September is World Alzheimer’s Month—a time to honour the lives of those living with dementia and support the families who walk this journey with them.

Dementia often affects not only memory but also physical coordination, movement planning, and spatial awareness. These changes can increase the risk of falls, cause hesitation with walking, or make once-simple tasks feel overwhelming.

Physiotherapy plays a gentle, grounding role in dementia care. At Activate, we focus on:
Our physiotherapists use calming routines and cueing strategies to help reinforce movement patterns and reduce anxiety around mobility.

If you're a caregiver navigating the challenges of dementia, you are not alone. We collaborate with families every day to preserve dignity, safety, and connection through movement.

We also love sharing resources from the Alzheimer Society of BC and can guide you toward community programming in Surrey and White Rock.
Let’s keep moving, together.

We’re excited to spotlight Prab, one of our valued neurological physiotherapists here at Activate. 👨🏽‍⚕️

Prab brings a calm, confident presence to each session, with expertise in treating stroke and Parkinson’s disease. He’s completed advanced training in the PWR! Program—an evidence-based exercise approach for Parkinson’s rehab—and works extensively with our PD population.

But what many clients don’t know right away is that Prab is an avid golfer. His love for the sport often becomes a meaningful bridge in rehab, especially with clients who are fellow golfers. Whether it's discussing how trunk rotation influences swing power or how balance affects stability during putting, Prab connects therapy goals to real-life movements that matter.

We're grateful to have him on our team.

Ever feel off-balance while walking through the freezer aisle at Superstore? Or dizzy while scrolling your phone on a moving bus? You might be experiencing visual vertigo.

Visual vertigo happens when your brain struggles to process moving visual input—especially in busy environments. It’s common after concussion, vestibular disorders, or migraines.

Our vestibular team helps clients through:
- Gaze stabilization drills (like focusing on a target while moving your head)
- Visual motion exercises (yes, we’ll even simulate walking through Semiahmoo Mall!)
- Gradual desensitization to scrolling, screen use, and patterned floors

One client told us: “I can finally grocery shop without panicking.” That’s a win we celebrate.
Let us help you feel steady in a spinning world. 🌀

Chronic pain is complex—and exhausting. It often lingers long after tissues have healed, making people feel like their body has turned against them.

But pain isn’t always about damage. It’s about protection.
Think of it like a smoke alarm that keeps going off even after the fire is out. The nervous system becomes hypersensitive, interpreting normal signals as threats.
At Activate, we help clients:
Understand pain as a learned experience
Rebuild confidence through gentle, graded movement
Explore new patterns using mirror therapy, breathwork, and safe loading We’ve worked with people who couldn’t garden or walk their dog for years—until they learned how to dial down their nervous system’s sensitivity and move without fear.
Pain is real. But so is recovery. Let’s explore it together.

Topic: MS (Energy Conservation & Mobility Strategies)

Living with multiple sclerosis (MS) can feel like navigating a constantly shifting landscape. Some days your body listens, other days it refuses to cooperate. Fatigue, muscle weakness, and balance issues can all make daily tasks feel like climbing a hill. 🧠

At Activate, we work with clients to help manage these fluctuations with realistic, adaptable strategies. Here’s how physiotherapy supports MS:

Energy conservation techniques: pacing activities, rest planning, and postural awareness
Targeted strength training for muscle groups prone to deconditioning
Balance and gait retraining with or without assistive devices
Fatigue management education to reduce crashes and extend activity

One of our clients with relapsing-remitting MS shared that learning how to break household tasks into short, manageable segments gave her back a sense of control and independence—especially during flare-ups.
If you’re managing life with MS, we’re here to walk alongside you on the hard days and help celebrate the strong ones. 💙

Stroke recovery is about more than just rehab exercises—it's about finding your voice, your people, and your confidence again. 💙

That’s why community matters. Whether you're newly diagnosed or years into recovery, having support from those who "get it" can make a world of difference.

We’ve seen clients thrive after joining peer support groups, like the Surrey Stroke Recovery Group, where survivors meet weekly to share experiences, practice communication, and rebuild a sense of identity post-stroke.

