• Support your feet where they need it most
• Correct alignment & posture
• Reduce pain and prevent future injuries

👩‍⚕️ A physiotherapist can assess your gait, diagnose the root cause of your pain, and give you targeted exercises so you feel relief faster — and keep it that way.

💡 Don’t just live with foot pain — fix it from the ground up!

✅ Exercises to help:
• 🦶 Calf stretches
• 🧘‍♀️ Towel stretches
• 🏀 Rolling a ball under your foot
• 📏 Toe curls with a towel

👟 Footwear tips: Supportive shoes with cushioning + proper arch support are a must.
