😊 World Smile Day is a global celebration held annually on the first Friday of October, dedicated to spreading kindness and joy through the simple act of smiling.

🌟 Origin & Purpose
Created by Harvey Ball, the artist behind the iconic yellow smiley face in 1963. He felt the smiley had become too commercialized, so in 1999, he launched World Smile Day to bring back its original spirit of goodwill.

The motto? “Do an act of kindness. Help one person smile.”

💛 Why It Matters
A smile is universal—it crosses cultures, languages, and borders. The day encourages people to perform small acts of kindness, uplift others, and create ripple effects of positivity.

So whether it’s a grin, a giggle, or a full-on belly laugh—on World Smile Day, every smile counts. 😜☺️😅🤪🤣😀😁😆😍😉

💬 “I’m 98% pain-free thanks to Alex!”
After living with constant neck pain, one patient shares how working with Alex Ruth has been life-changing.

✨ Highly recommended by those she’s helped—Alex is a physiotherapist making a real difference.

🎥Posting another video from our practitioner series - meet Alex! We asked Alex what is at the heart of her approach to care and she said ‘at the heart of my physiotherapy practice is a commitment to listening deeply, so that every person has the opportunity to feel truly heard. I understand that pain is shaped by more than just the body, but influenced by each person’s unique life experiences. I strive to create an inclusive, trauma-informed space rooted in respect, using movement as medicine when appropriate to support healing, connection, and trust in the body.’ 😍🙌🏻. Watch to learn more from Alex about the people she works with.

🧠💪 Meet Rob – where movement meets mindfulness.
From film production to physiotherapy, Rob’s journey is anything but ordinary. After managing his own back pain through yoga and physio, he became deeply curious about the mind-body connection.

Rob brings a whole-person approach to care—blending education, manual therapy, neuromuscular exercise, and mindfulness to help you move better and feel more empowered. He’s not just a physiotherapist; he’s also a mindfulness facilitator with over a decade of experience facilitating mindfulness in the community and over five years supporting people with chronic illness.

💬 What are patients saying about Stephanie?

We love hearing and sharing how her compassionate care and thoughtful approach make a real difference.

Here’s one review that speaks volumes 👆🏼

🌟 Pelvic Floor Health is for Everyone.
Pelvic Health Rehabilitation is helping more people feel comfortable discussing bladder, bowel, and sexual health concerns with their care providers. While changes after pregnancy are common, they’re not something you have to accept as “normal.”
💡 Men can experience urinary incontinence, especially following prostate cancer surgery. Research shows that starting Pelvic Health Physiotherapy before surgery (pre-habilitation) leads to better recovery outcomes than starting after.
💡 Non-binary people also experience pelvic floor dysfunction and deserve access to inclusive, affirming care that supports their unique needs.
🧠 Your pelvic floor muscles are part of your core and play a vital role in back health. If you’re dealing with persistent low back or sacroiliac pain, it may be time to see a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist.
At Strive, our team works together to support your goals. Stephanie Gardonio, Physiotherapist, offers compassionate, evidence-based care for pelvic floor dysfunction.
📞 Not sure if Pelvic Health Rehab is right for you?
Book a free 10-minute phone consultation with Stephanie at 416-486-4776 or online through our “Ask a Physio” Q&A appointment.

🧠✨ Your mind is a powerful architect. If you don’t intentionally design your future, it will default to the blueprint of your past.
Let that sink in.
Every thought, every choice, every habit—either builds the life you want or reinforces the one you’ve outgrown. So today, choose vision over autopilot. Choose growth over comfort. Choose you.
📌 Save this as your daily reminder: You’re not stuck. You’re just one decision away from a new direction.
