Director, Raj Suppiah, contributed to Massage Therapy Today on how Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, and Massage Therapists can collaborate to improve patient care.

He describes four steps that practice and clinic leaders can take to mentor clinicians:

1. Ensure that every new client receives a treatment plan. The plan should identify the patient’s concerns as well
as their goals, treatment frequency,
and recommendations.

2. Plans should have multiple options for patient care
i.e., physiotherapy, RMT, chiropractic, pelvic health, acupuncture.

3. Clinicians should receive mentorship and training together
to learn how each of their skill sets can benefit patients.

4. Treatment Plans and outcomes are audited regularly. Clinics should track outcomes and ensure that patients receive the necessary care.

A treatment plan is a plan for success! You can head to the link below to read the article and learn more.

Male Pelvic-Floor Health: What You Should Know 💡

Did you know the pelvic floor isn’t just a “women’s issue”?

Men’s (actually, all genders equally) pelvic-floor muscles play a huge role — for bladder and bowel control, sexual function, pain management & overall quality of life.

From an article in the New York Times, here’s what the latest trends are showing:

• Common problems include incontinence (leaks), urinary urgency, pelvic or ge***al pain, sometimes after prostate surgery — but also due to aging, chronic stress, posture issues, or overuse.

• Muscles can be too weak or too tight. Either imbalance causes trouble.

• Treatment works: physical therapy (including pelvic-floor exercises, stretching, breathing techniques), biofeedback, acupuncture, or other interventions.

• Knowing how to do both contraction (e.g. Kegels) and relaxation/lengthening (reverse Kegels, stretching) is key.

• The stigma & lack of awareness keep many men from getting diagnosed. But speaking up + seeing a specialist can really help.

Have you had an ergonomic assessment of your workstation yet? 🖥️💺

Bring your physio or chiro to YOUR workstation.

An ergonomic setup is more than just comfort—it can support your long-term health. A proper assessment can:

✅ Reduce risk of neck, back, and shoulder pain
✅ Minimize strain on wrists, elbows, and eyes
✅ Improve posture and alignment
✅ Enhance focus and productivity throughout the day
✅ Provide personalized recommendations for your unique workspace

Small adjustments to your chair height, monitor position, and desk setup can make a big difference in how your body feels.

Ergonomic assessments are crucial for people returning to work following neck/back conditions, surgeries, whiplash, vertigo and concussion.

Speak with your therapist or visit the link below to determine if an ergonomic assessment would be beneficial for you. 🖥️💺

Vestibular assessments are specialized physiotherapy assessments that focus on assessing clients experiencing symptoms of dizziness, limited balance, difficulties with visual concentration and/or neck pain. This may apply to anyone who has had a concussion, a history of head or neck injury, inner ear infections, or simply anyone who is experiencing these types of symptoms.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠

Subjective Assessment:
- We will start by chatting about your symptoms. When did they start? How did they start? Is there anything that aggravates them? Anything that makes them better? Once we feel that we have reached a good understanding of what you are feeling, we will examine physical testing.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠

Neck Assessment:
- We will test the range of motion, combined movements, stability and strength of your neck. Limitations in any of these can play a huge role in your vestibular symptoms. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠

Oculomotor (Visual) Assessment:
- We will do visual tests such as tracking an object moving left, right, up and down, and looking back and forth between two objects. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠

Balance Assessment:
- We will test your balance in standing, walking and single-leg standing. We may also add things to challenge balance, such as changing head position and surface stability.

Inner Ear Assessment:
- Depending on your specific symptoms, we may also perform what is called the Dix-Hallpike test. This involves quickly changing position from sitting to lying down, with your head slightly rotated to one side. This helps us to identify if your dizziness is being caused by your vestibular system. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠

Treatment Plan:
- Depending on our findings, we will come up with a treatment plan together to best suit you. This may include hands-on therapy, visual training, balance training, etc. We want you to get back to feeling your best as soon as possible!

If you have any questions about vestibular assessments or want to know if a vestibular assessment would be right for you, don’t hesitate to contact us!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠[link below]

A pelvic health assessment is more than just checking on your symptoms.

It’s a comprehensive look at how your pelvic floor, core, posture, breathing, and daily habits all connect to your health. We dive into your history, your goals, and the challenges you’re facing—because every person’s pelvic health journey is different.

During your assessment, we don’t just look for problems. We give you education so you understand how your body works, why you might be experiencing your symptoms, and what you can do about it.

From there, we create a personalized treatment plan that might include hands-on care, exercises, lifestyle strategies, and ongoing support.

Pelvic health is about building awareness, confidence, and long-term solutions—so you can feel, move and live better.
