Looking for a great warm up for Slo Pitch, golf or tennis?

Try a Rib pull with rotation: A small move that makes a big impact!

This simple mobility drill packs some serious benefits👇
✅Improves Thoracic Mobility: Unlocks your upper back and rib cage for smoother movement.
✅Enhances Breathing Mechanics: More rib mobility = better lung expansion = easier breathing.
✅Reduces Pain & Stiffness: Great for easing tension from sitting, stress, or past injuries.
✅Supports Better Posture: Opens up the chest and helps align your spine naturally.

👉Try adding it to your warm-up or daily mobility routine. Your spine (and your team) will thank you.

One of Elite St Vital physiotherapist, Laura Zimmer’s favorite exercises?
Banded skaters with slides — also known as lateral skaters or skater hops!

Banded skaters are a dynamic, full-body movement that primarily targets lateral (side-to-side) strength, hip and leg stability, and balance. By adding a resistance band and a sliding motion, the exercise becomes even more effective at engaging the glutes, quads, and core — while also elevating your heart rate.

This versatile move not only builds muscular strength and endurance, but also boosts cardiovascular fitness. It’s a great addition to both athletic training and rehabilitation programs, making it a go-to for injury prevention and performance enhancement alike.

Whether you're looking to improve agility, build lower-body strength, or simply spice up your workouts, banded skaters deliver on all fronts!

“Where Is My Pain Coming From?”

This is one of the most common questions we get asked — and the answer isn’t always simple, but Elite Transcona physiotherapist, Deric Kornelson, offers some insight.
Pain isn’t always about where it hurts…
It’s often about why it hurts.

Here’s what we look for 👇
🧠 Nervous System Sensitivity
Sometimes the brain keeps sending danger signals even after tissues have healed.

🦴 Referred Pain
Pain in one area may actually come from a dysfunction elsewhere (e.g. shoulder pain from the neck).

⚙️ Movement Imbalances
Weakness, stiffness, or poor mechanics can overload certain muscles or joints.

🔁 Past Injuries or Habits
Old injuries or repetitive patterns (like slouching or limping) often resurface as new pain.

🎯 Root Cause > Symptom
Good physiotherapy doesn’t just chase the pain — it finds the source.

If your pain keeps coming back or doesn’t make sense, it’s time for a deeper look.
Get in touch today to see where your pain is coming from, and how our team can help!

There’s More Than One Way to Stay Active!
You don’t have to hit the gym 7 days a week to be “fit.”
Movement comes in many forms — and they all count. 🙌
✨ Walk your dog
✨ Dance in your kitchen
✨ Stretch between meetings
✨ Play with your kids
✨ Try a yoga class
✨ Garden, skate, swim — whatever you enjoy

The best way to stay active is the one you’ll actually stick with — and have fun doing! 💥
What is important is to:
✅ Move your body
✅ Respect your pace
✅ Be consistent
Because staying active isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what works for you!

Why Muscle Mass Matters (and every age)

Did you know we naturally begin to lose muscle mass after the age of 30?
This process—known as sarcopenia—can reduce strength, impact balance, and increase the risk of injury over time. But here’s the good news: you can maintain—and even build—muscle as you age!

You’ve heard it before: “If you don’t use it, you lose it.” This applies to both muscles and bones. When you apply consistent physical stress to your body—through resistance training or load-bearing movement—your body adapts by building more muscle and denser bone.

Want to learn more about maintaining and strengthening muscle mass? Check out our blog post at the or give us a call to get started on your strength training journey!
