World Championship Performance!

The distance? A mere 200 m sprint. . .

It was over before it began. I am on the right side, seat 7- engine room power stroke. . . one of the only females in this section of the boat. . . speaks volumes with the amount of training needed to fill in this spot.

What did it take to get to this moment?

Three years of dedication, training, and perseverance.

Everything I had. . . was in this moment.

Perfection never felt so great!!

The key to success??

A never quit attitude, being moldable and coachable. . .

To take criticism in stride as a way to become better, more powerful, more efficient. . .

Daily strength training, nutritional dosing . . . and a healthy mindset.

Being a Physical Therapist helps with injury prevention. . . biomechanics and ergonomics.

Injury free and world level performances from everyone in this boat!!

I was in all but one race at the world championships- so proud of my team, coaches, steers and drummers that helped us get the medals we worked so hard to attain!!

Canada Proud!!

Para PD2 Gold Medal Champions!!

Health and Wellness. . .

What does that mean to you????

Any thoughts?

As I near the big 5-0, health and wellness begins with gratitude. Taking the time to be thankful for the small things in life. . .

Healthy family . . . .

A strong body. . .

And mental tenacity. . .

Lastly, a great diet and when I cannot get what I need, I supplement with the right vitamins and minerals that keep my energy levels up and maintain my joint health.

Collagen for my joints. . .

Multivitamins that keep my iron and Vitamin B complex topped up

Plus, a simple skin care regime that keeps me looking great!!

Due to my health and wellness, I am able to celebrate Canada Day with my son - with minimal aches and pains, zero makeup (I prefer it that way), and a mindset that keeps me going strong. . .

FRUSTRATING!!!

In the gym, I spoke with a gentleman who is a Veteran. . . he spoke of a local Physiotherapy provider who prescribes "cookie cutter" PT.

What does this mean?

Well, it means that with a certain body part, based on a given non-specific diagnosis, the same prescription for exercise is given. . . regardless of the person's unique circumstances.

For this gentleman, he was prescribed exercises that, in his opinion, he could have done in the gym himself. . turns out, he had a friend with a different type of injury involving the same body part AND THE SAME EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION WAS GIVEN!!!

As a Physiotherapist, this makes me upset.

Why? You may ask?

My answer - NOT EVERYONE'S THE SAME!!

What works for one person, may not work for another!!

What one person loves doing, may not work for another person!!!

Why do PT's have to succumb to these "cookie cutter" treatments?

People are unique, and everyone has a different story and background!

If you are searching for a Physiotherapist who takes your unique goals, social history, and objectives into mind to create the individualized care you deserve, check me out!!

I work from home, in a home based environment, to ensure that you have my undivided attention.

I prescribe individual exercises, perform thorough assessments and help you identify YOUR unique goals related to your needs. I also answer any specific questions you may have in terms you can understand.

This is my crew. . .

This photo popped up on my timeline as a part of my history on this earth serving in the Canadian Armed Forces . . .

Surrounded by my clinical team and trusted colleagues, we worked together in the service industry within the Canadian Armed Forces. .

From Dentists, Physiotherapists, Lab Technicians, HR Managers, Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, and Firefighters- we had our troops best interests in mind.

In a way, I kinda' miss those days. . .

Being part of a multidisciplinary team. What a wealth of knowledge, expertise and power we had in providing quality care for our troops.

Still here to provide the best care I can to the public. .

Transitions into civilian life have been filled with it's share of ups and downs. . .

But I learn, I persevere, and I do not give up.

Here to support you in attaining your unique goals and objectives.

What is Cupping Therapy?????

The history of cupping as a treatment for various ailments stretches back thousands of years to ancient times. Over the centuries, cupping techniques and styles have evolved, influenced by their geographic location, as well as available materials. Cattle horns, bronze cups and bamboo have all been used at various times and places in history.

Today, practitioners typically use plastic, silicon or glass cups with a vacuum seal to influence the myofascial tissue physiology.

Permitted Cupping Techniques in Ontario

In Ontario physiotherapists should only use techniques such as dry cupping and oil cupping.

