My name is Fil and I am a first year PT student at UofT on my first clinical placement. I am originally from Sudbury Ontario, completing my bachelor’s Degree from Laurentian University in Physical Health and Education with a specialization in Health Promotion. This is my first full time internship to kickstart my clinical experience in Physiotherapy and I am extremely excited.

I knew I wanted to pursue physiotherapy when I was graduating high school, and I had a fascination with sports and fitness. Growing up, I was always playing hockey and started playing tennis, squash, badminton, and pickleball in my late teens. This showed me that injuries are just a part of life, and I am passionate in being able to help people prevent and rehabilitate their injuries and optimize their performance.

Welcome to The CSRM, Fil!

A “Centre for Sport” Christmas Eve

’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the clinic,
Not a foam roller rolled, not a band stretch-specific.
The kettlebells rested, the tape rolls were neat,
While visions of ice packs danced under each seat.

The treadmills were silent, no patients in sight,
The squat rack stood empty, its weights tucked in tight.
Jason in his office, with forms in a stack,
Had just wrapped the year up with a loud “CRACK!”

When out in reception there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the physio bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the front desk I hobbled in stride,
Careful not to pull a hamstring on the side.

The moon on the tape rolls and BOSU balls aglow,
Gave the luster of sweatbands to objects below.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a patient on crutches and holiday cheer!

He hobbled and grinned, his gait full of flair,
I knew in a moment it was St. Repair!
More rapid than sprints, his jokes, they just came,
And he whistled and shouted, calling physios by name:

“Now Tuan! Now Jason! Now rehab sensation!
On needling! On stretching! On ankle rotation!
To the top of the stairs, to the balance board’s call,
Now dash away, dash away, don’t slip and fall!”

As wobble boards shake when stability’s tried,
He laughed as he balanced, with foam rollers nearby.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the mat,
The unmistakable sound of a stretch-band snap!

He spoke not a word but went straight to his work,
Taping an ankle with a confident smirk.
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
He nodded and said, “Keep those glutes in their pose!”

He sprang to his crutches, to his sleigh gave a whistle,
And away he zoomed faster than a soft-tissue missile.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
“Happy healing to all, and to all a pain-free night!”

Whether it’s helping athletes back after an injury or providing regular maintenance to keep them competing at a high level within their sport.

Accessing mental health care
Today’s target is 160 push-ups, for the 1.6 million Canadians who have an unmet need for mental health care.
In addition, one in two people in Canada have experienced a delay in accessing mental health services, or know someone who has. These numbers highlight the need for more resources and support in the mental health space, to allow all Canadians to receive the mental health support they need.
The Mental Health Commission of Canada has created a strategic plan for
2021-2031, which outlines some key objectives, including:
* Achieve mental and physical health equity by uplifting the strong stakeholder community and amplifying the voices of lived and living experience.
* Create an inclusive and discrimination free Canada, where recovery from mental illness is not just possible - it’s expected.
* • Influence governments and
* organizations to put mental health at the top of the agenda.
* If you or someone in your life are experiencing unmet mental health needs, this can be a difficult and distressing time. If the cost of mental health care is preventing you from receiving the care you need, remember alternative options are always available. Community organizations like the Canadian Mental Health Association can offer free information, resources and in some cases, support. Find your local CHA branch at https://cmha.ca/find-help/ find-cmha-in-your-area/
* If you are in crisis, please call or text
* 9-8-8, toll-free 24 / 7, English or French

Journaling
Today’s target is 153 push-ups, because journaling for just 15 minutes, three days a week can significantly improve your mental health.
A study conducted on people with heightened anxiety symptoms showed that journaling for this short time weekly does big things. Why? Spending this time logging thoughts was associated with reduced anxiety and mental distress. It also can lead to improved levels of resilience. Getting thoughts down on paper has been shown to be especially effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD.
Journaling is successful in improving our general mental health, as it can assist in bringing awareness to our feelings and experiences, which can help us to rationalise and regulate our emotions. It has also been shown to reduce stress and anxiety by providing an outlet for intrusive thoughts.
Over time, consistent journaling allows us to identify stressors or triggers in our lives and can assist us to know ourselves on a deeper level. Journaling is also a great opportunity for positive self-talk and affirmations.
If you want to try it, journal in a way that suits you. Research indicates that putting pen to paper, old-school style, can aid in processing our feelings better than via a screen, but there are many journaling apps available for a more convenient option. Journaling is most effective when it feels natural to you.
There are no rules when it comes to journaling. You can write about your goals, what you’re grateful for, what’s causing you stress, to-do lists, thoughts and feelings or just a general reflection of each day. Why not give it a shot today?
