It is National Kinesiology Week!
We are so pleased to have Kinesiologists on our team.
Our team is always excited to test and try new variations for our Spinal Decompression Table.
If you haven't heard of Spinal Decompression before, take a read!
Traditional and conventional rehab, which involves performing resistance exercises through a range of motion (i.e.weights, machines, Therabands), works only the fast twitch muscles. The fast twitch muscles will make you strong, but they will not change the structure or remove the underlying cause of the disc problem. They will help you carry your groceries better, while your spinal structure continues to degenerate and your body becomes sick. The spinal muscles that support the spinal curves and determine your posture and health are slow-twitch postural muscles. These muscles require isometric exercise to strengthen and restore postural health. Once the spine is sufficiently decompressed, head, shoulder, and hip weighting are essential parts of the corrective isometric exercise program designed to predictably restore optimal spinal and postural alignment, permanently!
Team training is something we regularly take part of. It is important to always review, practice and as well as learning new techniques.

Active lengthening is one of the main therapeutic interventions that aims to alleviate pain, improve spinal alignment, and enhance overall function by gently stretching and elongating the spine.
Benefits of Decompression and Lengthening for Scoliosis
Pain Relief: Decompression and lengthening can help alleviate pain associated with scoliosis by relieving pressure on compressed nerves and muscles.
Improved Mobility: By gradually stretching the spine, this therapy can enhance flexibility and range of motion, allowing individuals to move more freely and comfortably.
Correction of Spinal alignment: While not a cure for scoliosis, decompression and lengthening can help improve alignment and posture related to the spinal curvature.
Enhanced Quality of Life: By addressing pain and mobility issues, this therapy can significantly improve quality of life for individuals living with scoliosis, enabling them to engage in activities they enjoy and lead fulfilling lives.
Scoliosis is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, characterized by an abnormal curvature of the spine. While scoliosis can vary in severity and cause, it often leads to discomfort, pain, and limited mobility for those affected. Most notably, the scoliotic deviation has been associated with wedging of both vertebrae and discs, which is more susceptible to compression than a normal spine.

Each of the five senses collects information and sends it to your brain. This is how we can see, hear, taste, feel, and smell the world around us.
One of the senses we spend time on during concussion rehabilitation is sight. A concussion is a functional injury, not a structural one, meaning we need to improve, or rehabilitate the function of the eyes.
Would you like to learn more about how to evaluate, and treat concussions?
The brain is the body’s command center. This organ is responsible for every thought, feeling, and most of our actions. Here’s a quick breakdown of the different parts of our brain.

Vitamin D deficiency is the most common medical condition worldwide. Although the human body produces vitamin D in response to sun exposure, several recent studies have identified a surprisingly high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in healthy adults living in Canada and the United States causing mood changes, bone loss, muscle cramps and weakness, bone and joint pain (especially in the lower back), and fatigue. Additionally, it's important to highlight that the people who need vitamin D the most aren't getting enough through their diet. This provides limited protection against deficiency.
👉 Vitamin D3 shots are the best solution - delivered intramuscularly, assuring direct entry into the bloodstream, and rapid absorption.
This technique guarantees the quickest and most effective supply of Vitamin D, maximizing its impact. Most people experience instant benefits, while others notice improvements as early as the following day! 💉🌞
If you find yourself suffering from Vitamin D3 deficiency, a D3 injection is the fastest solution to help with the following:
- Stronger Bones and Teeth
- Enhanced Immune Function
- Reduced Hypertension Risk
- Lowered Obesity-Related Risks

Message to all students! If you're like our concussion therapist, Miles, and you're on the ice wearing skates regularly, try this foot exercise to help stretch your feet & toes! This is for those who wear cleats, skates or even tight constricting shoes. To stretch the intrinsic muscles of the foot, intertwine your fingers between your toes. This is recommended to complete while seated. Variation 1: - squeeze your toes into your fingers, then release - you want your toes to feel like their are moving closer together, then relaxing into the stretch from your fingers Variation 2: - keeping your toes intertwined with your fingers, pull your toes up then point them down - the hand that is holding your toes can gentle apply pressure to increase the stretch of the foot

GLAD Program. Exercise with Osteoarthritis! Core strength is one of the four themes of the program. Program restarts on March 14, 2023! Book your initial intake with us today to learn if you're a candidate for the program. #exercise #physicalexercise #osteoarthritis
GLAD Program restarts March 14, 2023. Core strenth, hip range of motion, leg strength and functional ability are the four concepts trained during this exercise program. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a very common disease. OA affects the whole joint, but more specifically it affects the articular cartilage (the cartilage covering the ends of bones). With OA this articular cartilage becomes thin and fragile. Currently, there is no known way of curing cartilage loss. Treatment is used to reduce symptoms and improve function of the joint. Learning about OA is part of the treatment. Special exercises can be done to relieve pain and boost joint function. When function improves, the next step is to get more active. Being physically active can help maintain weight loss and improve overall health. These things should be done as early as possible by people who have OA. Exercise has been shown to be the best treatment for people who have trouble with their OA. Exercise reduces pain and makes it easier for people to perform their daily activities. Being active can lead to lots of positive things like a strong heart and good overall health. It is easier to control your weight with exercise compared to without exercise. #physicalexercise #exercise #osteoarthritis