Dry cupping: Cups are applied to skin using suction.

Oil cupping: Oil or lotion is applied to skin before applying the suction cup, allowing it to move along the tissue.

Physiotherapists must be sure these techniques are used within their scope of practice.

The treatment must safely and competently address the physiotherapy diagnosis and treatment goals that have been set for the patient.

At Three Holistic Health, Physiotherapy and Wellness, I am rostered to perform oil and dry cupping as part of your treatment plan. When required, this is an adjunct to your plan of care to get you where you need to be in your stated goals and objectives.

Here is a bit about me. .

I am a Physical Therapist- yes, I know A LOT about bones, muscles and joints. . . BUT did you know that I served a 21 year career in the Canadian Armed Forces? Primarily as a Combat Arms NCM and secondarily as a Physical Therapy Medical Officer?

Sustaining injuries over the years, some of them traumatic, I thought I would never be able to restore the quality of life that I would once again enjoy. Plagued with inflammation, chronic pain, neurological weakness, anxiety, disability, and an overwhelming sense of defeat, I never thought that I could get a semblance of my "old life" back. . .

With the help of a multidisciplinary team, I was able to put aside my ego and ask for help.

That was my first step toward greatness. . . 🥰

Over the course of a couple of years (yes, progress is slow, but one step forward is better than three steps backward), I was able to restore a lot of my quality of life . .

Need a Physical Therapist who knows what it is like to struggle with chronic pain, anxiety, and disability? Who knows what it takes to commit to change? To help motivate and push you to attaining improved mobility and functional independence?

If so, click the "BOOK NOW" button at the top of my page. Together, we can get you moving toward your goals. . .

If I do not have the answers, I certainly know where to seek the answers you are looking for. I work within a multidisciplinary team utilizing evidence-based tools to get you moving toward your stated goals.

IF YOU are ready to change with actionable steps toward greatness, reach out and book an initial consultation!!

Serving the community of St. Thomas, I offer a unique blend of experience, expertise, and first hand knowledge to get you moving to promote independence!

What is the Vagus Nerve?

Your vagus nerve connects from the bottom of your brain stem to many of your internal organs (including your gut), and a growing body of research suggests that through vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), you may be able to improve a number of ailments and diseases.

If you’ve been struggling with anxiety, low mood, migraines, elevated heart rate, or slow digestion, it’s possibly time for a vagus nerve reset.

Boosting low vagal tone can also help a number of medical conditions such as epilepsy, high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and prevent early mortality.

There are several low-cost, low-barrier-to-entry treatments for a vagus nerve reset that are safe and effective for many conditions that are tied to vagus nerve dysfunction. Lifestyle interventions like gentle exercise, a nutrient-dense diet, and a meditation practice can go a long way in helping reset the vagus nerve.

Gate Control Theory of Pain

What is this?

And how can I use this knowledge to ease the pain I have from my chronic injury??

Firstly, the Gate Control Theory of pain is simple. . . the brain senses pain from pain receptors at a site where an injury has occurred. Or, in the case of chronic regional pain syndrome, across various points in your body.

The brain, in response to the pain felt, places the body in a heightened awareness state. . . sometimes needlessly as the threat of harm is long gone, as seen in the case of a chronic pain state. This leaves a person hyper vigilant and in a heightened stressful state. Not good for you as the release of cortisol (stress hormone) wreaks havoc with your body.

In short, the gate control theory of pain asserts that non-painful input closes the nerve "gates" to painful sensory input, which prevents pain sensation from traveling to the central nervous system (the brain), thereby tricking the brain to stop feeling the pain at its original source.

Secondly, how can I use this information to ease the constant or even intermittent pain that I am currently feeling?

Glad you asked!!

One method I use is distraction therapy. As a way to introduce a non-painful sensory input away from the original source of pain, I use various methods. . . from Neuro-Muscular Electronic Stimulation, TENS, and topical adjuncts. There are ways to use the gate control theory of pain to your advantage.

There are even sneaky little ways to release endorphins in the body to mask the effects of pain. . .
