💡 The physiology behind medical explained.

🧬 Deep tissue relaxation
- oxygen molecules from the blood cause bound (tight) muscle cells to unbind (relax)
- needles influence layers of muscle at a time

🧬 Isolated muscle treatment
- no muscle is too deep
- no muscle is too small given the pin-point architecture of the needle

🧬 Tissue healing
- increased circulation can mean better blood flow that supplies the necessary repair cells

🧬 Pain management
- gate control theory of pain (stronger stimuli from the needles lessen the brain from sensing pain from the injury)
- nervous system down-regulation through parasympathetic stimulation

Hitting the slopes after a 9-year hiatus taught me;
✨ nerves and fear are not the same thing
✨ the body can be resilient with preparation
✨ embracing the falls took me further than bracing for the falls
✨ the falls taught me more than the clean runs
✨ black diamonds aren’t as daunting as I thought
✨ surround yourself with the right people

Until next year ✌🏼

March 8 is International Women’s Day but this post couldn’t wait. 🥳

Let’s celebrate the women in our lives. Let’s support the women in our communities. But let’s make that impact on a deeper level.

The lived experience of a girl/woman will ALWAYS be different. So let that direct our next conversations at home, school, practice, business, etc.

March 8 may be International Women’s Day, but let’s celebrate and support women every day. 😊🔥💪🏼🙌🏼

The 6 weeks clearance post-partum is for delivery, not running.

The physical changes that happen during and after childbirth is unreal. But there are even more changes that have been happening to the body for at least the last 6 months of . Therefore getting back to running or physical activity should be systematic to help ensure no complications or setbacks.

Signs and symptoms that will require additional attention can include:
👉🏼 pelvic or low back pain
👉🏼 heaviness with walking or running
👉🏼 leakage with sneezing, coughing, or running

Giving the body time to heal is the first of a few steps. Strengthening and effective breath work are also necessary to get one ready.

So if you’re thinking of getting back to running this spring, or really anything physically challenging for you, now is a good time to start your rehab with me 🙋🏻‍♀️

You are right where you need be.

Saying “you’re good” means more than good form or words of motivation. It means I am confident in your skills. Confident in your recovery. Confident because you put in the work.

Getting back to a sport or physical job isn’t linear. There are good and bad days, wins and humbling moments. So the proof is in your work, your progression, your consistency and your patience to scale up and down when you had to.

It’s a process that requires it all because we are building more than strength. We are building resilience. 💪🏼🔥

So trust me when I say you’re good. If you made it this far with me, you are closer to discovering your true physical potential.

Lean in, trust the process and have the right people around you.

I felt unsure I’d get back into snowboarding after my first baby. Delivery complications had me thinking my back and hips wouldn’t be the same. So I went back to the books (6 months postpartum) to learn postpartum rehab courses to get myself where I wanted to be.

I felt like myself again on the slopes, but I played it safe. Stayed comfortable, sticking to what I knew. Minimal falls - perfect.

After my second baby, I knew I wanted to get better when I’d be back on the slopes. Better control and with more speed. But I’d need to get rid of old habits and there would be lots of falls (and I had my fair share that day).

The fear of falling is real. We avoid picking up a new sport or we stick to old habits because of it. But fear is relative to the unknown.

In rehab I deal with fear all the time; post-injury, post-surgery, return to sport/work, etc. But knowledge can trump fear.

My job isn’t to fix you. It’s to help you learn, understand and experience your body’s potential.

So, if you lean in, trust the process and have the right people around you, you can do pretty awesome things. 😊🙌🏼

It’s always more than just a workout. After seeing patients come back from surgery, fractures, chronic pain, you name it.. we will find a way.

I always do 🙏🏼

Taping is temporary, but it sure can influence your performance with the right technique! That’s why I’ve found it particularly useful both on the sidelines and with returning to a sport after in-clinic sessions.

This tape job is to support the medical collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee. Depending on the amount of stability needed, we can customize it with specific tape types and techniques.

While the goal is to never need the tape, it plays a pivotal role with stabilizing joints until the body is strong enough to no longer need it.

Sometimes it’s hard to see the finish line, but keep at it. The change you want for yourself doesn’t happen with every PR. It happens every time you show up, with every rep. 👏🏼🙌🏼

Let’s just say I consider it one of my soft skills 😌

From student athletes to active young professionals, it always amazes me how zoned in and intuitive they are with their health. I’m happy to see more young patients coming through our doors, not because they’re hurt but because they are proactive and resilient. 🔥🔥🔥

2023 was a hard year, but I’m super grateful because it brought you 👶🏻🙏🏼 ...

Ever done a plank exercise and wondered, “Hey, this ain’t too bad at all!” If that’s the case, your body is probably cheating. 😝 That’s ok though, we’ve all been there!

But when done correctly, some benefits include:
✔️ Better muscle endurance to help our seated posture for our necks and backs;
✔️ Improved core muscle function;
✔️ Improved breathing mechanics;
✔️ Improved shoulder mechanics.

So if you experience pain in the above areas, check that your plank form is on point with the following cues:
✔️ Head, shoulders and hips are all level;
✔️ Shoulders are kept back and away (No shrugging!);
✔️ Abdominal muscles are engaged by slightly tucking in your tailbone;
✔️ Glute muscles are tight.

Give these corrections a try during your next workout and let me know how it goes!