In our own clinic, we've had clients form friendships and even exchange numbers to walk together outside of appointments. It's not uncommon to see two clients checking in for their sessions at the same time, grinning because they had lunch together the day before—or caregivers sitting side by side in the waiting room, offering each other encouragement and tips.

Whether it's two stroke survivors walking laps around the block or spouses trading ideas for home exercises, we’ve seen firsthand how meaningful those relationships can be.

Connection is therapy—and sometimes, it’s also companionship, accountability, and hope.

You're not alone on this journey. The road may be long, but you don’t have to walk it by yourself.

Have you or a loved one noticed more difficulty getting around lately? Mobility challenges are common with age—but that doesn’t mean they’re inevitable. 🌿

Falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalization among older adults in Canada. One in three adults over 65 will experience a fall each year, often leading to pain, decreased confidence, and loss of independence. But many of these falls are preventable.

At Activate, we take a proactive, neurological approach to aging well. Our physiotherapists work closely with older adults to:

● Improve balance and coordination through targeted exercises
● Increase strength in key stabilizing muscles
● Train safe transitions for getting up from the floor, from chairs, beds, and stairs
● Assess for appropriate gait aids (canes, walkers) and teach safe usage
● Simulate real-world scenarios to build confidence and prevent future falls

We also educate families and caregivers on how to support safe movement at home—including home setup, footwear, and assistive tools.
If you or a loved one are feeling hesitant on your feet, let’s talk. Early intervention can make the difference between fear and freedom. 💙

Ever rolled over in bed and suddenly felt the room spin? 😵‍♂️

You might be experiencing Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), a common vestibular condition caused by tiny crystals moving into the wrong part of your inner ear.

Though it can feel alarming, BPPV is very treatable.

At Activate, we use techniques like the Epley maneuver to gently reposition those crystals and restore your sense of balance. With just a few guided sessions, many people report a dramatic improvement in symptoms.
If you’ve been living with unexplained dizziness, it’s time to stop guessing and start feeling steady again. We’re here to help you get your footing back—literally.

Every person deserves the chance to move, explore, and thrive—whether they’re 3 or 83.
That’s where Prashanthi, one of our experienced neurological physiotherapists, comes in. 👩🏽‍⚕️

With over a decade of experience, she provides compassionate, personalized care to both children and adults navigating a range of neurological conditions.

Her work with children includes play-based therapy to support development in areas like strength, coordination, and mobility. But she’s equally passionate about helping adults recover from stroke, brain injury, and complex neurological diagnoses through hands-on techniques, evidence-informed planning, and plenty of encouragement.

Whether she’s celebrating a child’s first independent step or helping an adult regain balance and confidence, Prashanthi brings deep care and clinical insight to every session. We’re lucky to have her on our team—and so are our clients. 💙

Have you noticed that your steps are getting smaller? That you’re feeling stiffer or slower with movement?

For people with Parkinson’s disease, these changes are part of a condition called bradykinesia—slowness of movement. But movement is medicine, and there’s a strategy that helps: LSVT BIG.

The LSVT BIG program teaches people to move with exaggerated, large-amplitude movements. Think: BIG steps, BIG arm swings, BIG posture.

It may sound simple, but research shows these movements help rewire the brain to override Parkinsonian slowness. This can translate to better walking, improved balance, and greater confidence.

At Activate, we’ll work with you to build strength and retrain your brain through customized BIG movement strategies. It’s not about doing more—it’s about doing it with intention, purpose, and heart. 💙

After a stroke, one of the most unexpected challenges can be losing the ability to speak clearly. For those experiencing aphasia, even everyday conversations can become exhausting or frustrating. 🧠

While speech-language pathologists lead the charge on communication recovery, physiotherapists play a crucial supportive role. At Activate, we collaborate closely with SLPs to ensure that each person’s recovery plan is integrated and holistic.

How do we help?
Improving posture and breathing mechanics to support clearer vocal production
Addressing neck and trunk control, which influences voice and swallowing
Reducing tension that may affect facial muscles and oral control

Recovery doesn’t happen in silos—it happens through teamwork. If you or a loved one is navigating post-stroke rehabilitation, know that you don’t have to go it alone. We’re here to support the journey with care, coordination, and compassion.
