💪Exercise is Medicine!💪

Improving your physical activity is one of the most important and powerful things you can do to improve your health. It is also an important factor in healing from musculoskeletal injuries and/or pain.🏃‍♂️

Whether you have low back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, hip pain, wrist pain, post concussion symptoms or any other physical pain, increasing your level of physical activity will be part of the solution.

Evolution Physiotherapy has always embraced physical activity and was one of the first physiotherapy clinics in Ottawa to join the Exercise is Medicine initiative in 2011.💙💚

If your muscles start shaking mid-exercise, don’t panic! It’s a normal response to working hard.

Shaking often means:
🧠 Your brain is sending rapid-fire signals to your muscles to keep up with the demand.
🏋️‍♂️ Your muscles are fatiguing and struggling to stay stable.
💧 You may be dehydrated or low on electrolytes.

By challenging your body, you’re building strength and endurance. Over time, as your muscles adapt, the shaking will lessen.

👉 Tip: Stay hydrated, rest when needed, and maintain proper form.

If your stretches feel tight now, don’t worry. Flexibility isn’t instant. With consistent and controlled stretching, your muscles and nervous system gradually adapt, allowing you to move deeper and more freely.

Here’s why it works:
✅ Your muscles lengthen gradually with regular stretching.
✅ Your nervous system becomes more tolerant of the stretch over time.
✅ Your connective tissues loosen safely, improving range of motion.
✅ You reduce stiffness and move more comfortably day to day.

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we help you build sustainable habits, because flexibility isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about showing up regularly.

Fitness isn’t about fitting a certain look; it’s about how your body moves, feels, and performs.

Start measuring your progress based on:
✅ Feeling stronger in your workouts
✅ Having more energy and endurance
✅ Recovering faster
✅ Moving with less pain or stiffness
✅ Noticing daily tasks feel easier

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we celebrate progress that actually matters—the kind that improves your life, not just your reflection.

Strong looks different on everyone. Focus on how you feel.💪

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we’re not here to temporarily mask your pain—we’re here to help you understand it, treat it, and prevent it from coming back.

Because real healing takes time, consistency, and the right support—and that’s exactly what we provide.💪

If you know or suspect that poor sleep, stress, poor nutrition, reduced physical activity, or substance misuse might be something you’re struggling with, we encourage you to discuss this with all your healthcare professionals, including your family physician and your physiotherapist.

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we believe that moving from a reactive model (focused
solely on treating pain) to a proactive approach that equips our clients with the tools and knowledge to hopefully prevent recurrence, reduce condition deterioration, and maintain optimal health for as long as possible. We want to help you help yourself!

It’s time to evolve how MSK pain is treated. 💥

At Evolution Physiotherapy, we combine exercise, manual therapy, and lifestyle management to treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.

Sleep, stress, nutrition, and physical activity all play a role in long-term recovery and better outcomes.

That’s how we improve the success of your physiotherapy treatment.

Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) will improve the success of your physiotherapy treatment! ✅

For example, physiotherapists play a role in the management of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions using education, exercise, manual therapy, and other touch (pressure) therapies such as dry needling.

Recent research evidence continues to strongly recommend incorporating both exercise and manual therapy in the management of MSK pain.

Don’t Forget to Breathe!

Did you know your breath directly impacts your performance during a workout?

✅ Proper breathing helps fuel your muscles with oxygen, boosting energy and reducing fatigue.
✅ It assists in keeping your core stable and engaged, which helps protect your back and prevents injury.
✅ Controlled, deep breaths ease tension and stress, allowing you to stay present and perform at your best.

Did You Know?

Your shoulder is the most movable joint in your body!

This range of motion is a big advantage—but it also makes your shoulder more prone to instability and injury if its surrounding muscles aren’t strong or well-coordinated.

✅ Perform shoulder strengthening and stability exercises (like resistance band routines or scapular squeezes) to keep your shoulder strong and healthy. 💪
